Bistro Shrimp Pasta image

This is a copycat recipe from the Cheesecake Factory that I found online. It is not exact, but so close that I give it a 9.75 compared to the 10 that is the CF dish. I am very pleased with how it turns out. Bon appetit! The recipe is a little high maintenance, but the end product is worth the work. :)

1 cup quartered button mushroom
1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb thin spaghetti
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup lemon juice

1 lb raw shrimp, deveined and with shells removed
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • 1.) Saute mushrooms in oil. Add tomatoes until warm. Set aside.
  • 2.) Add salt to water and boil for pasta until al dente. Set aside covered with a little oil so it doesn't stick together.

  • 4.) Whisk together fresh squeezed lemon juice and corn starch until smooth. Add pepper.
  • 5.) Add lemon mixture to cream mixture and whisk constantly for 2 minutes. Turn down to lowest heat just to keep warm.
  • 6.) Dip raw shrimp in eggs and then transfer to coat with panko breadcrumb and flour mixture. Fry in butter and oil for a few minutes until golden brown. Allow them to drip on paper towel covered plate and cook the remainder of shrimp this way.
  • 7.) Add basil to sauce.
  • 8.) Put cooked pasta on plate. Add desired amount of sauce. Top with tomatoes and mushrooms and shrimp.
  • 9.) Enjoy! Yummy! :).
