Categories     Pasta

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb. (8 oz.) spaghetti noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb. white shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 cups baby spinach
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add spaghetti noodles and cook until al dente (fully cooked but still firm) according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander and set aside. Toss in some olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking together.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil is sizzling hot. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until the shrimp becomes nicely browned on both sides. Set aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add butter, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and mix until well combined.
  • Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir well and bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and keep stirring until thickened to a desired consistency.
  • Stir in spinach and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss well to coat.
  • Add in cooked spaghetti and toss well to combine. Sprinkle fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil if desired.

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h25m

Yield 12 buffet servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds medium shrimp, shelled and butterflied
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
1 tablespoon finely-minced garlic
1 (2-ounce) tin flat fillets of anchovies
1 1/2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup marinated sun-dried tomatoes, cut into large shreds
1/4 cup capers
1/2 cup torn basil leaves, firmly packed

Steps:

  • Toss shrimp with salt, 2 teaspoons of garlic and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with fresh ground pepper. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Prepare dressing: In the workbowl of a food processor puree anchovies, including the oil from the tin, and lemon juice. With motor running, slowly drip in 1/4 cup olive oil. Thin with 2 tablespoons cold water to make a smooth, medium-thin dressing. If it's too thick, thin with a little more water.
  • Prepare a very hot charcoal fire or preheat broiler. Grill shrimp on a fine-mesh grill over coals, turning them once. Remove them as soon as they turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Or broil shrimp, turning once. Let cool to room temperature and set aside up to 1 hour. To assemble salad: In a large bowl toss shrimp with remaining teaspoon of garlic, pine nuts, anchovy dressing, sun-dried tomatoes, capers and basil.

SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Shrimp With Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Sun-dried tomatoes might scream 1980s nouveau cuisine to you, and that's a fair assessment considering their somewhat profligate use throughout the decade. Yet this dish may have you reconsidering their place in your pantry. Used sparingly, sun-dried tomatoes can impart a bold tomato-y taste that Mark Bittman argues is in some ways "better than 'real' tomato flavor." In this 20-minute sauté, the intense tang of capers and tomatoes plays beautifully off the mild sweetness of shrimp. Serve it over pasta or rice, or alone with a big hunk of good bread.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     seafood, appetizer, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Several sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained if necessary
1/2 cup fish stock or dry white wine
16 to 24 large shrimp, peeled
Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler; rack should be 2 to 4 inches from heat source and the heat as high as possible.
  • Put oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add thyme, garlic, tomatoes and capers. Cook just until mixture sizzles, then add stock or wine; raise heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about a minute, then add shrimp, turning them in sauce.
  • Put skillet under broiler and cook until shrimp are done, 3 to 5 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, garnish with basil, and serve hot or warm.

FETTUCCINE WITH SHRIMP AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Fettuccine with Shrimp and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 to 8 quarts water
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound dried fettuccine
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
16 to 20 medium, fresh shrimp, peeled and de-veined
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in 1 cup hot water for 30 minutes, then drained and julienned
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bring the water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt and re-boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente.
  • Place the pine nuts on a cookie sheet and put in the oven for about 3 minutes, until slightly browned. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, stack the basil leaves and slice into julienne strips. Use a very sharp knife to avoid bruising the basil, causing it to turn black. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add the shrimp to the hot pan. Cook for 1 minute before turning and cooking on the other side. Add the tomatoes to the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and add the basil, garlic, red pepper, and half the pine nuts. Adjust seasoning.
  • When pasta is al dente, drain and toss it in the saute pan with the shrimp/tomato/herb mixture. Divide among 4 plates and garnish each serving with the remaining pine nuts.

SHRIMP AND PENNE PRIMAVERA



Shrimp and Penne Primavera image

Pasta's reputation - restored! With the bad press that pasta's been getting in these carb-phobic times, you may have given it up entirely. The truth is, pasta is only a problem when the noodles make the meal. The trick is rounding it out with healthy add-ins. Here, Whole Foods Markets' executive chef Steven Petsevsky has tossed in a day's supply of vegetables; they supply lots of vitamin C and good-for-you phytochemicals - plus fiber. Shrimp adds a kick of protein, and a handful of fresh herbs makes all the flavors sparkle. Self's testers' verdict: yum.

Categories     Pasta     Tomato     Sauté     Low Fat     Shrimp     Artichoke     Broccoli     Summer     Self

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 sun-dried tomato halves
12 oz penne pasta
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 medium green bell peppers, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
3 cups broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 cup artichoke hearts in brine, drained and quartered
2 medium tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
1 tbsp minced fresh basil
1 tbsp minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, soak sun-dried tomatoes in hot water 20 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water until tender, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Sauté shrimp, onion, peppers, broccoli florets, garlic and oregano 5 minutes, adding a bit of water to prevent sticking if needed. Mince the softened sun-dried tomatoes and add to the pan with artichokes, tomato wedges and cooked pasta; continue to cook, stirring, about 2 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender and pasta is heated through. Add herbs; serve immediately.
