CREAMY SHRIMP PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and toss to combine. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over the shrimp, and toss to coat the shrimp. Sprinkle 1 more tablespoon flour and toss to evenly coat the shrimp.
• Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook on each side, flipping once, until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to plate.
• Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, whisking the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Reduce heat to medium and pour in cream, whisking constantly. Cook sauce over medium heat until bubbly and the cream starts to thicken the mixture, about 5 minutes.
• Taste the sauce and add seasonings as desired (salt, pepper, cajun seasonings, etc.) Add the drained pasta and shrimp to the sauce, and stir to combine.

SEAFOOD PASTA IN LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Pour a glass of wine for the cook, saving 1/4 cup for the recipe ;-)
• 2. Cook pasta in salted water till it's al dente. I make the lemon butter sauce while the water is coming to a boil because the sauce is very quick.
• 3. Saute onions in butter and olive oil on medium high heat until tender. Add shrimp and scallops and saute until shrimp just starts to turn pink and is almost done, but not quite. Overcooking the shrimp and scallops makes them very tough. Also the giant scallops take a long time to cook so I cut them in half to match the cook time of the shrimp if I can't find smaller ones.
• 4. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, white wine, salt and pepper and cook for a few more minutes till bubbly and seafood is done.
• 5. Pour lemon butter sauce over drained (NOT RINSED) pasta and toss with grated cheese and pine nuts. Serve and enjoy an amazing seafood pasta.
• 6. Trader Joe's market has their frozen seafood blend of peeled raw shrimp, scallops, and calamari that I normally use. If you can find a combo bag of shellfish like this at your local market it is both super delicious and easy, just defrost and pour in.

BUTTER SAUCE FOR PASTA, SEAFOOD, ETC.

Steps:

• Let both butter and margarine soften.
• Using hand mixer, blend butter and margarine together with flour until well incorporated.(I generally do this blending in a glass bowl which I can then place on top of a pan of simmering water for the next steps).
• Melt the butter/flour mixture in a double boiler over med. low heat(or glass bowl over simmering pan) until just melted.
• As butter/flour mixture is melting, add it the evaporated milk, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. All of these ingredients are according to your taste - you can use real garlic and heavy cream, white pepper, whatever you prefer or have on hand. You can add up to 4 tablespoons of evaporated milk without making the sauce too thin. Lastly, add in as much paremsan cheese as you would like, my preference is about 2 tablespoons.
• Pour over noodles or whatever and enjoy!

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large (5 or 6 quarts) pot of water to a boil and season with 3 tablespoons kosher salt.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente (usually about 11 minutes). Scoop 1/2 cup of the pasta water out of the pot and set aside, then drain the pasta and transfer to a bowl.
• While the pasta is cooking, pat the shimp with a paper towel to dry them. Sprinkle lightly with salt on both sides.
• Put a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the oil. When it starts to shimmer, add the shrimp in one layer. Cook 2 minutes, then turn them over and continue cooking until they turn pink and opaque, about 1 more minute.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, butter and chili to the pan and stir. When the butter is melted, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water and swirl around until saucy (add more if needed, a tablespoon at a time).
• Pour the shrimp and sauce over the pasta. Top with the parsley and Parmesan cheese to taste. Toss gently and serve. Enjoy!

FRESH SPINACH AND TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, when the pasta is about 10 minutes away from being cooked, start the sauce. Add the olive oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the garlic, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning to the skillet and cook until the tomatoes have become very soft (about 4-5 minutes). You may need to turn the heat down a bit (don't let all the liquid bubble off).
• Stir in the spinach and let it cook for a minute or two until it's wilted.
• Reserve 1/4 cup of the hot pasta water and add it to the skillet, then drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, along with the parmesan cheese. Toss the pasta with the sauce (ensure the parm has melted in smoothly), season with salt & pepper, and serve immediately.
