SPICY SHRIMP & PENNE PASTA



Spicy Shrimp & Penne Pasta image

I created this creamy pasta dish when I needed to use up some marinara. Red pepper flakes give it a little heat, which my family loves. It's super versatile, so try it with chicken, or simply stir in some fresh basil, too. -Lorri Stout, Gaithersburg, Maryland

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the dish will taste. Look for seafood that is plump and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Cook the seafood properly: Seafood should be cooked quickly over high heat to prevent it from becoming tough and rubbery. Overcooking will also make the seafood less flavorful.
  • Use a variety of spices: Seafood pairs well with a variety of spices, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular choices include garlic, chili powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity can help to brighten up the flavors in a seafood dish. Lemon juice, white wine, or vinegar are all good options.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Seafood pasta dishes can be served with a variety of sides, such as garlic bread, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Spicy seafood pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
