Shrimp Florentine With Pasta Recipes

SHRIMP FLORENTINE PASTA

Steps:

• Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (6.5 out of 10.) Add whole garlic clove and cook until golden brown then remove. Meanwhile, pat shrimp dry then season both sides with salt and pepper. Add to skillet then cook for 2 minutes per side, or until pink and curled. Remove to a plate then set aside.
• Drop pasta into a large pot of salted, boiling water then cook until al dente. Drain then set aside.
• Add chopped garlic to skillet then saute for 10 seconds, or until golden brown. Add wine and chicken broth then cook until liquid has reduced by half. Add spinach and grape tomatoes then cook for 2-3 minutes, or until spinach has wilted and tomatoes are soft. Add in cooked pasta and toss to combine. Serve topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

CREAMY SHRIMP FLORENTINE PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta al dente according to package directions, in a large stock pot of generously-salted water. Drain, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a separate large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper on both sides. Then add the shrimp to the pan and sauté for 3-5 minutes, turning once, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. (Cooking time will vary on the size of your shrimp.) Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a clean plate, and set aside.
• Use the same sauté pan to prepare your Creamy Parmesan Sauce.
• Once the pasta and creamy sauce are finished cooking and ready to go, combine them in the large stock pot. Add in the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and basil, and toss together until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
• Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
• Heat olive oil (or melt butter) in the large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté one minute, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Sprinkle evenly with the flour, and stir to combine. Sauté for an additional minute so that the flour can cook, stirring occasionally.
• Then slowly add chicken broth, whisking to combine until smooth. Whisk in milk, and bring to a simmer for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened a bit. Add in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and stir until the cheese has melted. If you'd like a creamier sauce (which is delicious), stir in the half and half as well.
• Remove from heat and use/serve immediately.
