Shrimp With Pasta And Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Note: if using sun-dried tomatoes in oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained oil for sauteing as described below:
• 2. See the rest of instructions @@ http://recipesnfood.com/explore-recipes/garlic-shrimp-and-sun-dried-tomatoes-with-pasta-in-spicy-creamy-sauce/

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Bring the water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt and re-boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente.
• Place the pine nuts on a cookie sheet and put in the oven for about 3 minutes, until slightly browned. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, stack the basil leaves and slice into julienne strips. Use a very sharp knife to avoid bruising the basil, causing it to turn black. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add the shrimp to the hot pan. Cook for 1 minute before turning and cooking on the other side. Add the tomatoes to the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and add the basil, garlic, red pepper, and half the pine nuts. Adjust seasoning.
• When pasta is al dente, drain and toss it in the saute pan with the shrimp/tomato/herb mixture. Divide among 4 plates and garnish each serving with the remaining pine nuts.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sauté until pink, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to medium bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to same pot. Add shallots, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, garlic, lemon peel, and crushed red pepper. Sauté until shallots are soft, about 4 minutes. Add canned tomatoes and simmer until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Mix in basil. Return shrimp and any juices to sauce; stir to heat through, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in pot of boiling salted water until tender, but still firm to bite. Drain. Add pasta to sauce. Toss over medium heat until sauce coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; top with cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler; rack should be 2 to 4 inches from heat source and the heat as high as possible.
• Put oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add thyme, garlic, tomatoes and capers. Cook just until mixture sizzles, then add stock or wine; raise heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about a minute, then add shrimp, turning them in sauce.
• Put skillet under broiler and cook until shrimp are done, 3 to 5 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, garnish with basil, and serve hot or warm.
