Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
2 pounds large shrimp (16 to 20 count), peeled and deveined
Freshly ground pepper
12 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 1 1/2 lemons)
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Pinch of dried oregano
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up
3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
12 ounces orecchiette

Steps:

  • Make the breadcrumbs: In a large stainless-steel skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and slightly browned but not burned. Add the breadcrumbs. Using a wooden spoon, stir the breadcrumbs to coat with the brown butter and toast until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the chopped chives and oregano and the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste, pour into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Make the pasta: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Wipe out the skillet, add the olive oil and heat over high heat until shimmering. Season the shrimp all over with salt and pepper. Working in two batches, add the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook for 1 minute. Turn and cook 1 more minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a large bowl.
  • Add the garlic and shallot to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add a touch more oil if the pan is dry. Add the wine, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and dried oregano and simmer for 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter piece by piece, thoroughly incorporating each piece before adding the next. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Add the shrimp back to the pan and simmer until completely cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta in a colander. Add to the skillet with the shrimp, add the parsley and toss, adding some of the cooking water if necessary to keep it moist. Transfer to bowls and top with some of the herbed breadcrumbs.

SHRIMP LINGUINE WITH HERBS, CORN AND ARUGULA



Shrimp Linguine With Herbs, Corn and Arugula image

The beauty of this pasta lies in its ease: Combine fresh, seasonal ingredients and let them shine. Here, shrimp is sautéed in butter until just cooked through, then set aside while the rest of the dish comes together. Peppery arugula, sweet corn and an abundance of fresh herbs round out this easy-to-assemble dinner, which is perfect after a long day at the beach or even just the office. Seared scallops would work well in place of shrimp, or you could try a combination of the two. Herbs, too, are up to you: Basil screams summer, but tarragon and Italian parsley would also be nice. White wine is used to make a light sauce for the pasta; you know what to do with any extra.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
12 ounces linguine or spaghetti
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed, if you prefer
Black pepper
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
8 ounces baby arugula, spinach or other tender greens
2 cups loosely packed, roughly chopped tender herbs, such as basil and mint
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until it is just short of al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, season the shrimp well with salt and pepper. Melt half the butter in a deep 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the corn to the pan and season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute.
  • Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until it is reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Add the arugula by the handful, stirring well between each addition, until wilted, adding some of the reserved pasta water as needed. Add the remaining butter and the shrimp to the pasta and toss until the butter is melted and everything is coated with sauce. Add more pasta water as needed.
  • Add half the herbs and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl or serve directly from the skillet. Top with remaining herbs, drizzle with olive oil, if desired, and serve immediately.

ROASTED SHRIMP WITH BREAD CRUMBS



Roasted Shrimp With Bread Crumbs image

Mark Bittman brought this recipe to The Times as part of a 2013 shrimp roundup. This especially easy dish cooks them quickly, under high heat and a showering of lemon, olive oil and bread crumbs for brightness paired with comfort. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp. As Mr. Bittman notes, "For the most part, the shrimp will tell you when they're done." Simply make sure they're pink, and pair alongside a salad or over rice.
