TUXEDO BOW-TIE PASTA WITH SHRIMP



Tuxedo Bow-Tie Pasta with Shrimp image

Cuttlefish ink gives these handmade bow-ties a dramatic look and a rich, briny flavor that won't overwhelm the shrimp. Invest your time in making and shaping the dough, because the citrusy sauce is quick to come together and dresses this dish up with a bright acidity.

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups "00" flour, plus more for dusting
3 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon cuttlefish ink (sometimes labeled "squid ink")
Semolina flour, for dusting
1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and halved lengthwise, shells reserved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 teaspoons)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Dough: Stir together 1 cup "00" flour, 2 teaspoons warm water, and half of eggs (about 1/4 cup) in a medium bowl until a ragged dough forms (if too dry, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time). Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • In another medium bowl, vigorously whisk remaining half of eggs with cuttlefish ink and 1 teaspoon warm water to thoroughly combine. Stir in remaining 1 cup flour to bowl with cuttlefish mixture and mix until a ragged dough forms (if too dry, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time). Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Form each dough into a square disk, tightly wrap in plastic, and let stand 1 hour.
  • Unwrap both doughs; place cuttlefish-ink dough on top of plain dough. On a floured surface, roll the stack of dough out to an 18-by-20-inch rectangle. Cut into 1-inch-wide strips, then crosswise into 2-inch-long rectangles. Keep cut pasta covered with plastic wrap while you work.
  • Working one at a time, pinch middle of each pasta rectangle with 2 fingers to create a bow-tie shape; transfer to a rimmed baking sheet generously dusted with semolina.
  • Shrimp Sauce: In a small saucepan, bring shrimp shells and 2 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes; strain and discard shells. Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook until sizzling and fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Stir in tomato paste; cook until caramelized, about 1 minute. Add shrimp broth and both citrus juices. Simmer until sauce is thickened and reduced to approximately 3/4 cup, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, 7 to 9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain. Add pasta and 1/4 cup pasta water to sauce and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce clings evenly to pasta, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add shrimp, stirring just until cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat. If pasta appears dry, right before serving stir in more pasta water a little at a time, just until sauce clings evenly to pasta again. Transfer to bowls, drizzle with oil, and serve.

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH BOW TIE PASTA



Lemon-Garlic Shrimp With Bow Tie Pasta image

This is my favorite way to make shrimp because using the marinade in the sauce carries the shrimp flavor through the entire dish. Wine, garlic and lemon are the main flavors, but with a slight kick. You can skip flouring the shrimp if you want, and go straight to frying them, but you might want to thicken your sauce with a little cornstarch. I like serving these with a nice juicy, grilled rib-eye, but it could also be a main dish. Prep time includes time to marinate shrimp.

1/4 cup dry white wine or 1/4 cup chicken broth
1 lemons or 1 lime, juice and zest of

1/2 tablespoon paprika
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
reserved shrimp marinade
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup whole milk

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Tuxedo bow-tie pasta is a great option for this recipe because it holds the sauce well and looks elegant on the plate. However, you can also use other types of short pasta, such as penne or rotini.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your dish the best flavor. However, you can also use frozen shrimp if that's all you have on hand. Just be sure to thaw the shrimp completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a good quality marinara sauce and add plenty of fresh herbs and spices.

Conclusion:

Tuxedo bow-tie pasta with shrimp is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste by choosing different types of pasta, shrimp, and sauce. So next time you're looking for a special dish to impress your guests, give tuxedo bow-tie pasta with shrimp a try.
