Tips:

To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp or frozen shrimp that has been thawed.
If you're using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking. You can do this by placing it in a colander in the sink and running cold water over it for a few minutes.
To make sure the shrimp is cooked through, cook it until it turns pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, as it will become tough.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the sauce will not be as thick and creamy.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Serve the creamy linguine with shrimp immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
