Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces pasta (You can use any pasta you like, *be sure to reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water)
1 lb extra-large shrimp (21-25 count per pound, peeled and deveined, with the tails removed)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
1 cup pesto
1/4 cup reserved pasta water
juice and zest of one lemon
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Prepare the pasta according to the directions on the package for al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water and drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. When the butter has melted, add the shrimp and cook for one minute. Flip the shrimp over and add the wine and garlic. Cook just until the shrimp are opaque and have formed a C-shape, which should take about two minutes. Do not overcook the shrimp.
  • Remove the shrimp with a spatula and add the cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook for two to three minutes or until the skin on the tomatoes starts to blister.
  • Add the shrimp back to the skillet and then add the pasta and reserved pasta water. Mix well and add the pesto and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Leave the pan on the heat just until everything is heated through and then remove it.
  • Top with grated parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

LINGUINE WITH SAUTéED SHRIMP, TOMATOES AND PEPPERS



Linguine With Sautéed Shrimp, Tomatoes and Peppers image

Here's a weeknight classic from Pierre Franey's "60 Minute Gourmet" column that was published in 1991. The recipe may be close to 30 years old, but its flavors and ease of preparation are timeless. First, a quick sauce is made of chopped garlic, red and green bell peppers, canned tomatoes and oregano. As that simmers away, the linguine is dropped into briskly boiling water and cooked for about nine minutes. While the pasta is cooking, the shrimp is sautéed with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in a little olive oil until it just turns pink. When the shrimp is cooked through, it's combined with the sauce and a handful of chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley then tossed with the linguine.
