Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pound linguine
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Essence, divided, recipe follows
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Set a large 1-gallon stock pot of water to a boil and add the kosher salt. Place the linguine in the pot and stir the pot until the water returns to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender, but with a bit of resistance (al dente), about 12 minutes.

Once the butter has melted, season the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the Essence and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and add the shrimp to the pan. Sear the shrimp until pink, about 1 minute, then turn over and cook for another minute. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Add the onions and saute until softened and lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, pesto, remaining tablespoon of Essence, remaining teaspoon of the salt to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce until the cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Return the shrimp, linguine and the reserved cooking water to the pan and cook, tossing to incorporate for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and add the parsley and parmesan cheese and toss to blend. Serve immediately.

ONE PAN PASTA WITH CREAMY SHRIMP AND PESTO SAUCE



One Pan Pasta With Creamy Shrimp and Pesto Sauce image

This recipe from Sunset uses only one pan. Yup, a single pan! The secret is to use frozen cooked shrimp and prepared pesto. When I make it, I thaw the shrimp by putting them in the same colander I am going to use for the pasta. Then I pour the pasta and its boiling water over the shrimp, and--voila--thawed shrimp! The recipe is very pesto-y, so, if you like, feel free to cut down on the pesto and use more sun-dried tomatoes. Also, use whatever pasta shape you like (we prefer long noodles, for instance).

SHRIMP AND PESTO CREAM SAUCE



Shrimp and Pesto Cream Sauce image

An EASY quick and delicious meal. I make my own pesto and freeze small batches for meals like this but you definitely can use store bought. You can substitute the Heavy Cream with Half and Half or Light Cream. The sauce is made in a medium fry pan in no time and will sit fine covered until your pasta is done. I suggest Lunguini or regular Spagetti with a nice bottle of dry white wine and toss salad. This will have some calories to it but once in a while splurge! This is worth it. I made this up in less time it took to boil the water.
