HERB AND LEMON SAUCE FOR SHRIMP AND PASTA



Herb and Lemon Sauce for Shrimp and Pasta image

Very yummy and spicy. Lower the amount of oregano and basil to reduce spiciness, and use less red pepper flakes to lower the heat. To ease cooking and prevent burning or overcooking, have all the ingredients chopped and prepared in separate bowls for quick addition to the skillet. I serve this with steamed broccoli and garlic bread.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter
1 large lemon, juice and zest of, grated (need 1/4 cup lemon juice)
6 large garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 green onions, both white and green portions finely chopped
salt
fresh ground black pepper (lots!)
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3/4 lb pasta (I prefer angel hair in this recipe)

  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet (I love making this in my wok!). Add lemon zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil and oregano; saute over medium heat 2 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and saute until opaque, about 4 minutes. Note that shrimp should almost be fully cooked at this stage, but not completely, so don't overcook this step or shrimp will be tough.
  • Add parsley, green onions, salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute longer.
  • Stir in lemon juice and cook another minute, then add the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese; toss well and serve immediately.
  • Serve with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.

SHRIMP LINGUINE WITH HERBS, CORN AND ARUGULA



Shrimp Linguine With Herbs, Corn and Arugula image

The beauty of this pasta lies in its ease: Combine fresh, seasonal ingredients and let them shine. Here, shrimp is sautéed in butter until just cooked through, then set aside while the rest of the dish comes together. Peppery arugula, sweet corn and an abundance of fresh herbs round out this easy-to-assemble dinner, which is perfect after a long day at the beach or even just the office. Seared scallops would work well in place of shrimp, or you could try a combination of the two. Herbs, too, are up to you: Basil screams summer, but tarragon and Italian parsley would also be nice. White wine is used to make a light sauce for the pasta; you know what to do with any extra.

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
12 ounces linguine or spaghetti
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed, if you prefer
Black pepper
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 3 ears)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
8 ounces baby arugula, spinach or other tender greens
2 cups loosely packed, roughly chopped tender herbs, such as basil and mint
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until it is just short of al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, season the shrimp well with salt and pepper. Melt half the butter in a deep 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the corn to the pan and season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute.
  • Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until it is reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Add the arugula by the handful, stirring well between each addition, until wilted, adding some of the reserved pasta water as needed. Add the remaining butter and the shrimp to the pasta and toss until the butter is melted and everything is coated with sauce. Add more pasta water as needed.

LINGUINE WITH SHRIMP AND LEMON-PISTACHIO BREAD CRUMBS



Linguine With Shrimp and Lemon-Pistachio Bread Crumbs image

Pangrattato, or bread crumbs in Italian, is the secret star of this dish. When mixed with sweet pistachios, bright lemon zest and fresh mint, it makes for a crunchy, flavorful topping that pairs well with garlicky shrimp and linguine. The citrus and herbs provide welcome complexity to an otherwise simple dish. Serve with a shaved vegetable salad of fennel, radishes and Parmesan.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Kosher salt
1 pound linguine
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 cup chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley
1/2 lemon, for serving
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons raw pistachios, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest, from 1 lemon
3 tablespoons finely chopped mint or Italian parsley
Flaky salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until it is just short of al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the bread crumbs: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet with sides over medium-low heat, add the panko bread crumbs, and toast, stirring frequently, until golden, about 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the crumbs to a small bowl and toss together with the pistachios, lemon zest and mint and season with flaky salt. Set aside. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Season the shrimp well with salt and pepper. In the skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat, add the shrimp and sauté until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes a side. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Stir in the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook for 1 more minute, making sure the garlic doesn't burn.
  • Add the chicken stock, raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan and cook until reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the butter and cook until it's melted and the sauce becomes emulsified.
  • Turn the heat to low, add the pasta, shrimp and parsley to the skillet and toss until glossy with sauce. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen up the sauce. Top with half the bread crumbs and a good squeeze of lemon. Serve in bowls and pass the remaining bread crumbs at the table. Drizzle with additional olive oil and season with flaky salt, if desired.

SPICY SHRIMP MASALA



Spicy Shrimp Masala image

Black pepper, garam masala, Thai green chiles and Kashmiri red chile powder make this shrimp masala a multi-layered delight of spices - fiery and smoldering simultaneously - while lemon juice and cilantro add brightness and bring some relief. In coastal cities of South Asia like Karachi and states like Goa, this preparation is typical and perfectly suited for crunchy, sweet shrimp. That such complexity comes together in 30 minutes feels like a small miracle.

Provided by Zainab Shah

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup ghee or neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger paste or freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic paste or freshly grated garlic
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 to 3 Thai green chiles, finely chopped
5 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup coconut milk, stirred (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Roti or pita, for serving

Steps:

  • Pat shrimp dry, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
  • Heat ghee over medium heat in a wok or large (12-inch) frying pan until it has melted, about 30 seconds. Add ginger, garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add chile powder, cumin, turmeric and Thai green chiles. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and start to stick to the wok, about 15 minutes. Add coconut milk if you like it saucy.
  • Add shrimp. Stir so that shrimp are evenly coated, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally so the shrimp cook evenly, until the shrimp turn pink and appear firm, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, sprinkle with lemon juice, garam masala, cilantro and remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper. Serve with roti, store-bought pita or by itself.

Tips:

  • When choosing shrimp, opt for fresh or frozen shrimp that is deveined and peeled.
  • To save time, buy pre-cooked shrimp and simply thaw them before using.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan to cook the shrimp to prevent overcrowding.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Add the shrimp to the pasta towards the end of the cooking time to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Use a flavorful broth to cook the pasta, such as chicken or vegetable broth.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to the pasta, such as broccoli, zucchini, or tomatoes.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives.
