CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI

Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine or broth, salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, 2 to 4 minutes depending upon their size. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and serve over pasta or accompanied by crusty bread.

ITALIAN AMERICAN SHRIMP

Vegetables are often used together with fish in traditional Italian cooking. This recipe is over the top and seems to have every available vegetable cooked with shrimp; to me it resembles jambalaya without the chicken and sausages, and it is great served over steamed rice or pasta.

Steps:

  • Pour the olive oil into a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, let sizzle for a minute, then add the celery and carrot. Cook and stir until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes, then slosh out the can with 1 cup hot water and add that as well. Season the sauce with the oregano and peperoncino, bring to a rapid simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Toss the scallions, mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper, and salt into the pot. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and cook until the sauce is thickened and the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes more.
  • Stir in the shrimp. Simmer until they are pink and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the basil, and serve as I like to do, over rice, pasta, or even polenta.

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 stalk celery, cut into 2-by-1/2-inch strips
1 large carrot, cut into 2-by-1/2-inch strips
28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, preferably San Marzano, crushed by hand
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon peperoncino flakes
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and chopped
8 large cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 medium zucchini, cut into 2-by-1/2-inch strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-by-1/2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, shredded
