Best Bow Ties With Peas And Shrimp Recipes

CREAMY BOW TIE PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the oil, flour, garlic and seasonings until blended. Gradually add the milk, broth and water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes., Remove from the heat; stir in cheese and sour cream. Drain pasta; toss with sauce.

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH BOW TIE PASTA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl or large plastic zip-tip bag, combine all marinade ingredients, mix well, add shrimp and let sit 20-30 minutes, stirring or flipping bag occasionally.
• When shrimp are almost done marinating, start cooking the pasta accoring to directions on the package.
• Meanwhile, combine flour and paprika (if using) on a large plate or in a large plastic zip-top bag, lightly coat shrimp with flour mixture.
• Reserve the marinade.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook the shrimp about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. (The flour coating may not be crispy, but that okay, most of it will come off of the shrimp and thicken the pasta sauce.).
• Set cooked shrimp aside.
• Add butter and marinade to pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Return shrimp to pan, stir well, reduce heat to medium, and add milk.
• Stirring well, cook about 3-4 minutes or until sauce has thickened. (If you don't use the flour, you may want to thicken now with a cornstarch and water mixture).
• Add parmesan cheese and parsley, stir to combine.
• Add cooked pasta and stir well to completely coat with sauce.
• Serve hot.

SWEET PEA-BOW TIE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook pasta for 12 minutes; then drain. (I add a bit of vegetable oil to the water before it comes to a boil, so pasta doesn't stick together).
• Rinse pasta under cold water, and drain pasta well.
• In a large bowl mix together, the sweetened condensed milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, buttermilk, salt and pepper.
• Place in refrigerator til ready to mix salad ingredients together.
• When ready to assemble salad together, in a medium sized bowl, add some of the pasta, some of the carrots, a teaspoon or so of the diced red onion, a third of the diced celery, and some of the dressing; mix together gently with a spatula.
• Add salad mixture to a "very" large size bowl, (I used my largest Tupperware bowl; total capacity: 32 cups) cuz this recipe does make an enormous amount of salad.
• Toss a few peas, over the salad.
• Repeat mixing the pasta, carrots, onion and celery together, (in small amounts) in the medium sized bowl along with the dressing, then place on top of the salad in the "very" large size bowl, along with some of the peas.
• Keep layering til all the ingredients are used up; ending with peas ontop of the salad.
• Cover the bowl, and chill salad for several hours in the refrigerator, or overnight.
• Before serving, be sure to stir the salad.
• This salad keeps well for several days in the refrigerator.
• *Note: For this recipe, I substituted matchstix (French-Cut Cooking Carrots) for the shredded carrots. You can find these in your produce section. It came in a (10 oz.) bag, but I only use 3/4's of the bag, about (8 oz).
