Pasta With Shrimp And Creamy Chipotle Sauce Recipes

SHRIMP PASTA WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE SAUCE RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Boil the pasta in a large sauce pan until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large frying pan on medium heat and, stirring occasionally, sauté the onions for 2 minutes or until wilted. Stir in the garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cumin. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the chipotles, shrimps, lemon juice, and half-and-half (or cream or evaporated milk). Simmer until the shrimps are just cooked through, approximately 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of shrimps used. Stir in the cilantro. Taste and correct the seasoning by adding salt, pepper, and, if needed, additional chipotle to suit your taste. Return the pasta to the sauce pan in which it was cooked, sprinkle with the grated cheese (if used), and pour the shrimp sauce over it. Toss until well blended and transfer to a serving dish. Serves 4 as a main course.

PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND CREAMY CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until slightly less than al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add fennel, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add corn and chipotles with sauce and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add shrimp; cook until just beginning to curl but not completely cooked, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Add pasta, reserved pasta water, and cream. Cook, stirring and shaking pan until pasta and shrimp are cooked through and a creamy sauce forms, 1 to 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve, garnished with fennel fronds.
