Summer Shrimp Pasta

9 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 Large fresh summer Tomatoes, roughly chopped. I used one red, one yellow.
  • 1 Large clove garlic, chopped fine
  • Nice fruity Olive Oil
  • handful fresh basil, shredded
  • 1 pound USA 16-20 pink shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 pound linguine
  • big handfuls freshly shredded parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Place tomatoes, garlic and basil and capers in a bowl. Add Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons olive oil over this mixture and let it sit while preparing shrimp.
  2. 2
    Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and about 2 tablespoons of salt. While water is coming to the boil, sprinkle peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat another 2-3 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add shrimp and cook them quickly - about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  3. 3
    In same skillet, with all the tasty bits from the shrimp left in there, throw in the tomato mixture and saute it for just a minute or so. You don't really want to cook the tomatoes, just heat them and rough them up a little. Add the shrimp and flip it all around. Drain the pasta, reserving about a cup of the water. Throw the pasta into the skillet and add as much pasta cooking water as needed to coat the pasta.
  4. 4
    Divide onto plates. Generously blanket with finely shredded parmesan.
