Old Bay Shrimp Pasta Recipes

OLD BAY® SHRIMP AND PASTA ALFREDO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and sprinkle with seafood seasoning; toss until completely coated. Stir in red pepper flakes and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain pasta.
• Add pasta to the skillet and toss with shrimp and olive oil to combine. Stir in Alfredo sauce and drizzle with lemon juice.

OLD BAY®-SEASONED STEAMED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring water, vinegar, and seafood seasoning to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add shrimp and stir.
• Reduce heat to medium, cover, and steam, stirring once or twice, until bright orange in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.

OLD BAY SHRIMP & PASTA

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until tender.
• Stir in Bloody Mary Mix and water. Bring to boil. Stir in pasta. Cover. Cook on medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until pasta is tender.
• Stir in heavy cream. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened. Add shrimp; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Garnish with chopped parsley. Season with OLD BAY® Seasoning, if desired.

OLD BAY CREAMY SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to directions on package. During the last minute of cooking add the peas. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon of Old Bay. Cook for 3 minutes or until they start to turn pink. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Stir in the half-and-half, reserved cooking liquid, Parmesan cheese and the rest of the Old Bay. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and add the pasta, peas and green onion. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving (this gives the sauce a few more minutes to thicken).
• Serve with extra grated Parmesan cheese.

EASY & CREAMY OLD BAY SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes (the water needn't return to a boil). Drain the shrimp in a colander and run under cold water to shock the shrimp and stop the cooking. Shell the shrimp and devein if necessary.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Old Bay, wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the cooked shrimp, celery and light green scallions. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Before serving, transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the dark green scallions and a dash of Old Bay. The salad will keep for 2 days, covered, in the refrigerator.

OLD BAY SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta to al dente. We normally use linguine, but spaghetti works equally well. Use whatever you have and cook it according to the package directions for al dente in salted water.
• Just before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of pasta water. You want to wait until the pasta is cooked because starches come out into the water and add flavor and a creaminess when you add it to the sauce.
• Sear the shrimp. Toss them with Old Bay until they're evenly coated and sauté them in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. I like to work in batches to get a really good sear on the shrimp. The more space you have the better, and since the shrimp cook really fast, you can do it while the pasta cooks. Remove the shrimp from the pan as they finish cooking.
• Make the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium and minced garlic and parsley to the remaining olive oil. Simmer until fragrant. It should take about 30 seconds.
• Next, deglaze the pan with white wine and lemon juice. If you're using a fresh lemon, add the zest here, too. If you aren't, don't worry about it. It just enhances the lemon flavor and is totally optional.
