Best Pasta With Tequila Avocado And Shrimp Recipes

SHRIMP & AVOCADO PASTA

Steps:

• Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin, and place the avocado in the bowl of a food processor. Add the Parmesan and lemon juice to the food processor bowl. Pulse the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes while streaming in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl with a spatula as needed. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Set the avocado mixture aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions. Once the pasta is al dente, drain and set aside.
• Add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Add the scallions and red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Add the cooked pasta and the avocado-Parmesan sauce to the shrimp mixture and toss to combine using a pair of kitchen tongs. The pasta should be evenly coated with the avocado-Parmesan mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Serve immediately, with more Parmesan if desired.

AVOCADO, SHRIMP, AND TEQUILA FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add pasta. Cook until al dente. Drain.
• In a large pan, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and sprinkle with cumin and paprika. Add shrimp to pan. Cook until pink on bottom and flip over. As soon as you get them flipped, add shallots and garlic. Then add tequila and carefully tilt the pan to ignite the tequila (if you have a gas stove). The flames can go pretty high so make sure your face is nowhere near the pan! Note: it's not necessary to light the tequila. Most of the alcohol will still burn off and it will taste pretty much the same.
• Remove shrimp and set aside. Add chicken broth and simmer until reduced in half.
• Add heavy cream, lime zest, and red pepper flakes and simmer 1 minute. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add tomato and 2 tablespoons butter. Turn heat off, stir to incorporate the butter and add fettuccine and shrimp to pan. Toss to coat fettuccine.
• Divide into serving bowls and top with avocado and cilantro.
