Veggie Shrimp Fettuccine Recipes

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta, and boil according to package directions until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Strain, and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large pie pan or paper plate, and pat them with a paper towel until completely dry. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until the underside is pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, and cook until fully pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the shrimp and cooked pasta, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Scrape asparagus with a swivel-bladed vegetable scraper, starting about 2 inches from the top of each spear. Cut off any tough bottoms.
• Cut the spears on the bias at half-inch intervals. There should be about two cups. Set aside.
• Trim off the ends of the zucchini and the yellow squash. Cut each lengthwise in quarters. Cut each quarter crosswise into thin slices about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
• Peel and devein the shrimp and set aside.
• Bring enough water to the boil to cover the asparagus, zucchini and yellow squash pieces when they are added. Add salt to taste. Add the vegetables and cook 2 minutes.
• Have a saucepan ready and line it with a sieve. Pour the vegetables into the sieve and reserve both the cooking liquid and the vegetables.
• Put the cooking liquid in a saucepan and add enough water for 8 cups. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Add the pasta and let return to a boil. If the pasta is fresh, cook it about 5 minutes; if it is dried, cook about 4 minutes longer or to the desired degree of doneness. Drain the pasta and return it to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, as the pasta cooks, heat the oil and 3 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet and add the garlic and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, stirring. Add the cooked vegetables and the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 minutes. Pour in the cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and cook about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
• Pour and scrape the vegetable mixture over the pasta. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the basil. Toss and serve.
