MARTHA'S SHRIMP, TOMATO, AND BASIL PASTA



Martha's Shrimp, Tomato, and Basil Pasta image

I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's Great Food Fast recipe book. I love this recipe! I do add cajun seasoning and extra garlic, which is not called for in the original recipe. I like to use Del Monte's basil, garlic, and oregano diced tomatoes. This is good with or without the fresh basil. This serves four, but in my boyfriend and my case, it only serves two.

SHRIMP WITH BASIL, GARLIC, AND TOMATOES



Shrimp with Basil, Garlic, and Tomatoes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup quartered cherry or grape tomatoes (about 12)
5 large fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus extra for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds medium-large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
  • Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
  • Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your pasta will taste. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until it's pink and opaque.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the shrimp will steam instead of sear, and it will be tough.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will also affect the taste of your dish. Choose a high-quality pasta that is made with durum wheat.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The sauce is the key to a great pasta dish. Make sure it's flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano, add a pop of flavor and color to your pasta dish.
