Old Bay Shrimp Scampi Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook linguine in boiling water until nearly tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes in the hot butter and oil until shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Season shrimp with kosher salt and black pepper; add to the skillet and cook until pink, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove shrimp from skillet and keep warm.
• Pour white wine and lemon juice into skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet, stir 2 tablespoons olive oil into butter mixture, and bring to a simmer. Toss linguine, shrimp, and parsley in the butter mixture until coated; season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and sprinkle with seafood seasoning; toss until completely coated. Stir in red pepper flakes and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain pasta.
• Add pasta to the skillet and toss with shrimp and olive oil to combine. Stir in Alfredo sauce and drizzle with lemon juice.

Steps:

• Cook pasta to al dente. We normally use linguine, but spaghetti works equally well. Use whatever you have and cook it according to the package directions for al dente in salted water.
• Just before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of pasta water. You want to wait until the pasta is cooked because starches come out into the water and add flavor and a creaminess when you add it to the sauce.
• Sear the shrimp. Toss them with Old Bay until they're evenly coated and sauté them in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. I like to work in batches to get a really good sear on the shrimp. The more space you have the better, and since the shrimp cook really fast, you can do it while the pasta cooks. Remove the shrimp from the pan as they finish cooking.
• Make the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium and minced garlic and parsley to the remaining olive oil. Simmer until fragrant. It should take about 30 seconds.
• Next, deglaze the pan with white wine and lemon juice. If you're using a fresh lemon, add the zest here, too. If you aren't, don't worry about it. It just enhances the lemon flavor and is totally optional.

Steps:

• Combine Old Bay seasoning with spices, olive oil, and lemon juice.
• Add shrimp; turn to coat throughly. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Heat large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Cook and stir shrimp mixture 3-5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and curl up.
• Serve over pasta.
