Capellini With Shrimp And Creamy Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook shrimp and garlic with oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes total.
• Stir in vermouth and tomatoes, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet.
• Add cream and briskly simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice.
• Meanwhile, cook capellini in a pasta pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
• Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta.
• Serve pasta immediately, topped iwth shrimp and sauce. Thin with some of the reserved water if necessary.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of the salt and return to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions.
• While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the pan, and sauté until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside in a large bowl.
• Add the white and light green slices of scallions (reserve the dark green slices for garnish) and garlic to the pan and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside in the bowl with the shrimp and cover.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the cream, chicken stock, vermouth, sun-dried tomatoes, and tomato paste. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Return the shrimp mixture to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and add the pasta directly to the skillet, along with the feta, parsley, and half the basil. Toss everything together until the cheese begins to melt and the pasta is glossy with sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Plate in bowls and garnish with the remaining basil and the scallion greens.

Steps:

• Cook and drain pasta as directed on box. Return to saucepan; cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and garlic; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp are pink. Remove shrimp from skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Place tomatoes, whipping cream, pesto and salt in skillet; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring frequently, 8 to 10 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat; stir in shrimp.
• Add shrimp mixture to pasta; toss gently to coat. Place on individual plates. Sprinkle each with cheese. Garnish with basil.
