Shrimp Scampi Topped Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet. Add half the shrimp and cook until golden pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet and cook the remaining shrimp.
• Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and let it melt. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the parsley. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Transfer to a serving dish and top with more chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread or pasta.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is just golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate. Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer until slightly reduced, 2 minutes.
• Return the shrimp and any juices from the plate to the skillet along with the linguine, butter and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Continue to cook, tossing, until the butter is melted and the shrimp is hot, about 2 minutes, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed. Season with salt; stir in the parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Place the potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the butter, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Place the potatoes back into the saucepan. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the half-and-half. Using a hand masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the zest, chives, parsley, thyme, the remaining1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
• For the shrimp: In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and set aside. When cool enough to handle, chop the shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir the shrimp and any pan juices into the potatoes.
• Transfer to a bowl and serve.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine or broth, salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F, with a rimmed baking sheet on center rack and another rack in top position. Toss potatoes with 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on sheet and roast on center rack, flipping once, until beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, and toss shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, oregano, and garlic. Season both with salt and pepper.
• Remove sheet from oven; flip potatoes and push to one side, then add asparagus to other. Roast until potatoes are just tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Switch oven to broil; add shrimp and lemon rounds on top of asparagus and potatoes.
• Broil on top rack until shrimp are opaque and browned in places, and asparagus and potatoes are cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Serve.

Steps:

• Fill a high-sided skillet set over high heat with water. Add 3 tablespoons of the salt and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, and gently stir using tongs to make sure the pasta doesn't stick to itself. Cook the pasta for 12 to 14 minutes, and then drain.
• In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the oil. When hot, add the garlic, shallots, tomatoes and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon salt. Saute until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the paprika and chile flakes, and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the wine, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer. Add the cream and return to a simmer for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cover with the sauce. Cook, stirring to make sure the shrimp cooks through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chives and parsley, and toss to mix. Serve the shrimp and sauce over the pasta.

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp very dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and lightly golden in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a plate.
• Add the tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring just once or twice, until they start to blister in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring just once or twice, until the tomatoes burst and the corn is golden in spots, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until you smell garlic, about 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium, and add the wine and lemon juice, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until nearly evaporated, then add the butter and stir until melted. Add the shrimp and its juices and stir until warmed through. (If the sauce breaks and looks greasy, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water and stir until emulsified.)
• Remove from heat, add the herbs, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with extra lemon for squeezing over, if you like.
