Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound medium shrimp (U41-50), shelled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted

Steps:

  • Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Salt liberally.
  • In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the baking soda and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes (this keeps the shrimp moist with a nice crust on the outside).

  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the oil to the skillet, then arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the oil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until a nice crust is formed, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, then add the butter and garlic. Cook gently until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add the wine to deglaze and let simmer for 1 more minute. Add the peas and pasta. Toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper.

SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS FETTUCCINE



Shrimp and Asparagus Fettuccine image

This is a family favorite! Very simple ingredients and full of robust flavor. It's a perfect dish for an everyday meal or to serve to company.

Provided by Dewski

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
¾ cup olive oil, or more if needed
6 cloves garlic, pressed
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound dry fettuccine pasta
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or to taste
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or more if desired

Steps:

  • Separate the asparagus tips from the rest of the cut pieces, and set the tips aside. Heat 3/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Cook and stir the garlic in the hot oil until it begins to turn brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cut pieces of asparagus (not the tips), and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir the asparagus until tender but still bright green, about 10 minutes, then add the asparagus tips. Cook and stir for 5 more minutes.
  • While the asparagus is cooking, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the fettuccine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, return to the pot, and drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the pasta.
  • Remove the asparagus from the skillet with a slotted spoon, leaving oil in skillet, and set the asparagus aside. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, and place in the hot skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the seafood seasoning, and cook and stir the shrimp until they are pink and no longer translucent. Return the asparagus to the skillet, and cook the shrimp and asparagus until thoroughly heated, 2 to 3 more minutes.
  • Stir the shrimp and asparagus into the cooked fettuccine, and toss with shredded Parmesan cheese. The olive oil serves as the sauce, so add more as needed to generously coat the pasta, shrimp and asparagus.

PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Pasta with shrimp and asparagus Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-168605

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 Shrimp
1 bunch of Asparagus sliced on an angle
1 1/2 cups of orecchiette Pasta
3 Shallots sliced
3 Green onions sliced on an angle
1/2 Yellow onion diced small
2 Lemons juiced
1/2 cup White wine
1/2 stick of butter
2 tablespoons Olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large pot, add 4 quarts of water. Bring the water to a boil and add two large chef pinches of salt (around ½ tablespoon). Next, cook the pasta to al dente and remove the water from the pasta. Set aside. In a large sauté pan, heat butter and olive oil. When the butter has melted, add sliced shallots to the pan and cook them until they're soft and aromatic. Then, sauté the asparagus with the shallots until the asparagus are soft. Add the pasta a little bit at a time and mix until the pasta is completely incorporated. In another sauté pan add butter and olive oil. When the butter is completely melted add the onions to the pan, season with salt/pepper and sauté them until they are aromatic, soft and transparent. Next, add the shrimp to the pan and season them with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for a few minutes and then add white wine (add the wine off the fire and then put the pan back on). Keep the heat at a medium for 1-2 minutes until the alcohol has cooked out and then add the lemon juice and turn the fire to a medium high. Finally, bring the liquid to a simmer and finish cooking the shrimp for 2 more minutes, add green onion and then pour the shrimp and liquid mixture over the pasta. Toss everything together and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and asparagus. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To save time, you can cook the shrimp and asparagus ahead of time. Just store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the pasta.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
  • To make the sauce creamier, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or sour cream.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Serve the pasta with a side of crusty bread or garlic bread.

Conclusion:

This pasta dish is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp and asparagus. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious pasta recipe, give this one a try.
