Best 4 Shrimp Durango Capellini Recipes

LEMON PASTA WITH ROASTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the shrimp on a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.Toss well, spread them in one layer and roast for 6 to 8 minutes, just until they're pink and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, drizzle some olive oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add the angel hair and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Quickly toss the angel hair with the melted butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and about 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Add the shrimp and serve hot.

• Drain and rinse in cold water.
• Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 2-3 minute.

CAPELLINI AND SHRIMP ALLA ROSA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until thick, about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking.
• During the last 10 minutes of cooking, put a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil, getting ready for the pasta.
• Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher until all large pieces are broken up. (Original recipe says to run through a food mill, but I don't think it's necessary)
• Add the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a boil over moderate heat.
• Add the shrimp and basil and cook just until the shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes.
• Add salt to the pot of boiling water, then add the pasta. Cook until the pasta is just done, about 3 minutes. Drain.
• Toss the pasta with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• The original recipe says to serve the pasta topped with the sauce, but we like to just mix it all together in the pot and serve already coated.
• You can pass freshly grated parmesan at the table, if desired.
