My husband's favorite seafood dish. The sauce is thin and rich, but not creamy nor red. I use a can of diced clams, though the recipe originally calls for 2 dozen cherrystone or littleneck clams, shucked, reserving the liquid. It's up to you on which one you'd like to use.

PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND GARLIC SAUCE



Pasta With Shrimp and Garlic Sauce image

I came across this recipe years ago in one of my mother's cooking magazines and it turned out very well. The flavour changes depending on the type of wine you use.

Provided by Canadian Pixie

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or basil)
1 lb medium shrimp, cleaned, uncooked
3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 lb cooked pasta (spaghetti, fettucini or linguini)
1/4 cup butter, cut in small pieces

Steps:

  • In large skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter; cook onion and garlic until tender.
  • Add half of the parsley (or basil) and shrimp, cook for 1 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, wine, salt and pepper; bring to boil. Cook just until shrimp turn opaque and begin to curl.
  • Remove from heat and reheat just before pasta is ready.
  • Place cooked pasta over butter in warm serving dish; pour sauce over and toss until pasta is well coated and most of liquid has been absorbed.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh seafood, vegetables, and herbs will give your linguine with shrimp and garlic cream sauce the best flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked quickly over high heat so that it remains tender and juicy. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the linguine and shrimp without being too heavy. If the sauce is too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk or cream.
  • Season the dish to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or herbs.
  • Garnish the dish before serving: A sprinkling of fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil will add a finishing touch to your linguine with shrimp and garlic cream sauce.
