LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH BOW TIE PASTA



Lemon-Garlic Shrimp With Bow Tie Pasta image

This is my favorite way to make shrimp because using the marinade in the sauce carries the shrimp flavor through the entire dish. Wine, garlic and lemon are the main flavors, but with a slight kick. You can skip flouring the shrimp if you want, and go straight to frying them, but you might want to thicken your sauce with a little cornstarch. I like serving these with a nice juicy, grilled rib-eye, but it could also be a main dish. Prep time includes time to marinate shrimp.

Provided by Tee Lee

Categories     Lemon

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup dry white wine or 1/4 cup chicken broth
1 lemons or 1 lime, juice and zest of
3 -6 garlic cloves, finely minced (depending on taste)
1 tablespoon A.1. Original Sauce
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces dry bow tie pasta
1/4-1/3 cup flour
1/2 tablespoon paprika
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
reserved shrimp marinade
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup whole milk
1/4-1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl or large plastic zip-tip bag, combine all marinade ingredients, mix well, add shrimp and let sit 20-30 minutes, stirring or flipping bag occasionally.
  • When shrimp are almost done marinating, start cooking the pasta accoring to directions on the package.
  • Meanwhile, combine flour and paprika (if using) on a large plate or in a large plastic zip-top bag, lightly coat shrimp with flour mixture.
  • Reserve the marinade.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the shrimp about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. (The flour coating may not be crispy, but that okay, most of it will come off of the shrimp and thicken the pasta sauce.).
  • Set cooked shrimp aside.
  • Add butter and marinade to pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Return shrimp to pan, stir well, reduce heat to medium, and add milk.
  • Stirring well, cook about 3-4 minutes or until sauce has thickened. (If you don't use the flour, you may want to thicken now with a cornstarch and water mixture).
  • Add parmesan cheese and parsley, stir to combine.

LEMON, GARLIC AND BASIL SHRIMP SKEWERS



Lemon, Garlic and Basil Shrimp Skewers image

Use this recipe as a template for other shrimp skewers. If you don't have honey mustard, stir a little honey into Dijon. Limes would also work well instead of lemons. And if you're finding your home-grown chives or parsley getting out of hand, substitute them for the basil. These need to marinate for 45 minutes before cooking.

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP ORZO SKILLET



Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Orzo Skillet image

You know that phrase, "a little goes a long way?" Well, that absolutely applies to this dish, which tastes rich and buttery but actually only includes 2 tablespoons of butter! The trick is waiting until the end to add the butter when it can enrich the orzo, which has already been flavored by cooking in broth, and the zucchini, which has a naturally buttery taste when sautéed. The shrimp, also added at the end, gets infused with all the flavors already in the pan, so the whole dish is redolent of garlic and butter and only needs a squeeze of lemon and sprinkle of fresh herbs for contrast. Garnishing with a bit of nutty Parmesan takes it all over the top.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and into 1/4-inch slices (about 2 cups)

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and salt; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Remove with slotted spoon; reserve.
  • Heat same skillet over medium heat; add garlic and pasta. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant and pasta is lightly toasted. Add broth; cover and simmer 10 to 11 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed.

LEMON GARLIC SHRIMP



Lemon Garlic Shrimp image

You just may make memories with this yummy Lemon Garlic Shrimp, suggests Kristine DeGaetano from Brick, New Jersey. "This was the meal I cooked for my husband on our first date," she recalls. "To this day, he still remembers that night whenever I cook it for him." TIP: If you're watching your sodium intake, serve over regular long grain or wild rice, rather than a mix. Tip idea: If you are watching your sodium, serve this over regular long grain or wild rice, not from a mix. From a mix, 1 cup rice is left over. We could give a suggestion for using it.
