Shrimp And Zucchini And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and cook until slightly softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in asparagus and snap peas and continue to cook until bright green and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add shrimp and season with kosher salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp are firm and pink, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Pour tomato sauce into the mixture and bring to a simmer. Toss in zucchini noodles and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 7 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and basil.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium heat.
• Coat a large, wide pot set over medium-high heat with olive oil. Toss in the garlic and crushed red pepper. When the garlic becomes golden and very aromatic, remove from the pan and discard. Toss in the tomatoes, zucchini and onions and roll them around in the oil. Add 1 cup of the stock and season with salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the tomatoes start to burst and give off their juices, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup more stock if the liquid level is very low.
• Drop the tagliatelle into the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the shrimp into the pot with the tomatoes and stir to combine. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and then toss the pasta immediately into the pot with the tomato mixture. Add in the reserved cooking water, if needed. Toss vigorously to combine. Remove from the heat and drizzle some finishing oil over the top, then add the Parmesan and a sprinkling of fresh oregano to garnish. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately.
• Place the flour on a clean dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour about 8-inches wide (bigger is definitely better here). Crack all of the eggs and the yolk into the hole and add the olive oil, a pinch of salt and 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
• Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, water and salt. Then begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture; be careful not to break the sides of the well or the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place when the sides of the well are broken, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together as a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading.
• When kneading it is VERY important to put your body weight into it, get on top of the dough to really stretch, but not to tear, the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader and 10 to 15 minutes for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it, you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun!
• When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let rest for at least 1 hour. If using immediately, do not refrigerate.
• To roll out the pasta, you need to run the dough through a pasta roller a bunch of times to get it long and thin. To start, cut off about a quarter of the dough, keeping the rest wrapped up so it doesn't dry out. Squish the dough to flatten it. Run the dough through the pasta roller starting on the widest setting, number 1. Then dust the dough with flour, fold it into thirds, and put the dough through this setting two more times. If the dough ever feels sticky or tacky, dust with flour. Now adjust the setting to number 2 and repeat the process again, changing the setting each time until the dough reaches the desired thickness. Once the dough is rolled out, be sure to keep the pasta covered so it doesn't dry out. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, then cut the dough to the desires pasta shape.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add zucchini; sauté until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and minced rosemary. Sauté until zucchini are tender, about 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook shrimp in large pot of boiling salted water until opaque in center, about 4 minutes. Drain shrimp. Spoon zucchini mixture onto plates. Top with shrimp. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil over each serving. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for high heat. Whisk garlic, oregano, salt, red pepper, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl. Add shrimp, zucchini, and tomatoes and toss to coat.
• Brush wires of grill basket with oil, then add shrimp mixture. Arrange in an even layer and close basket. Place grill basket on grill and cook, turning often, until shrimp is fully cooked through and zucchini and tomatoes are lightly charred, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grill pita just until warm and toasted.
• Transfer shrimp mixture to a large bowl and toss until coated with tomato juices. Divide among plates and top with feta. Serve with pita alongside.

Steps:

• 1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini in a single layer; increase heat to high and cook until bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Flip zucchini and cook until golden on other side, about 2 minutes more. Remove zucchini to a plate with a slotted spoon. Heat remaining teaspoon oil in same skillet. Add shrimp; sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper; sauté until shrimp are almost just cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic and water; sauté, stirring to loosen bits from bottom of pan, until shrimp are cooked through and tomatoes are softened, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Return zucchini to skillet; toss and serve. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving. Notes Try this with fresh basil instead of, or in addition to, the oregano (just stir it in right at the end). Grate some lemon zest over top and/or sprinkle with fresh lemon juice, if desired.
• 2. Keep a bag of large frozen shrimp on hand for this quick and easy sautéed meal. The juices from the tomatoes add a wonderful flavor to the sauce.
