PASTA WITH SHRIMP RAGù

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories dinner, pastas, appetizer, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds medium-to-large shrimp, in their shells
Salt and ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium or 1 large chopped onion
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 large or 3 plum tomatoes, chopped, with juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram or oregano, plus a few leaves for garnish
1 pound pasta, preferably fresh

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:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough.
Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in this salad, so make sure you use a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
Season the salad to taste. Start with the amount of salt and pepper in the recipe, and then adjust to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce.
Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made, so that the shrimp is still warm and the flavors are fresh.

Conclusion:

Santa Fe shrimp salad ragu is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of shrimp, roasted corn, black beans, and avocado is flavorful and satisfying, and the dressing adds a zesty kick. This salad is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp.
