Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
1 pound frozen peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp (16/20)
2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
1/2 cup white wine
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup prepared pesto
2 lemons, both zested and 1 sliced, for garnish
Freshly ground black pepper
One 17.5-ounce package gnocchi
2 cups frozen peas
6 to 8 fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
  • Lightly rinse the shrimp to help separate them and remove any large pieces of ice. Shake off any excess water, then toss the shrimp with the lemon pepper seasoning.
  • Add the shrimp to the hot oil, using tongs to move into a single layer. Cover and let cook until the shrimp start to defrost and turn pink, about 2 minutes. Uncover, flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, flipping for the final minute. Check that the shrimp are pink all over, then remove to a plate.
  • Deglaze the skillet with the wine, scraping the bottom. Add the cream, mascarpone, pesto, lemon zest and good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering for 1 to 2 minutes and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. When the gnocchi are ready, they will begin to float.
  • Drain the gnocchi and add to the sauce along with the frozen peas and the shrimp with any juices. Stir and heat through until the sauce has thickened a little more and everything is combined, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with the basil and lemon slices.

PASTA ALLA PAMELA WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS



Pasta alla Pamela with Shrimp and Peas image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound medium shrimp (U41-50), shelled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Salt liberally.
  • In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the baking soda and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes (this keeps the shrimp moist with a nice crust on the outside).
  • Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the oil to the skillet, then arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the oil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until a nice crust is formed, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, then add the butter and garlic. Cook gently until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add the wine to deglaze and let simmer for 1 more minute. Add the peas and pasta. Toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper. Add a generous amount of Parmesan and toss again, adding the pasta water as necessary.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Garnish with more Parmesan and the parsley. Serve.
