Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small to medium onion
EVOO
4 tablespoons butter
3 large cloves garlic
Salt
1 teaspoon Calabrian chili paste OR 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup vodka
1 can (28 ounces) Italian crushed tomatoes
A few leaves of basil, torn, plus a few to serve
1 pound penne rigate pasta
1 pound large raw shrimp, deveined and tails removed
1 lemon
1/4 cup Pernod or white vermouth
A handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
A handful freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus some to pass at table, optional ( -- and controversial to some Italians)

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water on the stove for pasta. Also put up a deep skillet for sauce and a nonstick skillet for shrimp.
  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion.
  • In a large deep skillet, heat EVOO, a turn of the pan. Add 2 tablespoons butter and when it foams add the onions. Stir to soften while you peel and chop the garlic. Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic to onions and season with salt. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of chili paste or about 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Add vodka and reduce by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and tear in a few leaves of basil. Reduce heat and simmer sauce, 10 minutes.
  • Season pasta water with a fat tablespoon of salt, add penne and cook 1 minute less than package directions, about 8 minutes. Have a mug or measuring cup on hand.
  • Add shrimp to a medium bowl and toss with remaining garlic. Thinly slice a lemon and toss with shrimp.
  • In the second skillet, heat EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high and melt in 2 tablespoons butter. Add the shrimp mixture and toss 2 to 3 minutes; shrimp should be pink and opaque. Add a splash of Pernod or vermouth, the remaining red pepper flakes, a little salt and parsley; toss. Turn off heat.
  • Add cream to sauce and stir. Add shrimp to sauce, bring back to a bubble and turn off heat.
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup of starchy salty water and drain pasta or transfer to sauce with a spider. Toss pasta with sauce and grated cheese, using water to loosen as necessary.
  • Transfer pasta to large serving bowl or to individual shallow bowls to serve.

Time 2h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ cup kosher salt
1 gallon cold water
2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp (21 to 30 per pound)
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
⅓ cup white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Dissolve the kosher salt in 1 gallon of water in a large pot. Add the shrimp, and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Drain and pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp, white wine, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until the shrimp is no longer translucent in the center, about 6 minutes. Stir in the black pepper, parsley, and lemon zest before tossing with the angel hair pasta.
