Shrimp Pasta...another creation going down in the books...the family says restaurant quality...I say "Thank You"...So easy and fresh tasting with the added lemon zest at the end...love having my own Meyer lemon tree growing in the yard...Can't wait to add/use fresh basil and tomatoes from the garden instead of dried and canned this summer and also make some homemade pasta instead of the store bought...should have also had some chopped fresh basil to top it off and give it some color...
1 bag of your favorite pasta
1 bag of raw shrimp de-veined and peeled
about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 stick of butter
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon or so of red chili flakes
1 teaspoon or so of Italian seasoning
1 can of diced tomatoes
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Zest of one fresh lemon
Bring your water to a boil while you are peeling your shrimp...once water is boiling add your pasta...don't forget to time it...about 10 min...heat up the olive oil and butter add the shrimp, salt, pepper, chili flakes and Italian seasoning....they cook quickly, you don't want to over cook them...you want your shrimp to be snappy...once nice and pink add the can of chopped tomatoes...let it simmer till the noodles are done...once the noodles are done strain them and add them to your shrimp...sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and zest your fresh lemon over the top...stir a little and let sit a few minuets before serving so that the pasta has time to soak up most of the juices....then serve...so easy and fast....
