Steps:
- Set a large 1-gallon stock pot of water to a boil and add the kosher salt. Place the linguine in the pot and stir the pot until the water returns to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender, but with a bit of resistance (al dente), about 12 minutes. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan. Once the butter has melted, season the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the creole seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and add the shrimp to the pan. Sear the shrimp until well browned on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onions and jalapenos to the pan and saute until the onions are softened and lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of creole seasoning, remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the pepper to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce until the cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Return the shrimp to the pan, and add the tomatoes, linguine and the reserved cooking water to the pan and cook, tossing to incorporate for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and add the Pepper Jack, Parmesan and basil and toss to blend. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with the Essence.
- Place the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and spread them out evenly in the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes and quickly turn the shrimp. Add the garlic and capers to the pan and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper and add the pasta, tossing to coat well. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve hot.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Tips:
- Use fresh, large shrimp. Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through.
- Use a good quality pasta. The pasta is the foundation of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality pasta that will hold its shape and texture.
- Don't rinse the pasta after cooking. Rinsing the pasta will remove the starch, which is what helps the sauce stick to the pasta.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes this dish shine, so it's important to use a flavorful sauce that you enjoy.
- Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or chives add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Emeril Lagasse's shrimp pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. The pasta is cooked al dente and the whole dish is topped with fresh herbs. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
