Tomato Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles image

Bright, colorful vegetable zoodle (zucchini spirals) tomato sauce dish that is simple and packed with flavor and shrimp... (of course). You most likely keep these ingredients in your pantry and kitchen all the time. I like hot and spicy foods, so I add that dash of Frank's RedHot® sauce to give the dish a little kick... yes, it's a Texas "thang".

Tagliatelle with Shrimp, Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating
3 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups heirloom cherry tomatoes, assorted sizes and colors
2 small zucchini, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 pound All-Purpose Pasta Dough, cut into tagliatelle shape, recipe follows
6 to 8 medium shrimp, shelled, deveined and heads removed
High-quality extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Fresh oregano leaves, for garnish
1 pound all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
4 whole eggs, plus 1 yolk
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium heat.
  • Coat a large, wide pot set over medium-high heat with olive oil. Toss in the garlic and crushed red pepper. When the garlic becomes golden and very aromatic, remove from the pan and discard. Toss in the tomatoes, zucchini and onions and roll them around in the oil. Add 1 cup of the stock and season with salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the tomatoes start to burst and give off their juices, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup more stock if the liquid level is very low.
  • Drop the tagliatelle into the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the shrimp into the pot with the tomatoes and stir to combine. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and then toss the pasta immediately into the pot with the tomato mixture. Add in the reserved cooking water, if needed. Toss vigorously to combine. Remove from the heat and drizzle some finishing oil over the top, then add the Parmesan and a sprinkling of fresh oregano to garnish. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately.
  • Place the flour on a clean dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour about 8-inches wide (bigger is definitely better here). Crack all of the eggs and the yolk into the hole and add the olive oil, a pinch of salt and 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
  • Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, water and salt. Then begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture; be careful not to break the sides of the well or the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place when the sides of the well are broken, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together as a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading.
  • When kneading it is VERY important to put your body weight into it, get on top of the dough to really stretch, but not to tear, the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader and 10 to 15 minutes for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it, you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun!
  • When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let rest for at least 1 hour. If using immediately, do not refrigerate.
  • To roll out the pasta, you need to run the dough through a pasta roller a bunch of times to get it long and thin. To start, cut off about a quarter of the dough, keeping the rest wrapped up so it doesn't dry out. Squish the dough to flatten it. Run the dough through the pasta roller starting on the widest setting, number 1. Then dust the dough with flour, fold it into thirds, and put the dough through this setting two more times. If the dough ever feels sticky or tacky, dust with flour. Now adjust the setting to number 2 and repeat the process again, changing the setting each time until the dough reaches the desired thickness. Once the dough is rolled out, be sure to keep the pasta covered so it doesn't dry out. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, then cut the dough to the desires pasta shape.

SHRIMP AND ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES



Shrimp and Zucchini and Tomatoes image

This Weight Watcher recipe was prepared by Ed Daly for our January 2014 meeting.

Provided by Club Recipes

Categories     Seafood

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 lb uncooked large shrimp, peeled and devined
1 c grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini in a single layer; increase heat to high and cook until bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Flip zucchini and cook until golden on other side, about 2 minutes more. Remove zucchini to a plate with a slotted spoon. Heat remaining teaspoon oil in same skillet. Add shrimp; sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper; sauté until shrimp are almost just cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic and water; sauté, stirring to loosen bits from bottom of pan, until shrimp are cooked through and tomatoes are softened, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Return zucchini to skillet; toss and serve. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving. Notes Try this with fresh basil instead of, or in addition to, the oregano (just stir it in right at the end). Grate some lemon zest over top and/or sprinkle with fresh lemon juice, if desired.
  • 2. Keep a bag of large frozen shrimp on hand for this quick and easy sautéed meal. The juices from the tomatoes add a wonderful flavor to the sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Choose medium sized shrimp for this recipe.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp or they will become tough.
  • If you do not have dry white wine, you can use a cup of chicken broth.
  • Serve the shrimp with zucchini, tomatoes, and a crusty bread.

Conclusion:

This easy and delicious shrimp dish is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with white wine, lemon juice, and herbs. The zucchini and tomatoes add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
