Linguine with Shrimp & Chorizo image

Provided by Allison Ehri Kreitler

Categories     Lunch

Yield four to six.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil; more as needed
6 oz. chorizo, sliced 1/8 inch thick (1-1/3 cups)
1 lb. large shrimp (31 to 40 count), peeled and deveined
1 small onion, finely diced
4 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 26-oz. box Pomi brand chopped tomatoes (or 2 14-oz. cans petite-cut diced tomatoes)
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb. dried thin linguine
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until it curls up and just begins to turn pink, about 2 minutes; don't cook it through. Off the heat, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo and shrimp to a bowl.
  • Pour off all but 2 Tbs. of the fat from the skillet (or add more oil so you have 2 Tbs. fat in the pan) and set the skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices and the pepper flakes, scraping the bottom of the pan, and simmer briskly for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Meanwhile, cook the linguine in the boiling water until barely al dente, 4 to 6 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta in a colander.
  • Add the shrimp and chorizo to the sauce and simmer until the shrimp is just cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with salt. Toss the pasta, sauce, and parsley in the pasta pot over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. The sauce should just coat the pasta; add some of the pasta water to moisten if necessary. Drizzle each serving with a little oil.

SPECIAL SEAFOOD & SAFFRON PASTA



Special seafood & saffron pasta image

Mussels, scallops and king prawns make this shellfish supper for two a real treat - it works just as well with spaghetti or linguini

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 firm tomatoes
200g fusilli lunghi or another long, thin pasta shape
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves , thinly sliced
100g king prawn , deveined
100g scallop , halved if very large
300g mussel , shells cleaned
150ml white wine
good pinch saffron , mixed with 3 tbsp hot water
zest 1 lemon , plus juice ½
4 tbsp single cream
small pack parsley , chopped
2 tbsp pine nuts , toased

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and have a bowl of cold water to hand. Cut a small cross in the base of each tomato and add to the hot water, then after 15 secs, scoop out with a slotted spoon (but keep the water boiling for the pasta) and plunge into the cold water. Leave the tomatoes to cool for 30 secs, then remove. Use a small sharp knife to peel away the skin, starting at the base where you made the cross. Cut each tomato into quarters then cut out and discard the seeds and any membrane. Cut into small dice, then set aside.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 2 mins less than it says on the pack. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan (you'll need to use one with a lid) and add the garlic, sizzle for 2 mins until just starting to turn golden, then push to one side of the pan. Increase the heat and add the prawns and scallops, fry for 1-2 mins until the prawns are pink and the scallops are just turning golden, then scoop out of the pan and set aside on a plate. Add the mussels, white wine, saffron (with its soaking liquid) and some seasoning. Cover the pan with a lid and leave to steam for 3 mins until the mussels open (discard any which stay closed).
  • Add the lemon zest and juice and the cream to the sauce and check the seasoning. Drain the pasta and add this too, along with the prawns, scallops and diced tomato. Toss everything together, and bubble for another 2 mins, or until the pasta has absorbed some of the sauce and is cooked through. Scatter with parsley and pine nuts and give everything a final toss together.

SEAFOOD IN SAFFRON BROTH



Seafood in Saffron Broth image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Fish     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Mussel     Saffron     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 fennel bulb (sometimes called anise)
1 small onion
1 large plum tomato
1 large garlic clove
1/2 pound mussels (preferably cultivated)
1/4 pound large shrimp (about 7)
a 1/2-pound piece skinless scrod or halibut
1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups fish stock or low-salt chicken broth
Garnish: lemon wedges
Accompaniment: crusty bread

Steps:

  • Trim fennel stalks flush with bulb, discarding stalks. Finely chop fennel and onion. Seed tomato and finely chop. Mince garlic. Scrub mussels well and remove beards. Shell shrimp and devein. Cut scrod into 1-inch pieces. Stir saffron into wine.
  • In a 4-quart kettle cook fennel and onion in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
