20-MINUTE INSTANT POT SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA



20-Minute Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi Pasta image

The genius of this recipe is that all of the ingredients--wine, garlic, shrimp -- even the pasta -- cook together in one pot. Just make sure to use shrimp that's still frozen or they will overcook. You don't have to serve garlic bread with the dish, but there's nothing better for sopping up all that delicious buttery sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 scallions, sliced
12 ounces thin spaghetti, broken in half
1 1/2 pounds frozen peeled and deveined shrimp
Garlic bread, for serving, optional
Green salad, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Add the butter, olive oil and garlic to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® multi-cooker and set to high saute (see Cook's Note). Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and zest, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil and let simmer 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, then add half of the pasta all in one direction and then the other half of the pasta in a criss-cross fashion. Top with the shrimp and half of the scallions.
  • Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 minute. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 5 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
  • Using tongs, toss the pasta to evenly coat with the sauce and break up any clumps. Top with the remaining scallions and serve with salad and garlic bread if using.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Devein the shrimp before cooking to remove any grit or sand.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan to cook the shrimp. This will help to prevent overcrowding and ensure that the shrimp cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp just until they are opaque and pink in the center.
  • Add the garlic and white wine to the pan after the shrimp have been cooked. This will help to prevent the garlic from burning and will also deglaze the pan, releasing any browned bits.
  • Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is a good choice.
  • Serve the shrimp scampi pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Garlic shrimp scampi pasta is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, white wine, butter, and lemon juice. The pasta is then tossed with the shrimp and sauce, and served immediately. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
