Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread flakes)
8 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds large (16 to 20-count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced red onion (1 large)
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2/3 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
Arrabbiata sauce, homemade, or 1 (24-ounce) jar Rao's
1 pound linguine, such as De Cecco

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium (10 to 11-inch) sauté pan over medium heat. Add the panko and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper and set aside.
  • Place the shrimp on a plate and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4 minutes, until it begins to soften. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for one minute. Add the shrimp in one layer and sauté for one minute on each side, until they start to turn pink but are not cooked through. Add the wine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce the liquid. Stir in the arrabbiata sauce and heat until it simmers. Stir in the remaining 6 tablespoons of parsley with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and turn off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, fill a very large pot with water, add 2 tablespoons salt, and bring to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the directions on the package for al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta water, drain the pasta, and add it to the sauce. Toss the pasta, sauce, and shrimp together with tongs or big spoons and allow it to simmer for one minute for the pasta to absorb the sauce, adding enough pasta water to make a nice sauce and coat the pasta. Transfer to a large, shallow serving bowl, sprinkle with the toasted panko, and serve hot.

SHRIMP IN CHIPOTLE SAUCE



Shrimp in Chipotle Sauce image

A sauce just spicy enough to make your mouth tingle enveloping tender shrimp- this is fairly quick to prepare if you use pre- peeled shrimp. This recipe includes Cola which adds flavor as well as a touch of sweetness. The sauce is good spooned over white rice. I would not suggest using diet cola for this recipe. Adapted From William Sonoma Mexican.

Categories     Mexican

Time 30m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
shrimp
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
4 ripe tomatoes, about 1 1/2 lbs. chopped or 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans each chopped tomatoes, drained
2 canned chipotle chiles, en adobo with 1 tablespoon sauce
1/2 cup Coca-Cola or 1/2 cup Pepsi
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together the garlic, lme juice, and sea salt and pepper to taste. Add the shrimp and toss until thoroughly coated. Let marinate while preparing the sauce, at least 5 minutes.
  • In a heavy frying pan or cazuela over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and saute until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring constantly, just until the color deepens, less than 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomato mixture to a blender, allowing any excess oil to drip back into the pan. Reserve th oil in the pan. Add the chiles an dsauce, cola, and oregano to the blender. Process until you get a textured sauce.
  • Remove the shrimp from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Return the pan with the reserved oil to medium-high heat and heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add half of the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 2 minutes. Using the slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and add them to the plate.
  • Return the still-hot pan to medium-high heat and add the sauce. Fry, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the flavors deepen, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes longer just to heat through. Divide the shrimp evenly among warmed individual plates. Spoon some of the remaining chipotle sauce over each serving and serve at once.

FIDEO CON CAMARONES (SEARED SHRIMP WITH FIDEO)



Fideo con Camarones (Seared Shrimp with Fideo) image

This dish is an homage to the amazing shrimp on the Pacific coast of Mexico and more specifically, Mazatlán. Every morning around 6:30, the shrimp boats come in and beautiful shrimp arrive at the markets. Pairing the sweet shrimp with the fruity but tart tomatillo balances the dish with the nuttiness of the toasted pasta and the heat of the serrano.
