Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
12 ounces linguine
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup dry white wine
Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is just golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate. Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer until slightly reduced, 2 minutes.
  • Return the shrimp and any juices from the plate to the skillet along with the linguine, butter and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Continue to cook, tossing, until the butter is melted and the shrimp is hot, about 2 minutes, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed. Season with salt; stir in the parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Green & Yellow Squash 'linguini' W/ Shrimp Scampi image

Super light and deliciously satisfying, this creation totally hit the spot on a night I was craving pasta! The best part is? It's so light, feel free to go back for seconds, maybe even thirds! And Never fear, that "fat" is healthy fat (Monounsaturated fat aka MUFA) from the olive oil ;) The kind that's good for you!

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 green zucchini
3 -4 yellow squash
1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 garlic cloves, divided
2 tablespoons white wine
1/2 a lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons romano cheese, grated
red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon basil
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry all zucchini and squash. Remove the ends. Over a large bowl, with a vegetable peeler, peel all zucchini and squash lengthwise into linguini/pappardelle-like strips. Continue to peel until you see seeds. Discard seeded cores of zucchini and squash.
  • Finely mince the garlic cloves. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Once oil is heated, add the "linguini". Sauté for about 1 minute. Add half the minced garlic, generous amounts of salt and pepper, and sauté for 1 more minute, gently stirring/folding with tongs. Remove "linguini" from heat and reserve.
  • To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat. Add the remaining garlic and stir; do not burn garlic. When garlic is lightly toasted, add the shrimp, cooking for only 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the white wine and let simmer for a few seconds.
  • Before shrimp are completely pink, add the red pepper flakes, parsley, basil and lemon juice. Add the "linguini", more salt and pepper and the grated cheese. Toss to combine, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large dish and serve sprinkled with additional grated cheese and lemon wedges.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
2 medium yellow squashes (1 pound), trimmed and cut into thin noodles (5 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season shrimp with salt; add to skillet in a single layer. Cook, flipping once, until opaque, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium; add butter, garlic, and red-pepper flakes to skillet. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes.
  • Add squash noodles; cook, stirring, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add lemon juice, parsley, and shrimp. Season with salt. Toss to combine; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Green or yellow squash are best for this recipe. They should be firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Cook the squash properly: Overcooking will make the squash mushy, so cook it just until it is tender-crisp. You can cook the squash in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, or roasting.
  • Make sure the shrimp is cooked through: Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is essential for this recipe. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers to the sauce. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a brighter flavor.

Conclusion:

Green and yellow squash linguini with shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The squash and shrimp are cooked together in a flavorful sauce, and the linguini provides a hearty base. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
