Shrimp Aglio E Olio Recipes

EASY SHRIMP AGLIO E OLIO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente.
• Heat a large frying pan/skillet over medium-high heat then add the oil and garlic.
• Add the chilli flakes and toast until the garlic starts to turn golden.
• Add the shrimp and cook until pale pink and opaque throughout. Season with salt and pepper and add lemon juice. Add a few tablespoons of the pasta's cooking water and remove from the heat.
• Once the pasta is cooked, carefully transfer the cooked spaghetti to the pan with the shrimp with a pair of tongs. Add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water and toss to emulsify.
• Add the Parmesan and parsley and continue tossing until the pasta is well coated. At this point, you can add more water if you think the pasta needs a little extra sauciness. Taste and season to taste if necessary then serve with extra Parmesan.

LINGUINE AGLIO E OLIO WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the shrimp marinade: Add the shrimp, oil, garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes and salt to a medium bowl and mix to combine.
• For the breadcrumb topping: Add the olive oil, breadcrumbs and salt to a medium skillet and cook over medium-low heat until lightly golden brown, tossing the breadcrumbs constantly, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley and toss to combine for another 30 seconds. Remove to a plate so that the breadcrumbs do not continue cooking.
• For the pasta: Salt the water and start boiling the linguine (cook it 80 percent of the way, if the directions say boil for 10 minutes, boil for 8 minutes as you will finish cooking it in the sauce). At the same time add the oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and lower to medium-low heat so that the garlic sizzles gently (the garlic should not change color, if it does, it means the heat is too high and you will have a bitter burnt garlic taste and should start over).
• When the edges of the garlic are just starting to brown, add the shrimp with the marinade and a pinch of salt and cook the shrimp until it is no longer opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup pasta water and remove the shrimp to a bowl to prevent overcooking. Keep cooking and shaking the pan to create an emulsion (when fat suspends in water, oil and water forms a smooth bond).
• When the pasta is cooked, add it to the skillet and toss to combine. Add some pasta water if the pasta needs to cook slightly longer, otherwise toss in the parsley and stir until well incorporated. Serve on plates immediately and top with the breadcrumbs.

SPICY SHRIMP AND SPAGHETTI AGLIO OLIO (GARLIC AND OIL)

Steps:

• Combine shrimp with next 6 ingredients and toss to coat shrimp evenly.
• Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add half of the shrimp. Cook shrimp 3 minutes until pink and just firm. Remove shrimp to a warm platter and repeat process with remaining shrimp.
• Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium low. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add anchovies, garlic, and pepper flakes to oil. Break up anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture.
• Toss spaghetti in the pan with parsley and the garlic oil, then season with a little coarse salt, to your taste. Top servings of garlic and oil spaghetti with spicy shrimp and serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Crusty Bread.
• Prep your garlic and parsley for aglio olio and set them, as well as drained pasta and remaining ingredients all within arm's reach of your stove top.
• The aroma will be intense! Cooked anchovies have a salted-nutty (rather than fishy) taste that compliments the garlic as it sweetens and softens.
• Toss the tomatoes and onions with the chopped parsley, oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand while you prepare dinner, about 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve salad with crusty bread for mopping up juices and oil.

Add about 1/3 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and add it to the saute pan. Turn up the heat slightly and let cook to thicken the sauce, about 1 minute. Add the herbs, reserving about a teaspoon of each for garnish. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with the reserved herbs.
