Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning (I prefer Pampered Chef)
2 teaspoons sweet Hungarian paprika
2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Pam cooking spray
8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, lemon rind, salt, pepper, and garlic.
  • Add shrimp and toss to coat.
  • Thread the shrimp onto 4 skewers.
  • The original recipe calls for broiling these on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray (2 minutes on each side), however, I prefer to grill them over medium heat until they turn pink (2 to 4 minutes per side).
  • Remove the shrimp from the skewers and arrange over the hot pasta.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley.

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.

Garlicky Shrimp Primavera with Shishito Peppers image

A luscious veggie and shrimp dish with a silky garlic sauce and shishito peppers. Serve with toasted garlic bread.

Provided by Lindsey Krauss

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
5 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 medium yellow squash, halved lengthwise and sliced
¾ cup chopped shishito peppers
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ cup frozen green peas
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute less than recommended, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water. Drain pasta and return to the pot.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, being sure not to burn. Add zucchini, yellow squash, shishito peppers, and pepper flakes; saute until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Spread vegetables to the outside of the skillet. Add remaining butter and olive oil to the center of the skillet and increase heat to medium. When butter has melted, add shrimp to the center of the skillet, and peas to the outside. Toss shrimp to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then toss to mix with vegetables. Add reserved 1/4 cup pasta water and bring to a gentle boil, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Add reserved pasta to the pot and gently toss with veggies and shrimp. Taste and add salt if necessary. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

- Fresh is best: Use the freshest shrimp you can find for the best flavor. - Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. - Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help to sear the shrimp and prevent it from sticking. - Season the shrimp well: Garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper are all classic seasonings for shrimp. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste. - Serve immediately: Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

This garlicky Italian-style shrimp recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful garlic and olive oil sauce, and it can be served over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
