CREAMY PESTO SHRIMP PASTA



Creamy Pesto Shrimp Pasta image

Creamy pesto pasta with shrimp and mushrooms is a beautifully flavorful dinner. Perfect romantic dinner recipe and ready in 30 minutes.

Provided by Erica

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
8 oz sliced white button mushrooms
1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined (see Notes))
kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup prepared basil pesto
1 9 oz package fresh pasta such as linguine or fettuccine
garnish: fresh chopped basil and parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
  • Once hot, add the mushrooms, toss in the oil, and saute tossing occasionally, until mushrooms are nicely browned.
  • Transfer browned mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
  • Keep the skillet off the heat to cool a bit while you prepare the shrimp.
  • Toss the prepared (peeled and deveined) shrimp in a couple pinches salt and pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet used for the mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, turning the shrimp once, until shrimp are opaque and just barely cooked through.
  • Transfer the shrimp to the plate with the mushrooms and set aside.
  • Put the same skillet used above over high heat.
  • Deglaze the pan by adding the wine and simmer until the wine is reduced by half.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the cream. Simmer gently, stirring regularly, until slightly thickened.
  • Turn off the heat and add the cheese and pesto. Taste for seasoning, and add salt to your taste (at least 1/2 tsp because this will season the pasta once added). Sauce will continue to thicken a bit more.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and add the pasta to the sauce along with the shrimp and mushrooms and toss well.
  • Garnish with basil and more parmesan and serve.

Categories     Pasta     Pescatarian     Weeknight Dinners     Kid-Friendly     Easy     Full Meal     Beginner     Egg-Free     Soy-Free     Food Processor     Fish-Free     Peanut-Free     Sugar-Free     Stove

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
2 cup Fresh Basil Leaf
3 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Walnut
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 pound Shrimp
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
8 ounce Penne Pasta
4 cup Vegetable Stock
1 cup Cherry Tomato

Steps:

  • In a food processor, add Fresh Baby Spinach (4 cup), Fresh Basil Leaf (2 cup), Garlic (3 clove), Walnut (1/2 cup), Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup), and Kosher Salt (1/2 teaspoon). Process pesto by pulsing 5 to 7 times to help break down the leaves and garlic.
  • Turn the food processor to low speed. As it's running, slowly drizzle in Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 cup) until smooth with some smaller pieces remaining, about 10 seconds from start to finish. Season to taste with salt. Transfer pesto to a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine Shrimp (1 pound), Kosher Salt (1/2 teaspoon), and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
  • Heat a large high sided skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1 tablespoon). Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook shrimp until it is opaque and pink in color, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a clean plate.
  • Add Penne Pasta (8 ounce) and Vegetable Stock (4 cup) to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Cook and frequently stir until the pasta is tender, and only a small amount of the liquid remains to make a light sauce, about 15 to 17 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Add ½ cup of the pesto sauce and gently stir to combine with the pasta. Add more to taste, or save to use for another dish. Add shrimp back to the pan, toss to combine.
  • Add the Cherry Tomato (1 cup) evenly over the pasta, and garnish with additional basil leaves, chopped walnuts, and parmesan cheese if desired. Portion out the shrimp pesto pasta into bowls and serve immediately.

ONE PAN PASTA WITH CREAMY SHRIMP AND PESTO SAUCE



One Pan Pasta With Creamy Shrimp and Pesto Sauce image

This recipe from Sunset uses only one pan. Yup, a single pan! The secret is to use frozen cooked shrimp and prepared pesto. When I make it, I thaw the shrimp by putting them in the same colander I am going to use for the pasta. Then I pour the pasta and its boiling water over the shrimp, and--voila--thawed shrimp! The recipe is very pesto-y, so, if you like, feel free to cut down on the pesto and use more sun-dried tomatoes. Also, use whatever pasta shape you like (we prefer long noodles, for instance).

Provided by CorriePDX

Categories     Penne

Time 25m

Yield 3 serving(s)

1/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped drained sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a 4- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 3 quarts water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender to bite, 7 to 12 minutes. Drain and return to pan.
  • Add shrimp, pesto, cream, broth, and dried tomatoes to pasta; stir over medium heat until hot and evenly incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
