Categories     Pasta

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb. (8 oz.) spaghetti noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb. white shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 cups baby spinach
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add spaghetti noodles and cook until al dente (fully cooked but still firm) according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander and set aside. Toss in some olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking together.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil is sizzling hot. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until the shrimp becomes nicely browned on both sides. Set aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add butter, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and mix until well combined.
  • Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir well and bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and keep stirring until thickened to a desired consistency.
  • Stir in spinach and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss well to coat.
  • Add in cooked spaghetti and toss well to combine. Sprinkle fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil if desired.

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces long fusilli (, or other long noodle of choice)
4 tablespoons butter (, divided)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pound shrimp (, peeled, cleaned, and deveined (leave the tails on if you like))
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (, plus more for salting the pasta water)
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons shallot (, minced)
2 large cloves garlic (, minced or pressed)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes in oil (, drained and chopped (a 6-ounce jar))
1 cup mascarpone (, (an 8-ounce container))
1 cup reserved pasta water
1/2 cup fresh tarragon (, roughly chopped, plus more for serving (you could also use fresh basil if you prefer))

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water for your pasta. Once the water is boiling, generously season with kosher salt and add the pasta. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil. Season the shrimp with the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Once the butter has melted into the oil, add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and start to become opaque. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
  • To the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium. Add the shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring so the garlic doesn't burn. Add the tomato paste and sun dried tomatoes and continue to stir for 3-4 minutes. Check the pasta which should now be al dente. Use a coffee mug to reserve 1 cup of pasta water then drain the pasta but do not rinse. Add half of the reserved pasta water to the tomato mixture, stirring and scraping up all of the browned bits on the skillet. Stir in the rest of the pasta water until saucy. Add the mascarpone and stir until it has melted into the sauce, then add the cooked shrimp, and tarragon and cook for another or minute or two. Add the pasta to the skillet, toss everything together, and taste for seasoning, adding more salt if desired. To serve, top with more tarragon and a kiss.

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.

Categories     Pasta     Shellfish     Tomato     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Basil     Shrimp     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 to 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
4 large shallots, sliced
3/4 cup sliced drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 12-ounce package linguine
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sauté until pink, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to medium bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to same pot. Add shallots, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, garlic, lemon peel, and crushed red pepper. Sauté until shallots are soft, about 4 minutes. Add canned tomatoes and simmer until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Mix in basil. Return shrimp and any juices to sauce; stir to heat through, about 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in pot of boiling salted water until tender, but still firm to bite. Drain. Add pasta to sauce. Toss over medium heat until sauce coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; top with cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will add flavor to your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of pasta. This recipe can be made with any type of pasta that you like.

Conclusion:

This garlic shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes with pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful garlic and sun-dried tomato sauce, and the pasta is cooked to al dente perfection. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp.
