Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 12

Shrimp Bolognese
1 shallot (minced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
14 ounces canned tomatoes (squeezed dry and chopped very fine)
4 ounces white wine
1 ounces white wine vinegar
1 cup chicken stock
1 pound shrimp (peeled, 21-25 count)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons julienne basil
1 pound spaghetti

Steps:

  • Sweat shallots and garlic in extra virgin olive oil until soft, about 7-8 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Add wine and vinegar and cook until liquid has reduced and is almost dry, about 3-5 minutes. Add stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the shrimp and sauté for 1 minute. Then add the remaining sauce and simmer until the shrimp are cooked through and the flavors have combined, about 4 to 6 more minutes. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce along with the butter and basil. Cook until the butter has incorporated into sauce. Serve the pasta with a few cooked shrimp on top. Tip: replace the shrimp with lobster tails. Or even use the base of the sauce to make a fish stew!
