Pasta With Shrimp In Tomato Cream
Description
This elegant yet approachable pasta dish combines the sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes with the richness of heavy cream and the briny depth of vermouth. The succulent shrimp are quickly seared to retain their texture, then folded back into a reduced sauce that coats every strand of linguini. Aromatic garlic, fresh basil, and green onions add layers of flavor, while a dusting of parmesan cheese brings it all together. Perfect for a romantic dinner or a special weeknight meal, this recipe balances comfort food heartiness with sophisticated flavors. It comes together quickly, making it an ideal choice when you want a restaurant-quality meal at home without spending hours in the kitchen.Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
-
In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan, heat the oil from the dried tomatoes over medium-high heat.
-
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook, stirring often, until opaque in the center, about 6 minutes.
-
Lift the cooked shrimp out of the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
-
To the same pan, add the green onion, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, white pepper, chicken broth, vermouth, and whipping cream.
-
Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat, uncovered, and simmer until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, approximately 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, cook the linguini in the boiling water according to package directions until just tender to the bite, about 8 minutes.
-
Drain the pasta well.
-
Return the cooked shrimp to the saucepan with the sauce and stir until the shrimp are heated through.
-
Add the drained linguini to the saucepan with the shrimp and sauce.
-
Toss gently with two forks to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
-
Serve immediately, offering freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the side for individual garnishing.
