CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl add flour, milk, paprika powder, garlic powder, salt, and herbs, and mix well. To this, add fresh (or thawed) and deveined shrimp and mix well until all shrimp are coated in the flour mixture.
• In a nonstick pan on medium heat, add olive oil or butter. Once the oil is hot, or butter is melted, add shrimp and cook on each side for about two minutes, or until they are cooked but still tender and juicy.
• In a saucepan on medium heat, add oil and butter, finely chopped onion, and garlic cloves. Sauté until onions just begin to start developing light golden color.
• Next, add tomatoes, heavy cream, salt to taste, and red pepper flakes if desired, and bring it to a boil. Add finely chopped cilantro and parmesan cheese, and continue to simmer the sauce for 5 more minutes or until it just begins to thicken.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add salt to season this water, and then add angel hair pasta. This cooks really fast, so drain the hot water in about 4 minutes. Drizzle some olive oil if you want to prevent the pasta from sticking to one another.
• Once the sauce thickens, toss it with the pasta and shrimp scampi you prepared from step I.
• Garnish it with cilantro, pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy.

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.

Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer until slightly reduced, 2 minutes.
• Return the shrimp and any juices from the plate to the skillet along with the linguine, butter and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Continue to cook, tossing, until the butter is melted and the shrimp is hot, about 2 minutes, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed. Season with salt; stir in the parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
