CREAMY SHRIMP AND PASTA



Creamy Shrimp and Pasta image

From Prevention. This isn't the most attractive pasta sauce I've ever made, but it sure is yummy! It is a great use for cooked shrimp, which I often find on sale. The original recipe calls for snow peas instead of green beans (add to pan with shrimp, don't boil) and roasted red peppers instead of fresh. I was worried at first that there was too much thyme, but it comes out nicely in the end.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces whole wheat pasta
1 cup chicken broth
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup skim milk
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped
kosher salt, to taste
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions. In the last three minutes add green beans. Drain all together.

  • Toss the pasta and bean mixture with sauce, season to taste with kosher salt, and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parmesan cheese, if desired.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces short pasta, such as penne or fusilli
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 1/2 teaspoons (or more) kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon (or more) freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets
6 ounces green beans, preferably haricots verts, trimmed
8 ounces large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left on
1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 cup frozen green peas
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup coarsely chopped basil
Red pepper flakes (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Place pasta in a large, wide-bottomed pot or large, wide, straight-sided pan. Add garlic, salt, black pepper, and 3 1/2 cups hot water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover and cook, setting a timer for cooking pasta according to package directions and stirring often. When 5 minutes remain on timer, stir in broccoli and green beans. Cover pot and return to a boil. (If pot starts to dry out at any point, add another 1/2 cup water.) When 2 minutes remain on timer, stir in shrimp, tomatoes, peas, and butter. Cover and continue to cook 2 minutes, then uncover and cook, stirring, until pasta is tender, shrimp are cooked through, and water is almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute more.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest and 3/4 cup Parmesan and toss to coat. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Divide pasta among plates. Top with basil, additional Parmesan, and red pepper, if using.
