A Quick Way to a Taste Sensation

Like all the dishes in my cookbook, ‘The Quick Six Fix’, this dish is quick, hassle-free, super tasty and easy to make any night of the week. It is an easy go-to when you want to create a pasta dish that packs a punch, but doesn’t have you slaving over the stove for hours.

Getting the Shrimp Right

So I have added a quick checklist for your shrimp at the bottom of the recipe…check it out! Poor quality shrimp will ruin this dish, and knowing what to look for (and smell) when buying can save you a lot of worry. Personally, I have a few fishmongers that I know and trust, and I love going back them time after time as I always get the very best quality seafood from them. If you don’t have a go-to fishmonger, now might be a good time to shop around for one. Support a local business whilst getting the best quality seafood…it’s a win-win!

ANGEL HAIR, SHRIMP, TOMATOES, AND LEMON

This dish is great because the ingredients are easy to obtain and available year-round. Then there’s the flavor: The lemon zest adds a wonderful citrusy zing to the sweetness of the tomatoes, which is amped up with a bit of sugar. The shrimp adds a wonderful texture.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh BASIL, plus extra leaves for garnish

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon sugar

½ cup dry white wine

1 (28-ounce) can chopped San Marzano tomatoes

¾ pound angel hair or capellini pasta

20 uncooked large SHRIMP, peeled and deveined

½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute, then add chopped basil, oregano, lemon juice, zest, and sugar. Cook for about 1 minute longer until aromas develop.

2. Turn the heat to medium-high, add wine, and let simmer for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, stir, and let simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.

3. Meanwhile, boil water in a large pot and cook pasta for 1 minute less than the package instructs. Strain in a colander and set aside.

4. Add shrimp to the sauce and cook in the sauce for the last 3 minutes of cooking time.

5. Divide pasta among four bowls and top with sauce and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with extra basil leaves and serve.

Notes

Tip: Save time by always buying your shrimp peeled and deveined.

How to buy the best shrimp:

1. Smell it. The aroma should not be fishy. If it’s fishy, it’s old.

2. Check the texture. It should be firm, not limp.

3. To guarantee ultimate freshness, ask your fishmonger when the shrimp came in.
