Spicy Scampi El Sombrero Recipes

CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• 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.
• Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is just golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate. 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.

SAMBAL SHRIMP LINGUINE

Steps:

• Combine 64 ounces (1/2 gallon) water with 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot and bring to a hard rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente according to the package directions.
• While the pasta cooks, heat a large saute pan over high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 20 seconds. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring vigorously, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sambal, lemon juice, shrimp and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing, until the shrimp start to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the butter, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.
• The pasta should be al dente about now. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the pasta water, then drain the linguine; transfer both to the saute pan and cook over medium high heat, tossing, until mixed thoroughly.
• Remove from the heat and plate the pasta high and tight in the center. Garnish with the scallions directly on the pasta, then garnish that with the breadcrumbs. Enjoy!
