Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
1 yellow squash
1 zucchini
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tails removed
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions for al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, trim the top and bottom off of each squash. Peel the squash in ribbons into a colander, using a vegetable peeler, turning the squash as you peel. Stop peeling the squash when you only have the center core of seeds left. Discard the core and seeds.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and then drain the pasta over the squash ribbons. Put in a medium bowl and toss to evenly distribute the pasta with the squash ribbons.
  • Toss the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and some pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, spread into a single layer and cook without stirring, until just turning pink around the edges, about 2 minutes. Stir the shrimp, add the tomatoes, garlic and pepper flakes and continue to cook until the tomatoes have softened and the garlic has toasted, about 1 minute. Add the pasta and squash ribbons, broth and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook, tossing, until warmed through and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add the pasta water a bit at a time, if needed, if the noodles seem dry.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls and top with the chives.

SHRIMP SCAMPI W/SPAGHETTI



Shrimp Scampi W/Spaghetti image

This is a quick and easy shrimp dish. It takes less than 1/2 hour from start to finish! You can even eliminate the spaghetti and eat just with the shrimp. Be sure to have plenty of Italian bread to mop up the extra scampi sauce! You can even serve over plain white rice. This also freezes very well. Just defrost in a refrigerator, reheat and serve over freshly made pasta! This recipe serves about 4 people and can easily be doubled or tripled to make more. If you like more shrimp, add more...it will not affect the taste!

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup white wine
15 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons of grated Italian cheese
1 lb spaghetti, Cooked and Drained
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan add the Olive oil and butter together over a medium heat until all the butter is melted.
  • Add 1/2 the garlic to the saucepan and simmer for about 3 minutes till the garlic starts to get transparent. (make sure your heat is not too high, you don't want the garlic to brown at all, it will create a very bitter taste).
  • After 3 minutes add the white wine to the mixture. If using gas heat, make sure to remove the pan from heat before adding the wine to avoid fire. Stir mixture and allow to cook together for 4 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp and rest of garlic to mixture and stir together. after about 3 minutes, flip over the shrimp to make sure both sides cook evenly. Cook for another 3 or 4 minutes.
  • After all the shrimp are cooked and the mixture is mixed thoroughly remove from heat and add the parsley and cheese. Stir it all together and serve over cooked pasta. I allow people to add their own salt and pepper to taste as the italian cheese has a very salty taste! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much shrimp or zucchini to the pan at once, it will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Add the lemon juice and white wine at the end of cooking. This will help to brighten the flavors of the dish.
  • Serve immediately. Shrimp scampi is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

This shrimp scampi with spaghetti and zucchini is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The shrimp are cooked to perfection, the zucchini is tender and flavorful, and the spaghetti is perfectly al dente.
