Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound dried spaghetti
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
1/2 teaspoon dried pepperoncini flakes
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound extra-large shrimp, peeled, deveined and butterflied
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and stir. Cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the box instructions.
  • Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the pepperoncini flakes along with the garlic and cook until just starting to turn very light golden brown, about 2 minutes, then turn up the heat slightly and add the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until the bottom turns pink or opaque, 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn the shrimp over to finish cooking, about 1 minute. Add about 1/3 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and add it to the saute pan. Turn up the heat slightly and let cook to thicken the sauce, about 1 minute. Add the herbs, reserving about a teaspoon of each for garnish. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with the reserved herbs.

CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI



Classic Shrimp Scampi image

Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.
