SHRIMP PASTA WITH TOMATOES, LEMON AND SPINACH RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• On a plate, toss the shrimp with the crushed red pepper, half the lemon zest, chopped herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it sit while you start the rest. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the garlic and bloom 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes along the remaining lemon zest. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and saute for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear on one side for 2 minutes. Flip and sear another minute, or until shrimp is cooked through. Keep tossing the tomatoes just a little bit. In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the angel hair until al dente, maybe 5 minutes. Drain all but about 1/2 cup of the pasta water and toss with the shrimp and tomato mixture, along with the spinach. Squeeze a lot of lemon juice right in. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Add as much pasta water as you want to create a thin, glorious sauce. Serve it with more lemon juice, crusty bread and for heaven's sake, fresh parmesan cheese. *out of control

GARLIC SHRIMP AND SPINACH PASTA

Steps:

• Thaw and pat dry shrimp, set aside to bring to room temperature.
• Boil water for pasta.
• Meanwhile, prepare garlic by slicing longways in slivers, leaving the garlic quite large. Sometimes, I only cut the garlic cloves in half and leave them in large pieces. Sometimes, I chop them finely. It depends on my mood!
• Finely chop onion.
• In a large skillet, add margarine/butter and Olive Oil and heat through on medium.
• Add onion and garlic.
• Add pasta to boiling water.
• Sautee garlic and onion until onions becomes transparent but do not burn the garlic! Add the onion first if you are afraid to burn the garlic. Burning it will cause it to taste bitter.
• Add shrimp, fresh ground pepper, and salt to taste.
• Once shrimp begin to curl up a little, add spinach. The spinach will be wilted in the pan when finished.
• By this time, your pasta should be ready for draining.
• Drain pasta and add to your shrimp and spinach mix still in the pan.
• Toss thoroughly and plate.
• Feel free to add chopped red or yellow pepper to this recipe. Baby scallops are also very tasty added to it as well.
