SHRIMP PASTA TOSS



SHRIMP PASTA TOSS image

Categories     Pasta     Shellfish     Sauté     Low Fat

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound shrimp (cooked, shelled and deveined), large is best.
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 (15-oz) can diced tomatoes
1-2 tsp basil, depending on your taste
3/4 lb of angel hair pasta

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions. Prepare shrimp and set aside. Saute the garlic and onion in the olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the 15-oz can diced tomatoes and basil and saute for 1 minute. Toss olive oil mixture with the pasta and shrimp. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: Use large shrimp (21-25 count) for best results. Smaller shrimp will overcook easily.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so don't overcook it. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it turns pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Use a high-quality pasta that will hold its shape when cooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp and pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and the pasta from getting clumpy.
  • Season the dish well: Don't be afraid to season the dish with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the shrimp and pasta.
