Categories     Seafood

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped/minced (about 1 teaspoon))
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper ((optional, more or less depending on spice preference))
1 - 1.5 lb. jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined, tail on or off depending on preference.)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (more if needed)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice ((from about 1 lemon))
1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth, or water in a pinch)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil (2 tablespoons) in a large skillet (I prefer nonstick for this recipe) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (2 cloves/1 teaspoon), dried oregano (1 teaspoon), and crushed red pepper if using (1/2 teaspoon). Sauté until fragrant and garlic is a little toasted, but not burned (turn heat down to medium-low if necessary), about 2-3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat shrimp dry and season with kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté over medium-high heat, until almost cooked completely though and opaque, about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Add the lemon juice and white wine (1/4 cup). Stir to coat the shrimp in everything, and continue cooking until liquid has reduced almost completely and thickened (about 2-3 minutes), coating the shrimp in a thick sauce. Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates, making sure to drizzle all the sauce from the skillet on top of the shrimp to serve.

SHRIMP LINGUINE WITH HERBS, CORN AND ARUGULA



Shrimp Linguine With Herbs, Corn and Arugula image

The beauty of this pasta lies in its ease: Combine fresh, seasonal ingredients and let them shine. Here, shrimp is sautéed in butter until just cooked through, then set aside while the rest of the dish comes together. Peppery arugula, sweet corn and an abundance of fresh herbs round out this easy-to-assemble dinner, which is perfect after a long day at the beach or even just the office. Seared scallops would work well in place of shrimp, or you could try a combination of the two. Herbs, too, are up to you: Basil screams summer, but tarragon and Italian parsley would also be nice. White wine is used to make a light sauce for the pasta; you know what to do with any extra.

Kosher salt
12 ounces linguine or spaghetti
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed, if you prefer
Black pepper
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine

Add the remaining butter and the shrimp to the pasta and toss until the butter is melted and everything is coated with sauce. Add more pasta water as needed.
  • Add half the herbs and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl or serve directly from the skillet. Top with remaining herbs, drizzle with olive oil, if desired, and serve immediately.
