QUICK SAUTEED SHRIMP IN TOMATO GARLIC SAUCE



Quick Sauteed Shrimp in Tomato Garlic Sauce image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 scallions, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced into thin slivers
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup clam juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar, optional
16 colossal shrimp, shelled and deveined with tail on (about 1 1/4 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, scallions, garlic, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until the greens of the scallions are wilted and darkened with the oil and the garlic is tender and slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and cook while stirring until the tomatoes are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the clam juice and lemon juice, bring to a light simmer and stir. Taste, and if the tomatoes and lemon juice are too tart, add sugar and stir.
  • Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook on 1 side until the shrimp begins to turn opaque and curl slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Then toss and cook until they just begin to turn pink on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. (Shrimp cooks fast and there's a thin line between done and overdone; the best rule is to remove the pan from the heat as they begin to reach the finish line. Continue tossing and the heat of the pan will continue to cook them until done.) Serve warm or chilled.

A twist on shrimp scampi that I threw together for my hungry husband one day, made with things I had in the cupboard. It went over so well that it is a regular at our house now.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups penne pasta
5 teaspoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
½ lemon, juiced

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil.

Stir in the tomatoes; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Add the lemon juice and shrimp. Cook and stir until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, then season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Serve shrimp and sauce over prepared penne pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

PENNE WITH SHRIMP AND SPICY TOMATO SAUCE



Penne With Shrimp and Spicy Tomato Sauce image

Paprika, cumin, and ginger lend their aromatic alchemy to a simple, no-cook tomato sauce. You can use the sauce with a wide range of ingredients(see Variations). One variation is vegetarian. With its competing spices, strong-flavored cilantro, and acidic tomatoes, this pasta dish calls for a simple Italian white--a pinot grigio, for example. Notes: I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Pasta     Shrimp     Seafood     Tomato     Fennel     Chile Pepper     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, preferably San Marzano, drained
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 medium fennel bulb, fronds reserved, core removed, bulb thinly sliced
8 garlic cloves, smashed
1 Fresno chile, very thinly sliced, divided
1/4 cup dry white wine
12 ounces strozzapreti or casarecce pasta
Kosher salt
1 pound rock shrimp or 1 small shrimp, peeled, deveined
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Working over sieve, squeeze tomatoes to release juices and break up flesh. Let tomatoes drain in sieve, collecting juices in bowl, until ready to use.
  • Heat 1/3 cup oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook fennel, garlic, and half of chile, stirring often, until garlic is golden and fennel is starting to brown around the edges, 5-8 minutes. Transfer fennel mixture with a slotted spoon to a small bowl.
  • Increase heat to high; cook drained tomatoes in same pot, stirring occasionally, until broken down and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add wine, scraping up browned bits, and cook until almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Add fennel mixture and collected tomato juices, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 5-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions.
  • Using a spider or a slotted spoon, transfer pasta to pot with sauce; add shrimp and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid. Cook, tossing often, until pasta is al dente and coated in sauce and shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Thin sauce with more pasta cooking liquid if needed; season with salt. Remove from heat; add butter and toss to combine. Season with more salt if needed.
  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with fennel fronds and remaining chile and drizzle with oil.
