Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta

linguine, spaghetti

Kosher salt

shrimp

olive oil

tomatoes

garlic grated on a Microplane garlic

butter (salted

red chili pepper (or to taste)

parsley

Parmesan cheese

Bring a large (5 or 6 quarts) pot of water to a boil and season with 3 tablespoons kosher salt.

Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente (usually about 11 minutes). Scoop 1/2 cup of the pasta water out of the pot and set aside, then drain the pasta and transfer to a bowl.

While the pasta is cooking, pat the shimp with a paper towel to dry them. Sprinkle lightly with salt on both sides.

Put a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the oil. When it starts to shimmer, add the shrimp in one layer. Cook 2 minutes, then turn them over and continue cooking until they turn pink and opaque, about 1 more minute.

Add the tomatoes, garlic, butter and chili to the pan and stir. When the butter is melted, add  2 or 3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water and swirl around until saucy (add more if needed, a tablespoon at a time).

Pour the shrimp and sauce over the pasta. Top with the parsley and Parmesan cheese to taste. Toss gently and serve. Enjoy!

Couple of adjustments that I made; don’t use the flour, add pasta water instead. Pasta water already has starch in it, which acts as a thickener. Also, instead of using all the broth, use part of it and sub white wine. It added a lovely addition to the taste! I used calamarata (or pacchiere, it’s also called)  pasta.

I struggle to make recipes come to life in my kitchen but this recipe was detailed and user friendly. It is the tastiest dish I have made from any recipe outside of my family and I will definitely be remaking it. It has made me hopeful to explore other recipes on the site.

What is a single serving size for this recipe? Is the nutritional information provided the total
For all four servicing or is it for one?
For example is the 722 cal for one serving or the total for the entire four servings?

Amazing. Only differences were that I used fire roasted tomatoes instead and added a little sugar to the sauce at the end. Restaurant quality for sure.

I made this with a few substitutions since I am gluten and dairy free, it turned out delicious! I will say next time I am buying my shrimp already cleaned 😛 it took so long!! Other than the prep this was a huge hit, thank you so much for sharing the recipe!

This was excellent!  I made it as written but will add a handful of fresh spinach next time.  Yum.

Loved this recipe!! Paired this with cauliflower gnocchi instead of pasta for a healthier option, and it was unreal.

Made this delicious dish and served it over cheese grits in stead of pasta. It was a hit.  I will definitely make it again and again
