GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
- Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F Cut 1 head cauliflower into florets and spread in one layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 TBSPs of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
- Transfer cauliflower to food processor and add butter. Process, scraping sides of processor as needed, until cauliflower has the texture of smooth grits or polenta. Add about ½ jar of the Ragu Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sauce and pulse to combine. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, make the polenta. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add the butter. While whisking gently, pour the polenta into the boiling water in a steady stream. Turn down the heat to low and continue whisking until the polenta has thickened enough that it doesn't settle back on the bottom of the pan when you stop stirring. Add additional water if polenta gets too thick. Cook polenta for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, making sure polenta doesn't get too thick, adding small amounts of water, if necessary.
- Add the remaining Ragu Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sauce and the prepared cauliflower to the cooked polenta and stir well. Cover and keep warm.
- Next, roast the shrimp and tomatoes. Spread the shrimp on a rimmed baking sheet. Add the tomatoes and the garlic to the baking sheet and drizzle 2 TBSPs of olive oil over all. Season with salt and pepper and toss so that the shrimp and tomatoes are coated with the oil and garlic. Roast at 425 degrees F for 7-8 minutes, or until shrimp is cooked through and tomatoes are bursting and starting to char. Remove the shrimp and tomatoes from the oven and add the arugula to the pan. Using tongs, toss the arugula with the hot shrimp and tomatoes so that it wilts slightly.
- To serve, spoon some polenta onto a plate or into a shallow bowl. Top with the shrimp and tomato mixture. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.

Steps:
- Shell shrimp; boil shells with just enough water to cover, a large pinch of salt, a grinding of pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Simmer 10 minutes, then drain, reserving liquid (discard shells). Bring a pot of water to boil for pasta and salt it.
- Meanwhile, finely chop about a third of the shrimp. Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; a minute later add onion and carrot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are quite soft, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, herb and chopped shrimp, and cook, still over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down. Add stock from shrimp shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is no longer soupy but still moist.
- When sauce is almost done, cook pasta. When pasta has about 5 minutes to go, stir whole shrimp into sauce. Serve pasta with sauce and shrimp, garnished with a few leaves of marjoram or oregano.

Tips:
- Choose large shrimp: The shrimp will shrink as they cook, so it's best to start with large shrimp so that they end up being a good size.
- Use fresh tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes will give the dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Roast the tomatoes and garlic before adding them to the sauce: Roasting the tomatoes and garlic will concentrate their flavors and make them sweeter. This will give the sauce a richer flavor.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese is one of the key ingredients in the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will be juicy and tender, and the sauce will be flavorful and rich.
Conclusion:
This roasted shrimp and tomatoes with roasted garlic Parmesan ragu is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp are juicy and tender, the sauce is flavorful and rich, and the roasted tomatoes and garlic add a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
