This is always a hit. The best part is how fast you can whip it up! You could just buy roasted tomatoes in a jar, but I think roasting them yourself gives the dish a very fresh, deep flavor.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
¾ pound Roma (plum) tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 teaspoons olive oil, or more to taste
salt and ground pepper to taste
1 pound butter, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons grated red onion
6 cloves garlic, or more to taste, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil, divided
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
10 fresh mushrooms, quartered
2 teaspoons garlic powder
¼ cup lemon juice
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Arrange tomato halves onto prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes; season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast tomatoes in preheated oven until edges are crisp, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool; cut into small chunks.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes; drain. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and half the basil in the hot butter until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir shrimp, tomato chunks, mushrooms, and garlic powder into the onion mixture. Increase heat to medium-low and cook and stir until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 6 minutes.
  • Pour shrimp mixture over the angel hair pasta; top with Parmesan cheese and lemon juice and toss to coat pasta completely. Garnish with remaining basil.

BABY SHRIMP SCAMPI AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA (RACHAEL RAY)



Baby Shrimp Scampi and Angel Hair Pasta (Rachael Ray) image

Ok...how about dinner in like...15 minutes. Don't forget the bag of salad (ya just gotta eat green things!) Now for my notes on this one -- I didn't have a microplane at the time so instead of the zest, I just squeezed juice from a fresh lemon. I didn't have white wine either, but I did have some sherry and that came out ok too! By the way, here's a rule of thumb when adding wines to food -- if you wouldn't drink it out of a glass, don't put it in your food! Finally, I added about a teaspoon of finely chopped garlic cuz Emeril says it's good for ya. Deeeeeeeeeeee-lish!!!

  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it turns pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is the key to a flavorful shrimp scampi. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat: If you like a little spice, add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce. You can also add some chopped fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Shrimp scampi is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will continue to cook if it sits for too long, so enjoy it while it's hot and fresh.
