Shrimp and Pasta with Garlic Shallots and White Wine
From pieplate 15 years ago
- 12 minutes to make
- Serves 2
I couldn't believe how easy and good this turned out to be! We couldn't go out Valentine's Day night, so we prepared this together.
Ingredients
- Pot of boiling water for the pasta shopping list
- 2 servings fresh pasta--I used tortelloni, but I would have used linguine too--whatever size a serving is for you shopping list
- 10-12 oz frozen raw or fresh raw shrimp (of course it's easier if they are precooked, but it makes an enormous difference, trust me) shopping list
- 1 whole shallot shopping list
- 2 large cloves garlic shopping list
- 3 T butter (don't wimp out and use margarine or olive oil here) shopping list
- 1 c good white wine, the same as you are planning to drink with this meal shopping list
- salt to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Chop garlic and shallot finely (if you have a mezzaluna, now is the time to bring it out)
- Start pasta boiling--better use a timer, because you are going to be busy
- Saute garlic and shallot in 2 T butter until they do not smell raw; set aside
- Peel shrimp (it's not that hard, just twist the tail and pull gently, then rub off the rest of the shell)
- Add shrimp to garlic-shallot mixture and saute until pink and cooked through, stirring the while
- When the shrimp are almost cooked, add the wine and let it boil up and cook until the alcohol smell is gone.
- You will have drained the pasta, or will be about to drain it; don't drain it too much, as a slop of the cooking liquid makes a big difference in the sauce. Place the pasta in a warmed serving dish and toss with the remaining 1 T butter
- Add shrimp mixture to the pasta and serve
- We had asparagus alongside this, and they were very good rolled in the pasta sauce.
