SHRIMP PICCATA PASTA RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Shrimp Piccata Pasta Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-47578

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and halved lengthwise
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam broth
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Table salt
1 pound linguine
3 tablespoons drained small capers
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in pot for cooking pasta. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until just opaque, about 1 minute. Transfer to large plate. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in empty skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds. Add wine, increase heat to high, and simmer until liquid is reduced and syrupy, about 2 minutes. Add clam broth and lemon juice, bring to boil, and cook until mixture is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 8 minutes. 2. As the sauce cooks, add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserving 1/2 cup cooking water, drain pasta, then transfer to large serving bowl. Toss with sauce, shrimp, capers, parsley, and butter until butter melts and shrimp is warmed through. (Add reserved cooking water if sauce seems dry.) Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will give the shrimp plenty of room to cook evenly without overcrowding.
  • Pat the shrimp dry before cooking: This will help them to brown nicely and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season the shrimp generously: Shrimp can easily become bland, so don't be afraid to season them well with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Cook the shrimp in hot oil: This will help them to sear and develop a nice crust.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them and remove them from the heat as soon as they are cooked through.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: A good sauce can really elevate shrimp piccata. Try using a white wine sauce, a lemon-butter sauce, or a tomato sauce.
  • Serve shrimp piccata immediately: This dish is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Shrimp piccata is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. By following these tips, you can make shrimp piccata that is sure to impress your family and friends.
