Provided by Julia Della Croce

Categories     Garlic     Sauté     Low/No Sugar     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Shrimp

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped or passed through a garlic press
pinch of dried red-pepper flakes, or 1 or 2 whole dried peperoncini (hot peppers)
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Remove the dark intestinal veins from the shrimp. As you do, make each cut deep enough to butterfly the shrimp, so each can be opened flat like a book. Fill a bowl with ice water, add the sea salt and the butterflied shrimp, and let stand for 15 minutes to bring out some of the briny flavor of the shellfish. (Removing their shells robs the shrimp of some of their natural flavor.) Drain and dry thoroughly with a cotton kitchen towel.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and hot pepper and sauté gently until the garlic softens but is not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, placing them opened flat on the bottom of the pan so they do not curl too much. Sauté, turning once, until they are opaque, about 2 minutes on each side. Add the wine, stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds to allow alcohol to evaporate. Remove and discard the whole peppers, if using. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Provided by threeovens

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb capellini, cooked al dente in salted water (angel hair)
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup jarred artichoke, drained
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or saute pan over medium high heat and add the olive oil, shrimp and garlic; cook, stirring frequently until the shrimp just turns opaque, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, and artichokes and keep cooking until the mushrooms are softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Toss with pasta and garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: Opt for dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for the best flavor and results.
  • Use good-quality shrimp: Fresh or frozen shrimp can be used, but make sure they are deveined and cleaned properly.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are just opaque and pink, but not overcooked to avoid becoming tough and rubbery.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Add the chocolate sauce at the end: The chocolate sauce should be added to the shrimp just before serving to prevent it from curdling.
