INGREDIENTS
Angel hair or other long pasta
water
garlic chopped fine
extra virgin olive oil
parsley chopped
basil chopped
1/4 cup white wine (adjust to preference)
lemon juice
small shrimp -(the frozen ones in a bag at the store)
breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup or to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Start bringing the water to a boil in a sauce pan.
2. While the water is heating, heat about 2-3 TBLE of the olive oil in
a good size frying pan over medium heat.
3. Chop the garlic into small pieces and add to the olive oil. Give a
stir, and don't let it burn!
4. Add the breadcrumbs and fry them until a medium brown. Do not burn.
Set aside.
5. Add in the parsley, basil, wine and lemon juice, stir and cook a few
minutes.
6. At this point if the pasta water is boiling, and you are ready, add
your pasta and when finished, drain and set aside.
7. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are a nice pink color. This
happens fairly fast so keep an eye on them.
8. Once pink and cooked through, give another stir with the breadcrumbs
over the pasta.
9.Top with some
romano or parmesan cheese.
TIP #1: This dish is so simple and quick that you have
to be careful not to forget what you have going on. So if you want cook
up the pasta and toss with some olive oil to prevent sticking. Or cook
the shrimp and other ingredients first and remove from heat. Then cook
the pasta and combine.
TIP #2: The breadcrumbs will absorb the oil, so once
done with the breadcrumbs set aside.
TIP #3: If you don't have all the ingredients like the
basil or parsley, don't sweat it. Just add more garlic or do whatever
you want. Even leave out the bread crumbs if you want. See what you like
and don't like, and make it work for you!
TIP #4:
This is a good recipe for serving in a pasta
bowl if you have them.
Tip #5: Save
some of the pasta water incase the shrimp mixture becomes too dry.
