SHRIMP PICCATA SPAGHETTI



Shrimp Piccata Spaghetti image

The zesty piccata sauce of fresh lemon juice, briny capers and rich butter is the inspiration behind this weeknight seafood pasta. Plump, meaty shrimp pair perfectly with the pantry-staple sauce, which is simple yet fresh and bright. The chopped shrimp are gently cooked over low heat in a shallot and garlic-infused olive oil to keep them tender. Peas are an easy way to add a vegetable with pops of sweetness. (Thawed frozen corn would also work well.) The dish is finished with fresh parsley, but other herbs like basil, chives or dill would yield equally delicious results.

Categories     dinner, weekday, weeknight, pastas, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium shallot, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound cleaned medium shrimp, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup thawed frozen peas
2 tablespoons capers, plus 2 tablespoons caper brine
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in it. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn opaque, 4 to 5 minutes. If the shrimp is done before the pasta finishes, remove the skillet from heat.
  • Return pasta and 1 cup of the reserved pasta water to the large pasta pot and heat over medium. Add the shrimp mixture, peas, capers, caper brine and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper. Stir vigorously until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
  • Divide pasta in bowls and garnish with more parsley.

SPAGHETTI AL LIMONE WITH SHRIMP



Spaghetti al Limone With Shrimp image

There are many interpretations of the classic Italian pasta dish, spaghetti al limone, or spaghetti with lemon. Some call for an Alfredo-like sauce made with heavy cream, butter and Parmesan, while others rely on just olive oil, lemon juice, Parmesan and starchy pasta water. This particular recipe, which adds sautéed shrimp, white wine and fresh tarragon to the mix, leans toward the simpler preparation. Without the addition of heavy cream, the sauce has a brighter lemon flavor, which works beautifully with the delicate brininess of the shrimp. Tarragon adds a fragrant note and a bit of complexity to an otherwise fairly straightforward dish. Finally, if there were a time to spring for freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, this would be it. In an uncomplicated recipe like this one, the quality of each ingredient is paramount.

Categories     pastas, seafood, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
1 pound large shrimp (18 to 20 count), peeled and deveined, tails on or off
1/4 cup olive oil
2 lemons, zested (about 1 1/2 packed tablespoons), plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for serving
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Scoop out 1 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry and season them with salt and black pepper. Combine the olive oil, lemon zest (setting a few pinches aside for serving) and tarragon in a large skillet set over medium heat. When the oil begins to sizzle, cook for 1 more minute, until the zest and tarragon are fragrant but not browned.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet and spread into an even layer. Cook for about 90 seconds on each side, or until just cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the wine, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the skillet, and bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the pan. Cook until the wine has reduced by about half, then set aside, off the heat, until the pasta has finished cooking.
  • Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing often, until the liquid that has collected at the bottom of the skillet has reduced slightly. (The sauce should still be fairly loose at this point.)
  • Off the heat, add the butter and 1/2 cup Parmesan, sprinkling the cheese evenly over the pasta. Toss until the butter and cheese are melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the lemon juice and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and toss until the sauce is thick and smooth.
  • Add the shrimp, toss, then season with more salt and black pepper to taste. Divide among shallow bowls and garnish with chopped fresh tarragon, lemon zest and black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
  • Choose the right spaghetti: Spaghetti is the traditional pasta for this dish, but you can also use other long, thin pastas like linguine or fettuccine.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and holds its shape well in the sauce.
  • Make sure the sauce is hot: The sauce should be hot when you add the shrimp, so that the shrimp cooks quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Shrimp and spaghetti is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is still bubbling.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and spaghetti is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple, yet flavorful ingredients, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give shrimp and spaghetti a try. You won't be disappointed!
