  6. Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat.

  12. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  13. Add the cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of Essence, remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the pepper to the pan and bring to a boil.
  14. Cook the sauce until the cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
  15. 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.
  16. Remove pan from the heat and add the Pepper Jack, Parmesan, parsley and basil and toss to blend.
