Instructions
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to boil. Cook pasta just until almost al-dente (a minute shy of package instructions for al dente.) Drain well and toss with a sprinkle or two of olive oil to prevent sticking (only need to do this if pasta is done before the shrimp/sauce mixture.)
- While pasta is cooking: Heat 3 TB olive oil and 1 TB butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes, stirring. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring 1 minute.
- Toss Old Bay with shrimp - be sure excess moisture has been dried off shrimp first. Add to skillet and stir 2 minutes or just until shrimp turns opaque. Do not over-cook the shrimp. Transfer shrimp mixture to a bowl; keep warm.
- Add wine, lemon juice, and diced tomatoes with juices to skillet. Bring to a boil. Add remaining 1 TB olive oil and 3 TB butter, stirring to combine well. Return shrimp mixture to skillet and stir to combine.
- Add cooked pasta, basil, and parsley to combine. Add kosher salt (approx 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp) and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan.
Notes
- A crisp, dry white wine such as sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio will work well; be sure to choose a good quality one that you'd drink with this dish, as the flavors are better when using a good wine.
- If you need to, you can substitute the wine for chicken broth; note that flavors will be a bit altered if this substitution is made.
- Frozen shrimp should be fully defrosted; use a colander to drain excess water. Be sure to pat dry really well with clean paper towels before using shrimp, as excess moisture will negatively affect the flavor.
