Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

20 large shrimp, deveined with shell and head left on
4 tomatoes, or more to taste
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, divided
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped
4 large cloves garlic, sliced, or more to taste
½ cup water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 ⅝ pounds spaghetti

Steps:

  • Peel shrimp and place skin, heads, and tails into a large saucepan. Fill pan with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, about 45 minutes.
  • Combine tomatoes and 1/2 the parsley in a blender; puree until smooth.
  • Heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and chile pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Pour pureed tomato mixture into the pan with the peppers. Add water, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well; add paprika. Let sauce simmer on low to medium heat until juices have reduced.
  • Strain shrimp shells from the water. Bring water back to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook spaghetti, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the rest.
  • In the meantime, add shrimp to the tomato sauce. Add the reserved water, stir well, and cook until shrimp is pink, about 3 minutes. Plate spaghetti and spoon the sauce on top; garnish with the remaining parsley.

SHRIMP AND TOMATO PASTA



Shrimp and Tomato Pasta image

Frozen shrimp is a freezer staple that can be counted on to save dinner any night - simply thaw to use them whenever needed. Here, shrimp and spaghetti are tossed with juicy cherry tomatoes, which are gently simmered until they burst and turn saucy. This dish is best with ripe, in-season cherry tomatoes, but the aromatic fennel seeds and garlic infused in the oil will coax maximum flavor out of less enthusiastic tomatoes while adding depth to the sauce.

Provided by Naz Deravian

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound peeled and deveined frozen shrimp (16/20-count), thawed and cut into thirds
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
3 large garlic cloves, gently smashed with the flat side of a knife
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or to taste
2 pounds cherry tomatoes, larger ones halved, small ones kept whole
1 pound spaghetti
Handful of basil leaves, torn
Black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the shrimp, season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a dish and set aside. Discard any excess liquid in the pan.
  • Add the remaining 6 tablespoons oil and the garlic cloves to the same pan and cook over medium-low, turning the garlic a couple of times until light gold and fragrant, taking care not to burn them, about 4 minutes. Add the fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, stir and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium and add the cherry tomatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  • Cook the tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and get saucy, 25 to 30 minutes. While the tomatoes cook, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil for the pasta. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the shrimp with any juices to the tomatoes to reheat for a couple of minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning.
  • Set the pasta pot next to the saucepan and use tongs to transfer the spaghetti to the tomatoes and shrimp. The starchy water clinging to the spaghetti will make for a tasty and silky sauce. (You can drain the spaghetti, if you prefer. If you do, reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water to add as needed for a silky sauce.) Remove the pan from the heat, add the basil and toss well. Season with black pepper to taste and serve.
