SHRIMP PENNE PASTA WITH ARTICHOKE OR ASPARAGUS



Shrimp Penne Pasta with Artichoke or Asparagus image

This is a very easy, quick meal to prepare, especially if you keep these ingredients available in your pantry and freezer. Do not over cook the shrimp... Remove pan from heat when shrimp goes from transparent to white in color. Spice Islands Pizza & Pasta Sicilian Seasoning (for topping once dish is on plate) has a slight sweet and savory taste. It is -not- similar to the italian seasoning most people have in their cupboard. It comes in a grater-topped bottle for easy grinding directly onto dish. And it's great on pizza too! Check it out here: http://www.tones.com/products/display_product.php?product_id=111 *Available at Sam's Club Also great with ASPARAGUS as pictured! Add asparagus (2" lengths) when adding shrimp for al dente, or a little earlier if you like it more tender. I take a vegetable peeler to the stalks if they are on the large side.

Pasta's reputation - restored! With the bad press that pasta's been getting in these carb-phobic times, you may have given it up entirely. The truth is, pasta is only a problem when the noodles make the meal. The trick is rounding it out with healthy add-ins. Here, Whole Foods Markets' executive chef Steven Petsevsky has tossed in a day's supply of vegetables; they supply lots of vitamin C and good-for-you phytochemicals - plus fiber. Shrimp adds a kick of protein, and a handful of fresh herbs makes all the flavors sparkle. Self's testers' verdict: yum.

Toss over medium heat until warmed through and sauce coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh shrimp, artichokes, and asparagus for the best flavor. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Artichokes should be heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves. Asparagus should be bright green and have firm tips.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is pink and opaque.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, asparagus, and artichokes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the dish together. Use a flavorful sauce that complements the shrimp, artichoke, and asparagus. A simple lemon-butter sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce are both excellent choices.
  • Garnish the dish: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
