Scrumptious Shrimp Scampi Linguine image

I've been buying a well known frozen dinner bag that's absolutely fantastic, but rather expensive. So I checked the ingredients, searched scampi recipes online, and decided to create my own by adding, subtracting, and tweaking all of them. This is my first!!

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
6 cloves garlic, sliced
48 large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
½ cup dry white wine (such as Chardonnay)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ cup clam juice
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the linguine cooking water, and drain pasta well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the red and yellow bell pepper and garlic until the peppers have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, and cook and stir until the shrimp are opaque and pink, about 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a bowl and set aside, leaving the peppers and garlic in the skillet.
  • Stir the wine, lemon juice, and clam juice into the skillet, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Mix in 2 more tablespoons of butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, and return the shrimp to the skillet. Stir in reserved pasta cooking water, cream, red pepper flakes, parsley, and sea salt. Add the cooked linguine, and toss lightly with the shrimp and sauce in the skillet. Simmer the mixture over medium-low heat for 5 minutes to let the pasta absorb some of the sauce, and serve hot.

CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI



Classic Shrimp Scampi image

Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups clam juice
4 wide strips lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped (stems reserved)
6 cloves garlic
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails reserved)
1 onion
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the clam broth: Combine 4 1/2 cups water, the clam juice, lemon zest and parsley stems in a saucepan. Smash 3 garlic cloves and add to the pan along with the shrimp tails. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, chop the onion and remaining 3 garlic cloves. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt; cook 30 seconds. Add the rice and cook until it starts to toast, 2 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  • Strain the clam broth, then return to the saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Add 3 cups clam broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the rice and cook, stirring, until mostly absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 3 more cups clam broth and simmer, stirring, until the rice is just tender and the liquid is thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the shrimp in the last 2 minutes of cooking and cook until opaque.
  • Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the lemon juice and most of the chopped parsley. Add enough clam broth until creamy; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining parsley.
