Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, in their shells
Coarse salt
1 head broccoli
1 pound angel-hair pasta
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons ginger, minced

2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Place the shrimps in a large bowl of water and add two tablespoons coarse salt. Refrigerate for one hour or more. The salt will leach out impurities and will help to make the shrimp glossy when cooked.

  • Meanwhile, divide the broccoli into florets and steam until tender. Cut off the stalks. Divide tops in small pieces one-half inch in diameter and put in a heated serving bowl.
  • Put the pasta on to boil and cook until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, stir fry the garlic and ginger and scallions in the oil. Add the shrimp and pepper flakes and stir-fry for one minute, only until pink.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the broccoli. Add the sesame oil and soy sauce and mix well. Add the shrimp mixture and blend thoroughly. Correct seasoning and serve.

  • Add Heavy Cream to Shrimp and Sausage, enough to cover over about an inch and a half, increase heat slightly, add water and flour mixture to thicken. Simmer to desired thickness. (Do not over cook shrimp).
  • Sauce should be the consistancy of alfredo sauce and light pink in color (from the sausage fat). Serve over fresh Angel Hair Pasta tossed with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add fresh chopped green onion tops, Rosemary, Fresh Fancy Grated Parmesean and Ramano Cheese -- enjoy.

BABY SHRIMP SCAMPI AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA (RACHAEL RAY)



Baby Shrimp Scampi and Angel Hair Pasta (Rachael Ray) image

Ok...how about dinner in like...15 minutes. Don't forget the bag of salad (ya just gotta eat green things!) Now for my notes on this one -- I didn't have a microplane at the time so instead of the zest, I just squeezed juice from a fresh lemon. I didn't have white wine either, but I did have some sherry and that came out ok too! By the way, here's a rule of thumb when adding wines to food -- if you wouldn't drink it out of a glass, don't put it in your food! Finally, I added about a teaspoon of finely chopped garlic cuz Emeril says it's good for ya. Deeeeeeeeeeee-lish!!!
