Provided by Steph Loaiza

Categories     Main Course

Time 34m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound thin spaghetti (or angel hair pasta)
1 pound uncooked jumbo shrimp ((peeled, deveined, tails removed and fully thawed))
8 Tablespoons butter (divided)
6 garlic cloves (minced)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon white vinegar
½ lemon (juiced)
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup fresh asparagus (cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 cup Roma tomatoes (diced)
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over medium-high heat.
  • Then, in a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter. Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally until pink; about 2 minutes per side (be careful not to overcook the shrimp! You will want to cook until the shrimp have barely turned pink on all sides and it happens fast!). Remove the shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the pasta into the pot of boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Drain, saving 1/2 cup of the pasta water, and set the pasta aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. In the same skillet used to cooked the shrimp, add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute the garlic for about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and vinegar.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then lower the heat. Simmer for 5-8 minutes until the chicken broth has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and asparagus and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to the sauce along with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, then stir to combine.
  • Return the shrimp to the skillet, along with the diced tomatoes and cooked pasta. Using tongs, lightly toss the pasta, shrimp and veggies in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to make sure that everything is coated evenly with sauce. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken or shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken or shrimp until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay works well.
  • Don't boil the sauce. Bring it to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low.
  • Add the cooked chicken or shrimp to the sauce and simmer for a few minutes to heat through.
  • Serve the chicken or shrimp scampi over pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
