Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
Coarse salt, about 1 teaspoon
2 tablespoons (a couple of generous drizzles) extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (4 turns around the pan in a light stream) extra-virgin olive oil
1 (2-ounce) tin anchovy fillets
6 to 8 large cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
Coarse salt
1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente
Tomato and Onion Salad, as an accompaniment
Crusty bread, as an accompaniment
5 medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, gently seeded, and thinly sliced
1 small white skinned onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
A generous drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons
Coarse salt and black pepper
Crusty Bread, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Combine shrimp with next 6 ingredients and toss to coat shrimp evenly.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add half of the shrimp. Cook shrimp 3 minutes until pink and just firm. Remove shrimp to a warm platter and repeat process with remaining shrimp.
  • Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium low. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add anchovies, garlic, and pepper flakes to oil. Break up anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture.
  • Toss spaghetti in the pan with parsley and the garlic oil, then season with a little coarse salt, to your taste. Top servings of garlic and oil spaghetti with spicy shrimp and serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Crusty Bread.
  • Prep your garlic and parsley for aglio olio and set them, as well as drained pasta and remaining ingredients all within arm's reach of your stove top.
  • The aroma will be intense! Cooked anchovies have a salted-nutty (rather than fishy) taste that compliments the garlic as it sweetens and softens.
  • Toss the tomatoes and onions with the chopped parsley, oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand while you prepare dinner, about 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve salad with crusty bread for mopping up juices and oil.

Make and share this Shrimp Linguine in an Olive Oil Based Garlic Sauce recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Tammy K.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 42m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

half lb. linguine
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 1/2 tablespoons mccormick's Italian herb seasoning (Recommend the grinder in glass bottle on medium setting)
1/4 cup white wine (Recommend Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio, but you can choose your preference)
1 lb uncooked peeled & deveined medium shrimp (Raw)

Steps:

  • Boil water in a large pot big enough for the half lb. of linguine noodles.
  • Put your shrimp in bowl and Fill with HOT water enough to cover shrimp COMPLETELY (set to the side).
  • Chop your Oregano and Garlic Cloves and measure out your Italian Herb Seasoning.
  • Set your saucepan on a LOW heat.
  • In your saucepan add first the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  • Then add in your Oregano, Garlic and McCormick's Seasoning.
  • Stir until well mixed. Then add your 1/4 Cup of white wine stirring slowly.
  • Adjust heat to a HIGH Simmer for sauce, stirring occasionally.
  • Your water should be about ready to add the noodles at this point, add them to boiling water now.
  • (If you prefer to leave the tails on your shrimp you may skip this step).
  • At This point your Shrimp should be Unthawed enough to remove the tails.
  • Remove the tails from all shrimp placing them in a fresh bowl as the tails are removed.
  • Add your shrimp into your saucepan and cook until all shrimp are thoroughly cooked. (If you have never cooked raw shrimp before they will be done when there is no longer any Grey color on them and they are red as you would expect cocktail shrimp to be.).
  • Once shrimp are finished cooking remove them from the sauce and place in separate pan or clean bowl to avoid overcooking and set sauce to a VERY LOW SIMMER.
  • Once your Noodles are done cooking Strain them THOROUGHLY and put them back in your pot.
  • Now you may add the Shrimp and Sauce to your Noodles.
  • With everything in the pot set the temp to a Low/Med temp to warm while mixing and stir thoroughly to mix Sauce, Shrimp and Noodles.
  • Serve on a plate in a bowl may garnish with parsley snips or whatever is to your liking.
  • ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Select and Prepare Quality Shrimp: Choose fresh or frozen shrimp that are deveined and peeled. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Opt for high-quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance the flavor of the dish. Its fruity and peppery notes complement the shrimp and garlic.
  • Mince Garlic Finely: Finely minced garlic releases its flavors better and distributes evenly throughout the dish.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt and pepper. Season the shrimp liberally to bring out their natural flavors.
  • Cook Shrimp in Batches: If cooking a large quantity of shrimp, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet prevents the shrimp from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp become tough and rubbery.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra touch of flavor and color.
