Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound medium shrimp (U41-50), shelled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Salt liberally.
  • In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the baking soda and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes (this keeps the shrimp moist with a nice crust on the outside).
  • Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the oil to the skillet, then arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the oil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until a nice crust is formed, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, then add the butter and garlic. Cook gently until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add the wine to deglaze and let simmer for 1 more minute. Add the peas and pasta. Toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper. Add a generous amount of Parmesan and toss again, adding the pasta water as necessary.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Garnish with more Parmesan and the parsley. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the shrimp and sugar snap peas. Fresh ingredients will have the best flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to devein the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the dark vein that runs along the back of the shrimp, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Add the sugar snap peas to the pasta during the last minute or two of cooking. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh herbs such as basil or parsley.
