Saffron Shrimp and Zucchini image

From coastal Italy (it didn't say where). Prep time is for shrimp that is already cleaned. Personally I like my pasta a little more cooked than given here but this is personal choice.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-1/2-inch slices
3/4 lb shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
3 ounces olive oil
1/4 teaspoon saffron
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lb uncooked fettuccine

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil.
  • Season it with some salt and an ounce of olive oil.
  • Once the water is boiling, set the fettucini in the pot to boil, stirring every minute or two.
  • Set a timer for 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 ounces of olive oil in the pan to get hot on medium-high heat.
  • Saute the shrimp about 2-3 minutes, until just pink.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon to save the oil.
  • Add the zucchini and garlic to the pan. Saute for about 3-4 minutes, until the zucchini is just turning soft.
  • The fettucini is probably done around this time, remove and drain well, set aside.
  • Add the broth, parsely, and the saffron.
  • Reduce by a quarter.
  • Return the shrimp to the pan, and simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Toss in the fettucini and let it get hot. Serve on a large oval dish, and sprinkle with fresh parsely for garnish!
