Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 diced (1/4-inch) red bell peppers
2 diced (1/4-inch) yellow bell peppers
6 ripe plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup slivered fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon hot chili oil (see note)
1 small head of broccoli, cut into small florets (reserve stems for another use)
3/4 cup cooked fresh peas (if using frozen peas, cook according to package directions)
12 ounces dried penne

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the shrimp in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water and place in a large bowl.
  • 2. Add the bell peppers, tomatoes, basil, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the shallots, salt, pepper, lemon juice, 1/3 cup of the olive oil, and the hot chili oil to the bowl. Gently toss with the shrimp, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
  • 3. Before serving, bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli.
  • 4. Toss the broccoli and peas with the shrimp and set aside.
  • 5. Just before serving, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the penne. Cook at a rolling boil until just tender.
  • 6. Drain the penne and toss immediately with the shrimp-and-vegetable sauce. Garnish with the remaining tablespoon of parsley.
