GARLIC SHRIMP AND SPINACH PASTA



Garlic Shrimp and Spinach Pasta image

This meal is quick and easy! You only need one pan to prepare and it's really quite healthy as well! I came up with this recipe with ingredients I had handy in my fridge, freezer, and pantry.

Provided by Logans Mama

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb thin spaghetti
20 -24 cooked de-veined jumbo shrimp (Frozen)
8 -9 garlic cloves
1 (8 ounce) bag spinach
1 large onion
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Thaw and pat dry shrimp, set aside to bring to room temperature.
  • Boil water for pasta.
  • Meanwhile, prepare garlic by slicing longways in slivers, leaving the garlic quite large. Sometimes, I only cut the garlic cloves in half and leave them in large pieces. Sometimes, I chop them finely. It depends on my mood!
  • Finely chop onion.
  • In a large skillet, add margarine/butter and Olive Oil and heat through on medium.
  • Add onion and garlic.
  • Add pasta to boiling water.
  • Sautee garlic and onion until onions becomes transparent but do not burn the garlic! Add the onion first if you are afraid to burn the garlic. Burning it will cause it to taste bitter.
  • Add shrimp, fresh ground pepper, and salt to taste.
  • Once shrimp begin to curl up a little, add spinach. The spinach will be wilted in the pan when finished.
  • By this time, your pasta should be ready for draining.
  • Drain pasta and add to your shrimp and spinach mix still in the pan.
  • Toss thoroughly and plate.
  • Feel free to add chopped red or yellow pepper to this recipe. Baby scallops are also very tasty added to it as well.

CREAMY LEMON SPINACH PASTA WITH SCALLOPS & SHRIMP



Creamy Lemon Spinach Pasta With Scallops & Shrimp image

A very easy impressive dish, but also very quick to prepare. Now being in FL, fresh seafood is always available. But frozen shrimp would work fine for this. And, I also don't have too bad of luck with some frozen scallops. As these are poached in this dish rather than seared, the frozen scallops will work ok, if fresh are not available. The spinach fettuccini or linguini is really the key to bring all the flavors together. The last time I used fresh pasta which really made a big difference. My Dad and friends love this dish and request it all the time. It is creamy and rich, but the zucchini and lemon really lightens the richness.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces spinach fettuccine (linguini will also be a nice substitute, but spinach really is what makes this dish)
1/2 shrimp, I used ex-large, but use whatever is on sale (un-cooked, peeled and deveined)
1/2 lb sea scallops, if you can't get sea scallops, bay scallops will be just fine
2 cups zucchini, coarse shredded (I just use my cheese grater rather than dirtying up the food processor, but both work)
1 small onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup vermouth
1 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon fresh dill (feel free to add (to taste)
salt
pepper
fresh lemon slice
dill

Steps:

  • Vegetables -- In a medium size sauce pan, heat to medium and add the butter. Then add in the onion, garlic and saute 1-2 minutes. Add in the zucchini and cook just another minute until the zucchini begins to slightly soften. It only takes a minute or less. Remove the vegetables immediately to a bowl and cover to keep them warm.
  • Scallops and Shrimp -- Add the wine and vermouth to the same pan and bring to a light boil (medium / medium high heat). Add the shrimp and scallops and cook 1-2 minutes. Once the shrimp begin to turn pink and curl immediately take off the heat and use a slotted spoon and remove the shrimp and scallops to the bowl with the zucchini and onion. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Sauce -- Return the pan back to stove and add the cream to wine and vermouth sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer about 10-12 minutes until reduced by half. This is the perfect time to cook your pasta. Once the sauce is finished, remove from the heat and add in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Add the sauce to the bowl with the vegetables and seafood and toss well. The sauce will heat everything back up.
  • Pasta -- As the sauce cooks, make your pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
  • Finish -- In a large serving bowl or serving platter, toss the pasta with the seafood sauce. Season with the dill, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve -- Garnish with some fresh dill and lemon slices. Serve some crusty bread and if you want some fresh greens for a salad. ENJOY!

SHRIMP PASTA WITH TOMATOES, LEMON AND SPINACH RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Shrimp Pasta with Tomatoes, Lemon and Spinach Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by LKovac

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound extra large shrimp, thawed, peeled and deveined
2 tsp lemon zest, divided
1 pinch crushed red pepper
1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1 sprig fresh oregano, leaves removed and chopped
2 basil leaves, torn
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cups baby spinach
2 Tbs. lemon juice (or more!)
1/2 pound angel hair pasta
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • On a plate, toss the shrimp with the crushed red pepper, half the lemon zest, chopped herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it sit while you start the rest. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the garlic and bloom 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes along the remaining lemon zest. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and saute for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear on one side for 2 minutes. Flip and sear another minute, or until shrimp is cooked through. Keep tossing the tomatoes just a little bit. In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the angel hair until al dente, maybe 5 minutes. Drain all but about 1/2 cup of the pasta water and toss with the shrimp and tomato mixture, along with the spinach. Squeeze a lot of lemon juice right in. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Add as much pasta water as you want to create a thin, glorious sauce. Serve it with more lemon juice, crusty bread and for heaven's sake, fresh parmesan cheese. *out of control

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality pasta. A good quality pasta will hold its shape and not get mushy. Look for pasta that is made from durum wheat.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a brighter flavor than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the pasta.
  • Add the spinach at the end of cooking. Spinach wilts quickly, so add it to the pasta towards the end of cooking. This will help to preserve its color and flavor.
  • Season the pasta to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a grating of Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Shrimp spinach pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables. Plus, it's delicious! So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying meal, give shrimp spinach pasta a try.
