Shrimp Pasta
Description
This Shrimp Pasta uses peeled and deveined shrimp seasoned with a dry rub including smoked paprika to bring out smoky and warm flavor notes. The pasta is cooked al dente and set aside while the shrimp cooks quickly in olive oil along with fragrant minced garlic and diced tomato to form a light sauce. Adding beer or white wine deglazes the pan and adds subtle acidity and complexity to the dish.
The shrimp turns opaque when done, combined with fresh chopped parsley to brighten the flavor. The pasta is then tossed in the pan to coat with the shrimp and sauce, offering a balanced mixture of textures and flavors. The overall result is a moderately spiced pasta with tender shrimp and a mild, complementary sauce.
This pasta works well as a straightforward main course dinner. It pairs with simple sides or a green salad and can be served immediately to maintain the shrimp's tenderness and freshness.
Ingredients
- 12 oz (350g) spaghetti
- 1 lb (500g) Shrimp peeled and deveined, tail-on preferred
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dry rub or 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, homemade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tomato diced
- 1 cup beer or white wine or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the meantime, rinse the shrimp under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels and season with homemade dry rub. Heat a skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the garlic until aromatic but not browned, then add the tomatoes and shrimp. Stir to combine well.
- As soon as the shrimp turns opaque, add the beer or white wine. Bring the mixture to a quick boil, and when the shrimp is cooked through, turn off the heat and add the parsley.
- Add the spaghetti and stir to combine well with the shrimp and the sauce. Serve immediately.
