DH was in a rush to head out & I had these lovely jumbo fresh NC shrimp I wanted to cook up. Got this on the table in 25 minutes. Shell the shrimp & prep the vegies while the water boils for pasta & the meal is just about done! Serve with crusty warm bread & green salad with balsamic vinagrette. Mmmm! ps - Buster approves! Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter |
1/3 cup olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, pressed |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
14 ounces artichokes, water-packed canned (or frozen) |
1 lb shrimp, fresh (nc or north american harvested) |
3 roma tomatoes, diced |
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
16 ounces thin spaghetti |
Directions:
1. Set water for pasta to boil.
2. In a large skillet, add butter, olive oil, pressed garlic & hot pepper to saute until garlic is fragrant, taking care not to burn garlic.
3. Using scissors, cut artichoke hearts into quarters & drop into skillet.
4. Add shrimp & saute until just turning opaque, then add tomatoes & parsley. Saute another minute while draining pasta.
5. Add contents of skillet to drained pasta in pot. Salt to taste. Toss & serve.
