Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces spaghetti noodles
1 pound large shrimp, deveined (peeled or unpeeled)
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)
28 ounce can crushed fire roasted tomatoes (or best quality crushed tomatoes)*
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 fresh basil leaves, plus more for the garnish

Steps:

  • Thaw the shrimp (according to the package instructions, or see the section above). When thawed, pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel or clean rag.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until it is al dente (start tasting a few minutes before the package recommends: you want it to be tender but still a little firm on the inside). Then drain.
  • In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium high heat. Add the shrimp, basil and kosher salt. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side until almost cooked through, turning them with tongs (they will cook additionally when you add the marinara at the end). Remove the shrimp from the pan into a bowl, leaving the juices inside the skillet.
  • In same skillet, add the marinara sauce ingredients, scraping any bits off of the bottom of skillet as you stir it together. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Add shrimp to the skillet and remove the heat. Serve over pasta and topped with Parmesan cheese (optional) and chopped basil.

SHRIMP ALLA MARINARA



Shrimp alla Marinara image

This recipe quickly turns a batch of homemade marinara sauce into dinner. You can serve it right out of the pan, with crusty bread and a green vegetable. Or, remove the shrimp and toss the sauce with a pound of steaming-hot spaghetti or another long, thin pasta, then put them back together in serving bowls, placing the shrimp on top. Don't attempt to toss the sauce, shrimp, and pasta together -- the lively action needed to coat the pasta will break down the shrimp. You want them to be crisp and savory.

Time 25m

Yield 5 or 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 whole garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
2 1/2 pounds large shrimp (about 30), peeled and deveined
Salt
Marinara sauce (see recipe)
8 fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces (optional)
2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 garlic cloves and cook just until golden and sizzling. Add half the shrimp, placing them in one layer in the pan. (If you crowd the shrimp, they will steam instead of fry.) Sprinkle with salt.
  • Cook, turning once, just until lightly golden and pink around the edges, about 4 minutes total. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate. Discard garlic cloves. Repeat with remaining oil, garlic and shrimp.
  • When all the shrimp are cooked, pour the sauce into the empty skillet, and bring to a lively simmer, stirring to scrape the bottom of the pan. Taste for salt and add more if needed.
  • Stir in the shrimp, basil (if using) and parsley, and cook just until the shrimp are heated through. Serve immediately.
