Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces whole-wheat linguine
1 pound fresh or frozen raw shrimp (peeled, tails removed (if frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using))
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 shallot (peeled and diced)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (divided (use less if sensitive to spice; 1 teaspoon will have a good kick))
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
24 ounces mixed vegetables ( of your choice, fresh or frozen. If frozen, thaw and drain)
1/4 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc (or substitute low-sodium chicken broth))
Zest and juice of 1 large or 2 small lemons
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus additional as desired)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (plus additional as desired)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, drain remaining water, and then toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 additional minute. Add the shrimp, and then sprinkle with half the amount of red pepper (1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon depending upon your desired spice level), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté, stirring to coat with garlic, just until cooked through (both sides will be pink and opaque), about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add the vegetables and the remaining 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are hot and lightly sautéed, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the white wine and return the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce. Stir in the lemon zest and juice and remove from heat.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet and toss. If the pasta is too dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water. Serve warm, topped with Parmesan and parsley.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb medium shrimp, deveined and tails removed
1 lb spaghetti noodles (more or less, depending on family size)
6 -8 garlic cloves, according to personal taste, minced
1/4 cup butter
olive oil (3 drizzles)
italian seasoning
fresh ground pepper
red pepper flakes
salt
herbs (according to taste)

Steps:

  • Boil pasta in water till tender, save 1 cup of pasta water for use later. I always put some oil, salt, and fresh herbs in with my pasta when I boil it. Drain and set aside when done.
  • While pasta is boiling, wash shrimp.
  • Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp.
  • Let cook till a little pink and starting to curl. Then add garlic.
  • Cook 5-7 min., add oil. Continue to stir till shrimp is pink and curled.
  • Add pasta to skillet. Add seasonings. Add just enough saved pasta water till it is not dry but not swimming in liquid either. Depending on amount of pasta this requires 1/2 the cup or all of it. Start with adding 1/4 of it then work up from there.
  • Keep tossing all ingredients around in skillet till all is incorporated and hot. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, buy your ingredients from a local market or farm.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until it is pink and opaque.
  • Use a Generous Amount of Garlic: Garlic is the star of this dish, so don't be shy with it. Use at least 4 cloves of garlic, and feel free to add more if you like.
  • Deglaze the Pan with White Wine: Deglazing the pan with white wine will help to add flavor and depth to the sauce.
  • Use a Good Quality Pasta: The pasta is an important part of this dish, so use a good quality pasta that will hold up well to the sauce.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the shrimp and pasta are still hot.

Conclusion:

This garlicky shrimp and pasta dish is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. Serve this dish with a side of garlic bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
