No new recipes have been posted in a while and I felt the need to post one , just in case you like shrimp.
Makes 4-6 servings
4 Tab. butter
1 small onion , diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tab. basic basil pesto ( optional , I don't use it )
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes , julienned
1 lb. fresh peeled shrimp ( you can use 1 1/2 or 2 pounds , I like shrimp)
1 tea. sea salt (regular salt will do )
1/2 tea. ground black pepper
1 tea. dried oregano
1 tea. dried thyme
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese...don't skimp on cheese
12 ozs. cooked pasta...... Angle Hair or Linguine are my favorites .
1.) In a 6 to 8 quart dutch oven melt butter over med. heat.
2.) Saute onion and garlic until clear.
3.) Stir in heavy cream and optional pesto , bring to a simmer.
4.) Add sun dried tomatoes and shrimp .
5.) Stir in salt , pepper, oregano and thyme. Simmer for 8 mins. or until shrimp are just turning pink and sauce begins to thicken slightly .
6.) Gently fold in Parmesan cheese until melted.
7.) Spoon shrimp and sauce over pasta , garnish with extra fresh grated cheese and serve , with hot garlic bread .
For those who like pesto :
BASIC BASIL PESTO
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 Tab. chopped pine nuts
1 clove garlic .
1/4 tea. salt
1/8 tea. black pepper
2 Tab. Olive Oil
Pulse the first 5 ingredients in a small food processor to chop .
With processor running drizzle in olive oil until mixture is emulsified or evenly incorporated. Place in container with tight lid.
Can be stored in refg. for up to two weeks.
This shrimp dish is one of my favorites. You can jack it up with the addition of crab meat , crawfish and/or oysters . A local restaurant puts all 4 in and calls it Seafood Pasta with Cream Sauce....I order it whenever I go there .
Feel free to kick it up a notch with some spicy Creole seasoning , plain old salt and pepper is so boring : so use this .
BASIC CREOLE SEASONING ( Emeril's Essence)
2 1/2 TAB. sweet paprika
2 Tab. salt
2 Tab. garlic powder
1 Tab black pepper
1 Tab. cayenne pepper
1 Tab dried oregano
1 Tab dried thyme
Use 2 1/2 tea. , or to taste , in the garlic shrimp pasta recipe.
Now lets go get some shrimp !
