42 oz canned diced tomato, drained of excess water

20-MINUTE INSTANT POT SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA



20-Minute Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi Pasta image

The genius of this recipe is that all of the ingredients--wine, garlic, shrimp -- even the pasta -- cook together in one pot. Just make sure to use shrimp that's still frozen or they will overcook. You don't have to serve garlic bread with the dish, but there's nothing better for sopping up all that delicious buttery sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 scallions, sliced
12 ounces thin spaghetti, broken in half
1 1/2 pounds frozen peeled and deveined shrimp
Garlic bread, for serving, optional
Green salad, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Add the butter, olive oil and garlic to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® multi-cooker and set to high saute (see Cook's Note). Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and zest, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil and let simmer 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, then add half of the pasta all in one direction and then the other half of the pasta in a criss-cross fashion. Top with the shrimp and half of the scallions.
  • Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 minute. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 5 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
  • Using tongs, toss the pasta to evenly coat with the sauce and break up any clumps. Top with the remaining scallions and serve with salad and garlic bread if using.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
  • Clean the Shrimp Properly: Devein and peel the shrimp before cooking. This will remove any grit or sand from the shrimp and make them more enjoyable to eat.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in shrimp scampi, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a rich flavor and aroma.
  • Add Garlic and Herbs: Garlic and herbs are essential for flavoring shrimp scampi. Use fresh garlic and herbs whenever possible. Dried garlic and herbs can also be used, but they won't have as much flavor.
  • Use a Good Quality White Wine: White wine is another key ingredient in shrimp scampi. Use a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own. Avoid using sweet or dessert wines.
  • Serve Immediately: Shrimp scampi is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will start to toughen up if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, shrimp scampi is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
