Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb shrimp ((Use unfrozen uncooked shrimp. If you have to, you can use unfrozen cooked shrimp - it will work here too))
4 oz sun-dried tomatoes (in olive oil)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 cup half-and-half (or whole milk)
1 teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 cup Parmesan cheese (, freshly shredded)
8 oz fettuccine pasta ((use gluten free brown rice fettuccine for gluten free version))

Steps:

  • Note: if using sun-dried tomatoes in oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained oil for sauteing as described below:
  • In a large skillet, saute minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (drained from oil) in 2 tablespoons of oil (reserved from the sun-dried tomatoes jar - see note above) for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant.
  • Add shrimp, sprinkle with a small amount of salt, paprika, and cook on medium heat for about 2 more minutes.
  • Add half-and-half, basil, and crushed red pepper to the skillet with shrimp, bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Whisk the Parmesan cheese into the hot cream and stir to melt cheese, on the lowest heat setting, until cheese is melted.
  • Remove the sauce from heat. Add more salt, basil, and more crushed red pepper if desired, to taste.
  • In the meantime, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain (reserving some pasta water).
  • Add cooked pasta to the creamy mixture, add more salt, basil, and more crushed red pepper if desired, to taste. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to thin it out.

SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Shrimp With Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Sun-dried tomatoes might scream 1980s nouveau cuisine to you, and that's a fair assessment considering their somewhat profligate use throughout the decade. Yet this dish may have you reconsidering their place in your pantry. Used sparingly, sun-dried tomatoes can impart a bold tomato-y taste that Mark Bittman argues is in some ways "better than 'real' tomato flavor." In this 20-minute sauté, the intense tang of capers and tomatoes plays beautifully off the mild sweetness of shrimp. Serve it over pasta or rice, or alone with a big hunk of good bread.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Several sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained if necessary
1/2 cup fish stock or dry white wine
16 to 24 large shrimp, peeled
Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler; rack should be 2 to 4 inches from heat source and the heat as high as possible.
  • Put oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add thyme, garlic, tomatoes and capers. Cook just until mixture sizzles, then add stock or wine; raise heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about a minute, then add shrimp, turning them in sauce.
  • Put skillet under broiler and cook until shrimp are done, 3 to 5 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, garnish with basil, and serve hot or warm.

CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP WITH SUNDRIED TOMATOES AND BASIL RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Creamy Garlic Shrimp with Sundried Tomatoes and Basil Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by PineyCook

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
6 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 pound shrimp or prawns, peeled, tails on or off
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup white wine, optional
5 ounces jarred sun-dried tomato strips in oil, drained
1 3/4 cups half and half
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup basil leaves, chopped, or 1 tablespoon dried basil
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, fresh grated
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoons of milk, optional
2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Using a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat and add in the garlic and sauté for about a minute or until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add your shrimp and sauté on both sides until just cooked through and pink, around two minutes per side. Make sure to not over cook the shrimp or it will become rubbery. Scoop the shrimp out with a slotted spoon into a bowl and set aside. Add the diced onions to the large skillet and fry until translucent. Add the white wine and allow to reduce a little. Now add your sun-dried tomatoes and saute another couple of minutes or so to release their flavors. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the parmesan cheese and give it a little stir. To make the sauce thicker, add the milk and cornstarch mixture to the center of sauce and quickly stir through until desired thickness is reached. Add the bowl of shrimp back into the pan and mix thoroughly. Stir in the basil and other herbs. Serve over veggies, pasta, rice or couscous.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp in a hot pan: This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil adds a rich, flavorful taste to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to add your own favorite herbs and spices to create a dish that's uniquely yours.

Conclusion:

This creamy garlic shrimp with sundried tomatoes and basil is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to impress your guests at a dinner party. The shrimp are cooked in a creamy garlic sauce that's flavored with sundried tomatoes and basil. The result is a dish that's both flavorful and satisfying.
