Garlic Shrimp Pasta image

A quick and easy garlic shrimp pasta recipe with lemon, fresh or frozen vegetables, and white wine. Delicious, budget-friendly, and healthy!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces whole-wheat linguine
1 pound fresh or frozen raw shrimp (peeled, tails removed (if frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using))
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 shallot (peeled and diced)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (divided (use less if sensitive to spice; 1 teaspoon will have a good kick))
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
24 ounces mixed vegetables ( of your choice, fresh or frozen. If frozen, thaw and drain)
1/4 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc (or substitute low-sodium chicken broth))
Zest and juice of 1 large or 2 small lemons
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus additional as desired)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (plus additional as desired)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, drain remaining water, and then toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 additional minute. Add the shrimp, and then sprinkle with half the amount of red pepper (1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon depending upon your desired spice level), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté, stirring to coat with garlic, just until cooked through (both sides will be pink and opaque), about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add the vegetables and the remaining 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are hot and lightly sautéed, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the white wine and return the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce. Stir in the lemon zest and juice and remove from heat.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet and toss. If the pasta is too dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water. Serve warm, topped with Parmesan and parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, succulent shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used in a pinch, but fresh shrimp will give your pasta dish a much better flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use high-quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good-quality oil that has a nice flavor.
  • Add plenty of garlic. Garlic is another key ingredient in this dish, so don't be shy about adding it. The more garlic, the better!
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes, but you can use any type of vegetables that you like. Some other good options include zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Season the pasta water. Salting the pasta water is an important step that often gets overlooked. It helps to flavor the pasta and make it more delicious.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and oregano add a nice finishing touch to this dish.

Conclusion:
