Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz (225g) linguine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound (450g) raw shrimp (buy frozen, peeled, and deveined shrimp)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Old bay seasoning (optional - or smoked paprika or cajun)
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic (minced)
½ cup heavy cream ((double cream in the UK))
½ cup parmesan (grated)
¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, boil water and salt it. Add your pasta, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. When the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and add olive oil. Cook the shrimp for a minute, then season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay Seasoning or paprika if using.
  • Continue to cook the shrimp until it's pink. Do this in batches if you're worried that you may overcook the shrimp. Remove the shrimp onto a plate and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt butter and add garlic, cook for 30 seconds or until it's fragrant. Add the heavy cream, and with the spatula deglaze the pan.
  • Add parmesan, let it melt then loosen the sauce with reserved pasta water and allow to simmer for a minute. Taste the sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
  • Toss the pasta with the sauce until it's well coated. Add the shrimp back in to reheat it gently, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.

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.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

  • To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the dark vein that runs along the back.
  • To make the garlic butter sauce, use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish. You can also use a mixture of butter and olive oil.

  • To cook the linguine, follow the package directions. Be sure to salt the water before cooking the pasta.
