Shrimp Rosa Recipes

SHRIMP PENNE WITH CREAMY ROSA PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Add Marinara and Alfredo sauces to a dutch oven or large pot and heat on medium to create a Rosa sauce. When it begins to bubble, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Bring water to boil and prepare Penne according to package directions, cooking JUST to al dente. Drain pasta and rinse immediately in cold water to prevent further cooking. Set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to a hot skillet and scorch tomatoes, stirring frequently until they pop and start to shrivel slightly. Set aside.
• Add fresh spinach to Rosa sauce until wilted. Add cooked shrimp, penne and scorched tomatoes into Rosa sauce and let sit for a few minutes.
• Serve with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and basil (optional)

CAPELLINI AND SHRIMP ALLA ROSA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until thick, about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking.
• During the last 10 minutes of cooking, put a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil, getting ready for the pasta.
• Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher until all large pieces are broken up. (Original recipe says to run through a food mill, but I don't think it's necessary)
• Add the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a boil over moderate heat.
• Add the shrimp and basil and cook just until the shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes.
• Add salt to the pot of boiling water, then add the pasta. Cook until the pasta is just done, about 3 minutes. Drain.
• Toss the pasta with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• The original recipe says to serve the pasta topped with the sauce, but we like to just mix it all together in the pot and serve already coated.
• You can pass freshly grated parmesan at the table, if desired.

PENNE ROSA WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Cook penne according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet with a lid, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add in garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for 2 minutes or until garlic begins to soften.
• Add in mushrooms, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until mushrooms begin to release their water.
• Turn heat up to medium-high and add in shrimp. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat, add in spinach and cover skillet. Let spinach wilt for 2 minutes.
• Remove lid and place skillet back over low heat. Add the penne, Greek yogurt and pasta sauce. Stir until sauce is mixed well and all pasta and veggies are coated. Heat until just warmed through. Divide into pasta bowls and serve topped with parmesan cheese.
