And
I bet you thought pasta and shrimp was only to be served at restaurants.
This recipe is easy, fast and can be easily modified right in
your own kitchen. By the time the pasta is cooked you can pretty
much have the entire recipe finished. Long hair pasta such as
angel hair or fettucini is a good choice. For the shrimp, use
the tiny shrimp that are frozen which you can buy at the grocery
store. |

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. |

Once pink and cooked
through, give another stir with the breadcrumbs over the pasta. |

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. |
