Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound asparagus, sliced on a bias into 2-inch pieces
1 pound pasta, conghiglie rigate (shell-shaped)
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Freshly ground black pepper
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
1/3 cup white wine
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add asparagus to pot, simmer 30 seconds, and remove. Add the pasta and a generous pinch of salt to the pot and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil and swirl it to coat the pan. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. After 2 minutes, turn the shrimp over; add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, and the red pepper flakes. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, regulating the heat to avoid burning the garlic.
  • Add the lemon zest and white wine to the shrimp. Stir to reduce the wine slightly. Add the lemon juice, cooked pasta, cooked asparagus, and reserved pasta water to the pan. Toss to combine. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and extra red pepper flakes on each serving.

CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI



Classic Shrimp Scampi image

Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.

1 3/4 pounds large or extra-large shrimp, shelled
1/3 cup chopped parsley
Freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH TOMATOES, PASTA, AND ROASTED ASPARAGUS



Shrimp Scampi with Tomatoes, Pasta, and Roasted Asparagus image

This is a great date night meal! It will make a ton of leftovers, so you can send some home with your boo. I make this with a decent bottle of Sauvignon Blanc because the acidity in the wine pairs well with the lemon juice and the fresh cut grass-like aromas of the asparagus. Chill the rest of the bottle and have it with your meal! Remember to always use a wine that you enjoy the flavor of by itself if you're going to cook with it because the food takes on the flavor of the wine.

SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA WITH ASPARAGUS RECIPE



Shrimp Scampi Pasta with Asparagus Recipe image

Provided by mmflagg

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb spaghetti
1 lb or 1 bundle asparagus, rinsed
3 Tbsp butter divided
3 Tbsp olive oil divided
4 cloves garlic minced (about 1 1/2 Tbsp)
1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined (16-20 or 21-25 count)
Sea Salt and Pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice from 1 large or 2 small lemons
1/3 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
1 Tbsp grated lemon zest
Grated parmesan to serve

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 Tbsp salt and 1 Tbsp olive oil and cook pasta according to package instructions until aldente, or desired doneness (meanwhile, continue with recipe). Drain pasta, return to pot and cover to keep warm. Trim asparagus to remove fibrous ends. The fastest way is by snapping off the ends and wherever they snap is where the fibrous part ends. You can also use a vegetable peeler to remove fibrous ends. Cut asparagus into thirds. Place a large, deep pan over medium/high heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add asparagus, season lightly with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper and cook uncovered for 5 minutes or until crisp tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan. In the same hot skillet, add 2 Tbsp oil and 2 Tbsp butter. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sautee, stirring frequently for 1 minute. Add shrimp in a single layer and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Saute until shrimp are pink and not translucent (about 2 minutes per side). Be careful not to overcook or shrimp will be tough. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/3 cup chopped parsley, 1 Tbsp lemon zest and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and return pasta and asparagus to the pan. Toss everything to combine and serve with grated parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can substitute dry vermouth or chicken broth.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
  • Serve the shrimp scampi over your favorite pasta, such as linguine, spaghetti, or angel hair.
  • Garnish the shrimp scampi with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
