Best Red Pepper Lemon Shrimp Recipes

EMERIL'S SHRIMP AND PASTA WITH GARLIC, LEMON, CRUSHED RED PEPPER AND GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente, about 9 minutes.
• While the pasta is cooking, toss the shrimp with the Essence in a medium bowl. Place 4 tablespoons of the butter in a 14-inch skillet set over high heat. Add the shrimp, spreading them evenly in one layer. Cook for 2 minutes, and then turn them to the other side. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter, and cook for 1 1⁄2 minutes. Season the shrimp with the 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper.
• Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 1⁄2 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta, reserved cooking water, crushed red pepper, and green onion tops to the sauce in the skillet. Toss until everything is heated through and the pasta is well coated, about 1 minute.
• Remove the skillet from the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the parsley, and toss to combine. Serve hot.

RED PEPPER LEMON SHRIMP

Steps:

• Cook pasta in salted water till al dente. Drain well and toss with a little olive oil (to prevent it sticking together).
• While pasta cooks, in a large skillet, heat 1-1/2 T. olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp, red pepper, garlic, and bay leaf to pan. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes.
• Add wine and lemon slices to pan; increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Cook till liquid is reduced by half (about 3 minutes). Turn off flame and add parsley and 1 T. butter, stirring till butter melts and is well distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve, spread pasta on plates and top with shrimp mixture, drizzling a little sauce over each portion. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired. (You may want to warn guests not to eat the bay leaf, but the lemon slices are fair game, in my opinion, though some may prefer to remove them prior to serving).
