Do you ever feel like you just can’t catch a break? We do. To be fair, we know we’re really lucky. Both Laura and I are in good health, and Robbie is a wonderful (wonderfully exhausting, that is!) toddler. But when it comes to having work done around the house, we just have terrible luck. In general, we’re more ‘do-it-yourself’ type of folks, but there are just some things where I draw the line. Like installing an escape window in the basement.
But calling someone seems to rarely work out in our favor. I generally like to keep things upbeat here on the blog, but some of these situations just blow my mind! There was the time we had to call the police on our painter…the first week in our new house.

Ingredients
16 oz. linguine pasta uncooked
1 cup white wine see note
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 medium white onion diced
1½ Tbsp garlic minced
½ cup Parmesan cheese grated and divided (plus more for garnish)
2 pounds large raw shrimp shelled and deveined but with tails on
¼ cup unsalted butter melted
½ cup Panko-style bread crumbs
3 Tbsp Italian parsley chopped (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Lightly spray a 9”x13” baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the pasta evenly into baking dish. (Note: If needed, feel free to break pasta in half.)
Using a medium mixing bowl, add wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, mustard, onion, garlic and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese; whisk together until well combined. Pour this mixture over uncooked pasta and stir gently.
Cover pan tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and stir. Replace foil and continue baking for 20 more minutes. (Note: Stirring is important here as the pasta will tend to clump together if it’s not stirred up a bit.)
Using a large mixing bowl, add shrimp, melted butter, Panko-style bread crumbs, remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley; toss until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly on top of pasta.
Bake uncovered for 10-12 more minutes.
Before serving, garnish with additional chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese.
Notes
If you prefer, you can omit the white wine and use 4 cups of chicken stock instead.
