Shrimp And Olive Pasta Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water; drain.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat until most of fat is rendered but bacon is still pliable, about 4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, rosemary, olives, and 1 tablespoon oil; cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they collapse and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup pasta water and shrimp. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in pasta and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add more pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until pasta is evenly coated. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with cheese, and serve.

• Prepare spaghetti according to package directions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid. Transfer to a large bowl or platter.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp; cook, stirring, until just pink, about 1 minute. Stir in olives and white wine; heat to a simmer, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove shrimp from skillet with tongs; place on hot pasta. Add the reserved pasta water to the skillet; heat until slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pour sauce over pasta and shrimp; add chopped parsley. Toss to combine.
