Pesto Bucatini With Shrimp And Grape Tomatoes Recipes

SHRIMP PESTO PASTA

Steps:

• If frozen, thaw the shrimp.
• Start a pot of well salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until it is just al dente. Start tasting a few minutes before the package recommends: you want it to be tender but still a little firm on the inside; usually around 7 to 8 minutes. Just before draining, reserve 1 cup pasta water! Then drain the pasta.
• Pat the shrimp dry. In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp with spices. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through, turning them with tongs. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Place the pasta in a bowl (not the pasta pot). Stir together the pasta, pesto, and 1/2 cup pasta water, tossing with tongs until the pesto is well distributed and the pasta water forms a creamy sauce. Add more pasta water if desired. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and taste. If the flavor doesn't pop, add a few more pinches until it does. Top with the cooked shrimp and serve immediately. (Store any leftovers refrigerated: note that pesto can get gummy when reheated, so it's best to eat leftovers cold or room temp.)

BUCATINI WITH PESTO AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, make the pesto: Process the tomatoes, basil, mint, almonds, garlic, orange zest and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until combined. With the motor running, gradually add 1/3 cup olive oil in a steady stream and blend to make a coarse pesto, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed. Transfer the pesto to a large bowl; do not wash out the processor.
• Add the bucatini to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Meanwhile, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then dredge in the flour. Fry the shrimp in 2 batches until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
• Remove the pasta with tongs (reserve the cooking water) and transfer to the bowl with the pesto; toss to coat. If the pasta seems dry, rinse the food processor with 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and add to the pasta, a little at a time. Season with salt. Add the cheese and toss. Drizzle the pasta with olive oil and divide among bowls; top with the shrimp.

PESTO PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND TOMATOES RECIPE

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.

SHRIMP SAUTE WITH PESTO, MOZZARELLA, AND GRAPE TOMATOES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to a large saute pan on medium-high heat. Stir to spread the melting cheese. Cook for about 2 minutes, just until the tomatoes are tender and the mozzarella is nice and creamy. If you are using previously frozen shrimp you only need to reheat them, so don't over cook! If you are using uncooked shrimp, add all of the ingredients and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes.

BUCATINI PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Meanwhile, stir together the anchovies and their oil with the red pepper flakes and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up the anchovies as you stir. Once the garlic begins to sizzle, add the sliced zucchini, and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the grape tomatoes, and continue cooking until the zucchini is tender, and the skins of the tomatoes begin to pop, 5 minutes more.
• Sprinkle the vegetable mixture with oregano and basil, then stir in shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent. Pour over bucatini to serve.
