GARLICKY SHRIMP PASTA



Garlicky Shrimp Pasta image

If you like garlic you will love this! It's a nice and delicious Shrimp/Pasta recipe! Marinate the shrimp while you prepare the remaining ingredients. I usually use Fusilli pasta, also I use the white wine instead of the vermouth. If you prefer to use a garlic press, to mince the garlic that works too. Just be careful not to burn it. Be sure to have some good bread to sop up all the good juices. Adapted from Cooks Illustrated, Nov. 2008 issue. Cook time does not include the marinade time. Hope you enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 medium garlic cloves, PLUS (minced or pressed through garlic press, about 5 teaspoons)
4 medium cloves, smashed
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, each shrimp cut into 3 pieces (21-25)
3 tablespoons olive oil
table salt
1 lb pasta, in short tubular shapes, such as fusilli, campanelle or 1 lb mezze rigatoni pasta
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry vermouth or 1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup clam juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice plus 1 lemon, cut into wedges
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toss 2 teaspoons minced garlic, shrimp, tablespoon oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Let shrimp marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Heat 4 smashed garlic cloves and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is light golden brown, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and use slotted spoon to remove garlic from skillet; discard garlic. Set skillet aside.
  • Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large Dutch oven over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta. Cook until just al dente, then drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water, and transfer pasta back to Dutch oven.
  • While pasta cooks, return skillet with oil to medium heat; add shrimp with marinade to skillet in single layer. Cook shrimp, undisturbed, until oil starts to bubble gently, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir shrimp and continue to cook until almost cooked through, about 1 minute longer.
  • Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to medium bowl. Add remaining 3 teaspoons minced garlic and pepper flakes to skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will add flavor and richness to the dish.
  • Season the shrimp well: Be generous with the salt and pepper when seasoning the shrimp.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini can be added to the dish for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices such as garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme can be used to add flavor and complexity to the dish.
  • Serve immediately: Shrimp and pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked.
