Pasta alla Pamela with Shrimp and Peas image

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
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

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).
  • Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • 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. Add a generous amount of Parmesan and toss again, adding the pasta water as necessary.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Garnish with more Parmesan and the parsley. Serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces gemelli or other short pasta
3 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic (from 4 large cloves)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut on the diagonal into 3/4-inch slices
3/4 cup crumbled feta (3 ounces)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, plus more, coarsely chopped, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring pasta, garlic, broth, 2 cups water, and oil to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes less than instructed on pasta package.
  • Add shrimp and 1 teaspoon lemon zest and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in peas, 1/2 cup feta, and dill and cook, stirring, until peas are bright green and crisp-tender and shrimp are opaque, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice. Serve, topped with remaining 1/4 cup cheese, remaining 1 teaspoon zest, and coarsely chopped dill, and drizzled with oil.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh shrimp and sugar snap peas. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.

  • If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little extra heat.
  • Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
