Best Fusilli With Shrimp And Snow Peas In Lime Vinaigrette Recipes

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the snow peas or sugar snap peas. Boil 30 seconds, and transfer immediately to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, drain and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of the corn starch, 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the rice wine or sherry, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Add the shrimp, and stir together to coat.
• Place the remaining corn starch, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sesame oil and sugar in another bowl. Add the stock, and stir together well. Set aside.
• Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates immediately upon contact. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and turn the heat to medium. Add the ginger and garlic, and stir together for about 20 seconds, then add the red pepper and the white and light green parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for two to three minutes, until the pepper begins to soften. Stir to the side of the pan. Add the remaining oil and the shrimp. Cook, stirring, for two minutes, stir in the snow peas or snap peas, and continue to stir-fry for another two or three minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Give the sauce a stir, and add it to the pan along with the dark green ends of the scallions. Stir everything together with the sauce until the shrimp and vegetables are lightly glazed. Serve hot, with rice.

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND GINGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine 2 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon salt, stirring until salt is dissolved. Add shrimp, and let stand five minutes. Rinse shrimp under cold running water, and set to dry on paper towels. With more towels, pat shrimp dry.
• In a bowl, combine broth, wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and pepper.
• Heat a wok over high heat. To test heat flick a few drops of water into wok. When water vaporizes within 2 seconds, wok is hot. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil around sides of wok. Add shrimp, spreading them in a single layer, so they have contact with hot metal. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or just until pink, tossing them with a wok shovel or spatula. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add snow peas and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry 1 minute more.
• Stir cornstarch mixture, swirl it in around sides of wok, and bring to a boil. Stir-fry just until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 30 seconds more. Stir in scallions, and serve immediately.

FUSILLI SALAD WITH SEARED SHRIMP AND PARSLEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and cool.
• Toss the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large bowl to coat. Heat the remaining 3 teaspoons of oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté the shrimp until they are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and cool completely.
• In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, yogurt, parsley, chives, capers, lime juice, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Add the pasta and shrimp and toss to coat.
• Arrange the endive leaves around the perimeter of a serving platter, tips out. Spoon the pasta salad into the center of the serving platter. The endive should be peeking out from under the pasta salad. Serve cool or at room temperature.

FUSILLI PRIMAVERA WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a saucepan of lightly salted water to boiling. Add the string beans and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove. Place in a bowl of ice water to cool. In the same boiling water, cook the carrots for about 5 minutes; cool as for the string beans. Add the asparagus tips to the same boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes. Cool, as for the other vegetables.
• In about 1 cup lightly salted boiling water, cook the shrimp until pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from water and cool.
• Boil the pasta in salted water as the package directs for al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water; drain pasta. Cool and place in a serving bowl. Add the cooked vegetables; the raw tomatoes, bell pepper and radishes; and the shrimp. Sprinkle with parsley and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss. Add a little pasta cooking water and toss again. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

SPICY SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Shell the shrimp, rinse them and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the coarse salt and add cold water to cover. Leave them for at least five minutes.
• Mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon water until smooth. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork and mix in the cornstarch mixture.
• Rinse the shrimp, drain them well and coat them with the egg white. Leave them to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the chili paste, sesame oil, sherry and stock in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a wok or deep fryer until it is just hot enough so that a shrimp will float when added to it. Add the remaining shrimp and cook for 15 seconds, just enough to turn them opaque. Stir with a fork or chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together. Be very careful not to overcook. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the shrimp on paper towels. (The oil can be reused twice only, with seafood.)
• Pour off all but a tablespoon oil. Stir-fry the scallions, garlic and ginger for one minute. Add the snow peas and fry for about 30 seconds.
• Add the chili paste-sherry mixture and stir well. Add the shrimp, just long enough to heat through. Serve immediately.

PENNE WITH SHRIMP, FETA, AND SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook penne 5 minutes less than al dente. Add asparagus; cook 3 minutes. Add shrimp and snow peas; cook 2 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta mixture, and return to pot.
• To pasta mixture, add oil, lemon juice, garlic, and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Gently mix in feta and mint; adjust to desired consistency with some pasta water as needed. Serve immediately.

FUSILLI WITH SHRIMP AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and white wine and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the wine reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook just until they are pink, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the fusilli in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Drain the fusilli. Add the fusilli and arugula to the skillet. Toss to combine. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and serve.
