Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
4 medium sized garlic cloves, finely minced
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted or 1/3 cup walnuts
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and red pepper flakes
1 lb shrimp, large, peeled and deveined
1 batch basil pesto (recipe above, divided)
1/2-2/3 cup olive oil
1/4-1/2 cup lemon juice, fresh (2 or 3 lemons)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lb linguine, cooked al dente
1 cup pasta cooking water

Steps:

  • Pesto Directions:
  • Put basil leaves and garlic in bowl of a food processor.
  • Pulse a few times to combine.
  • Add Parmesan cheese and pine nuts; pulse a few more times.
  • Scrape mixture into a bowl and whisk in olive oil.
  • Add salt and red pepper flakes to taste; stir.
  • Lemon Linguine:
  • Place shrimp in a non-metal bowl or zipper bag; spoon in half of the pesto to coat. Mix well. Set aside the rest of the pesto for later.
  • Place shrimp in the refrigerator to marinate for about 30 minutes. You can also put the shrimp on wooden skewers that have been thoroughly soaked in water.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or grill pan. Add the shrimp and saute just until it turns pink, about 1 or 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove shrimp from pan and cover to keep warm. Shrimp will continue to cook for a minute after you remove it from the heat.
  • In a large serving bowl, whisk the 1/4 cup of the lemon juice and olive oil until partially emulsified.
  • Add the Parmesan and continue whisking until creamy.
  • Toss in the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
  • Adjust the oil-to-lemon ratio by adding more lemon juice, a little at a time, until it is to your taste.
  • Add hot pasta to the bowl and toss until well-coated. The heat from the pasta will melt the cheese and help it stick to the linguine.
  • Add some cooking water if the pasta seems dry.
  • Portion the linguine onto dinner plates; top each with 4 to 6 shrimp.
  • Ladle some remaining pesto onto each plate as well.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 (16 ounce) package linguine
8 ounces chicken breasts
8 ounces large shrimp (41/60, fully cooked)
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
3 pinches salt (amount to taste)
3 dashes pepper (amount to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil (to saute chicken)
3 tablespoons olive oil (for sauce)
1 onion (chopped)
6 garlic cloves (crushed or minced)
1/2 cup marinated artichoke (quartered)
2 tablespoons capers
1/3 cup roasted red pepper (julienne-cut)

1 cup white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Cook linguine according to packaging instructions (al dente).
  • Flatten the chicken with a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper (both sides).
  • Heat olive oil in a sauce pan and saute the chicken on medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes (or until golden brown on both sides). Then, place the chicken in a baking dish and continue cooking in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees (or the chicken's internal temp reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Slice the chicken into 1/2 to 3/4 inch bite size cubes or chunks. Set aside.
  • This recipe calls for 'fully cooked shrimp' so make sure your shrimp is fully cooked, warmed, and thawed. Set shrimp aside.
  • In the sauce pan, at medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and add the onions until the onions caramelize and release their fragrance. Then, add the garlic, artichokes, capers, roasted red peppers, and stir for about 2 minutes (until the artichokes start to tenderize).
  • Sprinkle the pan with the flour and stir until all ingredients are coated.
  • Add the white wine and the lemon zest and stir until it reaches a boil. Then, simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Bring the heat back up then incorporate the cream. Stir for about a minute. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir When the cheese is incorporated (melts into sauce) and the sauce thickens, add the lemon juice and stir.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, and shrimp then stir for about a minute. Add salt to taste.
  • Add the linguine and a little bit of the parsley (save some for garnishing). Make sure the linguine is thoroughly coated with the sauce.
  • Plate on to a large serving dish. Try to transfer the linguine first so you can top the dish with the sauce and ingredients. Garnish with chopped parsley, Parmesan, and maybe a sliced lemon and some black pepper. Enjoy.

LINGUINE WITH SHRIMP AND LEMON-PISTACHIO BREAD CRUMBS



Linguine With Shrimp and Lemon-Pistachio Bread Crumbs image

Pangrattato, or bread crumbs in Italian, is the secret star of this dish. When mixed with sweet pistachios, bright lemon zest and fresh mint, it makes for a crunchy, flavorful topping that pairs well with garlicky shrimp and linguine. The citrus and herbs provide welcome complexity to an otherwise simple dish. Serve with a shaved vegetable salad of fennel, radishes and Parmesan.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Kosher salt
1 pound linguine
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 cup chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley
1/2 lemon, for serving
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons raw pistachios, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest, from 1 lemon
3 tablespoons finely chopped mint or Italian parsley
Flaky salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until it is just short of al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the bread crumbs: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet with sides over medium-low heat, add the panko bread crumbs, and toast, stirring frequently, until golden, about 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the crumbs to a small bowl and toss together with the pistachios, lemon zest and mint and season with flaky salt. Set aside. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Season the shrimp well with salt and pepper. In the skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat, add the shrimp and sauté until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes a side. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Stir in the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook for 1 more minute, making sure the garlic doesn't burn.
  • Add the chicken stock, raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan and cook until reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the butter and cook until it's melted and the sauce becomes emulsified.
  • Turn the heat to low, add the pasta, shrimp and parsley to the skillet and toss until glossy with sauce. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen up the sauce. Top with half the bread crumbs and a good squeeze of lemon. Serve in bowls and pass the remaining bread crumbs at the table. Drizzle with additional olive oil and season with flaky salt, if desired.

Provided by Carol White

Categories     Seafood

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg buitoni fresh linguine pasta
1 lb medium white shrimp, peeled an deveined
3/4 c bar harbor clam juice
5 oz cooking creme - savory lemon & herb
4 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c mini red bell peppers, diced
2 Tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
1/4 c fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped & divided
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
1 Tbsp lemon zest

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. In addition, hold back about 1/2 cup of pasta water for sauce.
  • 2. In large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter to the pan. Add shrimp and sauté until shrimp are pink and tender. (Do not over cook.) Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
  • 3. Add to skillet, clam juice, cooking crème, and garlic and let simmer for about 2 minutes, then add part of the pasta water to achieve desired thickness of pasta sauce. Now add linguine and toss gently until pasta is coated with sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper. Add red peppers, fresh tarragon, lemon juice, a little parsley, and add shrimp back to skillet and toss lightly to combine with pasta.
  • 4. Serve linguine garnish with lemon zest and remaining parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are just opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil has a fruity, flavorful taste that will complement the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to add some spice: Red pepper flakes or chili powder can add a nice kick to the dish.
  • Serve immediately: Lemon shrimp linguine is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Lemon shrimp linguine is a quick, easy, and delicious weeknight meal. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The bright flavors of lemon and garlic pair perfectly with the tender shrimp and al dente pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
