Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
Coarse salt, about 1 teaspoon
2 tablespoons (a couple of generous drizzles) extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (4 turns around the pan in a light stream) extra-virgin olive oil
1 (2-ounce) tin anchovy fillets
6 to 8 large cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
Coarse salt
1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente
Tomato and Onion Salad, as an accompaniment
Crusty bread, as an accompaniment
5 medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, gently seeded, and thinly sliced
1 small white skinned onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
A generous drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons
Coarse salt and black pepper
Crusty Bread, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Combine shrimp with next 6 ingredients and toss to coat shrimp evenly.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add half of the shrimp. Cook shrimp 3 minutes until pink and just firm. Remove shrimp to a warm platter and repeat process with remaining shrimp.
  • Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium low. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add anchovies, garlic, and pepper flakes to oil. Break up anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture.
  • Toss spaghetti in the pan with parsley and the garlic oil, then season with a little coarse salt, to your taste. Top servings of garlic and oil spaghetti with spicy shrimp and serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Crusty Bread.
  • Prep your garlic and parsley for aglio olio and set them, as well as drained pasta and remaining ingredients all within arm's reach of your stove top.
  • The aroma will be intense! Cooked anchovies have a salted-nutty (rather than fishy) taste that compliments the garlic as it sweetens and softens.
  • Toss the tomatoes and onions with the chopped parsley, oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand while you prepare dinner, about 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve salad with crusty bread for mopping up juices and oil.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO



Spaghetti Aglio e Olio image

No two spaghetti aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden-brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.

6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

SPAGHETTI AGLIO OLIO WITH SPICY SHRIMP



Spaghetti Aglio Olio With Spicy Shrimp image

Spaghetti with garlic and olive oil was, by far, my Italian grandfather's favorite dish and I ALWAYS think of him whenever I make it! For those of you with anchovy phobia, this dish works great with or without them. I've made it both ways. Be sure to adjust your salt accordingly if using the anchovies, because they add a lot of saltiness on their own.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil
1 (2 ounce) can anchovy fillets (optional)
7 -8 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
salt
1 lb spaghetti

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente (about 7 minutes?).
  • While pasta cooks, toss shrimp with lemon juice, parsley, pepper flakes, garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Heat large skillet over medium hight heat, add shrimp, oil and spices and cook about 3 minutes or until its pink and slightly firm.
  • Remove shrimp from pan and set aside, covered, to keep warm.
  • At this point, you may pull out the whole, crushed cloves.
  • I usually leave them.
  • Lower heat to medium low and add the 1/4 cup of olive oil.
  • Next, add anchovies, garlic and red pepper to oil.
  • Be sure to break up the anchovies in the pan until they melt into the oil and garlic.
  • Drain pasta and toss it in large bowl with garlic and olive oil mixture.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley, and top with the shrimp.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp will have a slightly sweet smell and firm, opaque flesh. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It has a fruity, peppery flavor that will complement the shrimp and garlic.
  • Don't skimp on the garlic. Garlic is the star of this dish, so use plenty of it. About 4-6 cloves is a good starting point.
  • Add some red pepper flakes for a little spice. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil before you add the garlic. This will give the dish a nice spicy kick.
  • Serve the shrimp and spaghetti aglio e olio immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and spaghetti aglio e olio is a simple, yet delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is made with just a few simple ingredients, but the flavors are amazing. The combination of shrimp, garlic, olive oil, and pasta is simply irresistible. If you are looking for a new shrimp recipe to try, I highly recommend this one.
