Shrimp Pasta in a Rosé Sauce
Description
The recipe starts by cooking fettuccine until al dente while preparing a sauce by sautéing shallots in butter and olive oil. White wine, garlic, Dijon mustard, diced tomatoes, and Italian seasoning are added and cooked together before incorporating heavy cream to create a rosé-colored sauce. The sauce simmers until slightly thickened to concentrate flavors.
Large shrimp are then cooked in the sauce along with torn basil leaves for herbaceous notes. Finally, the cooked pasta is tossed into the skillet, absorbing the creamy, tomato-infused sauce. A finishing touch of freshly grated Parmesan adds a salty, nutty layer.
This shrimp pasta presents a balance of textures with juicy shrimp and tender noodles, enveloped in a rich, slightly tangy sauce. It works well as a standalone entrée or paired with a light salad or crusty bread to complete the meal.
Ingredients
- Shrimp 1/2 pound; large shrimp used
- 4 ounces fettuccine uncooked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 shallot
- 1/3 cup white wine dry
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 diced tomatoes with juices, 14 fluid ounce can
- Pinch Italian seasoning
- 1 cup heavy cream aka whipping cream
- 10 basil torn, large leaves
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated or shaved, to taste
Instructions
- If shrimp are frozen, run them under cool water until thawed. Peel and devein.
- Boil a large pot of salted water and cook fettuccine according to package directions.
- Chop shallot finely. Add butter, oil, and shallot to a skillet on medium heat.
- Cook shallot for about five minutes and then add the wine, garlic, Dijon mustard, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and cook for a few minutes.
- Stir in the cream and salt and pepper and then simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce the sauce (you may need to turn it down to medium-low heat if it starts to bubble a lot).
- Add in the shrimp and torn basil and cook for another five minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the skillet and toss with the sauce. Serve immediately with fresh parmesan cheese.
