Best Pasta With Rock Shrimp Chile And Lemon Recipes

PASTA WITH ROCK SHRIMP, CHILE, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, then add bonito flakes; swirl butter to combine. Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes to infuse.
• Strain butter through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing on solids; discard bonito flakes. Cover and chill butter until ready to use.
• Finely grind dried shrimp in spice mill or with mortar and pestle; set aside for serving.
• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes if using fresh pasta, longer if dried. Drain pasta, reserving 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add chile and lemon zest and cook, stirring, 20 seconds. Add rock shrimp and cook, tossing, 1 minute. Add tarragon, lemon juice, pasta, 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid, and 3 Tbsp. bonito butter and toss to coat. Cook, tossing and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce is glossy and coats pasta and shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt if needed.
• Divide pasta among bowls and top with scallions and reserved dried shrimp.

LEMON SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Coat shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook and stir shrimp in the hot oil until opaque, about 2 minutes per side.
• Cook linguine in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Combine lemon zest and juice in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle in parsley and stir in butter until melted. Add 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water and stir. Drain pasta. Add shrimp to the lemon sauce. Mix pasta, shrimp, sauce, and Parmesan cheese together in a large serving bowl.

LEMON SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make the shrimp: In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper; add to the preheated pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
• Make the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, parmesan and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl to blend.
• Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, shrimp and the reserved cooking liquid, adding it 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with the salt and pepper; stir in the basil. Garnish with the fried capers and more parmesan, if desired.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CHILE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat. (If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, with the vent on, following the same timing.) Using a Microplane or the small holes of a box grater, grate the garlic and chile into a medium bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, salt and baking soda. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Clean the grates with a grill brush (no need to grease the grates), then grill the shrimp until well browned, 2 to 4 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the lid to maintain temperature.) Flip and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes. Eat right away.

LEMON PASTA WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 1 minutes. Add chicken broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil.
• Add shrimp and cook only until it turns pink; do not fully cook at this point. Remove shrimp from the sauce and set aside; cover to keep warm.
• Reduce the skillet temperature to medium. Add Parmesan cheese, cream, and lemon zest to the sauce; bring to a simmer. Cook to thicken the sauce, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
• Add shrimp to the sauce just before it has fully thickened and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes; don't overcook.
• Combine shrimp sauce, pasta, and cilantro; toss and serve.

PASTA WITH FAVAS, SHRIMP, AND FRESH CHILE

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath. Remove favas from outer pods and cook in a pot of salted boiling water until they float, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath; drain. Pinch tops of favas and squeeze out bright-green beans; you should have about 1 1/4 cups. (Blanched beans can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days, or frozen up to 3 months.)
• Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 2 minutes for fresh, 8 to 10 minutes for dried. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large straight-sided skillet, heat pancetta with 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add fava beans and stir to coat; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat; using a slotted spoon, transfer pancetta and beans to a bowl.
• Return skillet to medium-high heat and swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook, flipping once, until garlic is golden and shrimp curl and just turn opaque, about 2 minutes (they will continue to cook as they mix with the hot pasta).
• Stir in sliced chile and fava-pancetta mixture. Add cooked pasta and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water to skillet and cook, stirring vigorously, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add more pasta water, a spoonful at a time, and drizzle in a bit more oil if needed to create a silky sauce. Squeeze lemon over top and season to taste; serve immediately.
