Number Of Ingredients 16

Salt and pepper
1 pound penne pasta
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, cut into matchsticks, plus 1 more for pressing
1 tablespoon finely snipped fresh rosemary leaves
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 pound large shrimp, peeled
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and finely diced
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1/2 cup thinly sliced basil leaves, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon tamari sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons medium sherry
2 teaspoons sugar
1/3 cup pitted and halved black olives

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil; add salt. Add pasta, and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain, and return pasta to the pot with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 garlic clove put through a garlic press. Stir to combine. Keep warm.
  • In a large skillet, heat remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add garlic matchsticks, and cook until golden, stirring constantly. Add rosemary, and cook for 1 minute. Remove garlic and rosemary from the skillet; set aside. Add onion, and cook, stirring, until golden.
  • Add shrimp and jalapenos to the infused oil, and cook, stirring, until shrimp are just done. Add peppers, basil, salt, and pepper, and cook until the peppers are cooked, yet still crisp. Make a well in the center of the skillet, and add tamari sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sherry, and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar. Return garlic and rosemary to the skillet. Add olives, and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve shrimp and peppers over the warm penne. Garnish with sprigs of basil. Serve immediately.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, so I used parsley instead. It was still very tasty.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce, and it gave it a really nice flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge, and this dish was a perfect way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp turned out rubbery. Not sure what went wrong.

I didn't have any rosemary, so I used thyme instead. It was still very good!

The shrimp was a little too spicy for me, but the flavor was still amazing. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I used frozen shrimp and it still came out great! I served it over rice, and it was a hit with my guests.
