Shrimp Spaghetti With Crumbs Recipes

Steps:

• Peel shrimp and place skin, heads, and tails into a large saucepan. Fill pan with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, about 45 minutes.
• Combine tomatoes and 1/2 the parsley in a blender; puree until smooth.
• Heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and chile pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour pureed tomato mixture into the pan with the peppers. Add water, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well; add paprika. Let sauce simmer on low to medium heat until juices have reduced.
• Strain shrimp shells from the water. Bring water back to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook spaghetti, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the rest.
• In the meantime, add shrimp to the tomato sauce. Add the reserved water, stir well, and cook until shrimp is pink, about 3 minutes. Plate spaghetti and spoon the sauce on top; garnish with the remaining parsley.

Steps:

• Make the shrimp: In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper; add to the preheated pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
• Make the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, parmesan and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl to blend.
• Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, shrimp and the reserved cooking liquid, adding it 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with the salt and pepper; stir in the basil. Garnish with the fried capers and more parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• Bring a 6- to 8-quart soup pot of generously salted water to a boil.
• For the topping: In a large stainless steel skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and slightly browned but not burned. Add the breadcrumbs. Using a wooden spoon, stir the breadcrumbs to coat with the brown butter, and toast until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the chives, oregano and lemon zest. Season to taste and set aside.
• For the pasta: Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat until shimmering. Season the shrimp all over with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook for 1 minute. Turn and cook 1 more minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
• Add the garlic and shallot to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine, lemon juice, pepper flakes and oregano and simmer for 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter piece by piece, thoroughly incorporating each piece before adding the next. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Add the shrimp back to the pan and simmer until completely cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Add the capellini to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and transfer the capellini to a colander to drain. Toss the capellini with the shrimp and parsley, adding some of the pasta water if necessary to keep it moist. Transfer to a large serving bowl or into small bowls as individual servings.
• Top with herb breadcrumbs.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500.
• Put 1 1/2 pounds shrimp in the bottom of a roasting pan, and toss with olive oil and lemon juice.
• Scatter 1/4 cup bread crumbs on top, and drizzle with more oil.
• Roast, turning the shrimp once, until they're pink all over, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until it is just short of al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain.
• Meanwhile, prepare the bread crumbs: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet with sides over medium-low heat, add the panko bread crumbs, and toast, stirring frequently, until golden, about 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the crumbs to a small bowl and toss together with the pistachios, lemon zest and mint and season with flaky salt. Set aside. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
• Season the shrimp well with salt and pepper. In the skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat, add the shrimp and sauté until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes a side. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Stir in the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook for 1 more minute, making sure the garlic doesn't burn.
• Add the chicken stock, raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan and cook until reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the butter and cook until it's melted and the sauce becomes emulsified.
• Turn the heat to low, add the pasta, shrimp and parsley to the skillet and toss until glossy with sauce. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen up the sauce. Top with half the bread crumbs and a good squeeze of lemon. Serve in bowls and pass the remaining bread crumbs at the table. Drizzle with additional olive oil and season with flaky salt, if desired.
