- Hey everyone, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com.
-
Today we're gonna make a pasta
-
that takes just 30 minutes to make.
-
It has shrimp, it has a tomato creamy sauce
-
that's creamy but light at the same time.
-
It's awesome, you guys are gonna love it.
-
So let's get started.
-
First, you'll need about three quarters pound of pasta.
-
One pound of shrimp that's been peeled,
-
medium to large shrimp is fine.
-
Couple tablespoons of olive oil.
-
Then for this amazing sauce, we're gonna need
-
some white wine, and you want that to be a drier white wine.
-
Then some butter, about six medium tomatoes,
-
some red pepper flakes to give it that extra zing,
-
some green onion, fresh green onion,
-
and then some fresh basil, and you can also use
-
a little bit of dry basil instead
-
if you don't have the fresh.
-
And then one clove of garlic.
-
We're gonna use just a half a cup of heavy cream,
-
and it's so creamy and good, it's unbelievable
-
that there's only half a cup in here.
-
And then we're gonna garnish with some cheese.
-
We're gonna start with cooking our pasta,
-
so bring a large pot of water to a boil,
-
and once it's at a boil add some salt to the water.
-
We've got about a half a tablespoon there.
-
And then drizzle the top with about
-
a tablespoon of olive oil.
-
And this really helps the pasta,
-
keeps it from sticking together.
-
So we're dumping about three quarters
-
of a pound of pasta in, and you can use
-
any kind of pasta you like.
-
You can use fettuccine, you can use spaghetti,
-
I like angel hair the most so that's what I'm using.
-
So just cook that according to the package instructions.
-
When it's done, you're gonna drain the pasta,
-
give it a quick rinse, and just set it aside
-
until you're ready to use it.
-
(sprayer running)
-
Let's get started on the shrimp.
-
This part's really quick and easy.
-
So, first you wanna preheat a large heavy-bottom skillet
-
over medium heat.
-
Then we're gonna season our shrimp
-
with a little bit of salt and pepper.
-
(salt shaking)
-
(pepper grinding)
-
Add two tablespoons of oil to your hot skillet.
-
Then add the shrimp and put those
-
in a single layer across the bottom of the pan.
-
Now shrimp are quick to make.
-
They only take about three minutes,
-
so you don't wanna overcook the shrimp
-
or they'll turn rubbery.
-
So toss the shrimp at least once in between,
-
and it should be done in about three minutes.
-
Once the shrimp are cooked, take them out of the pan
-
and set them aside.
-
Now let's move on to the creamy tomato sauce.
-
So start out by chopping your tomatoes.
-
We're gonna chop these into about dice.
-
(upbeat music)
-
Now we're gonna chop the basil and the green onion.
-
(chopping)
-
Now we're gonna add all the sauce ingredients,
-
except for the heavy cream,
-
just right into that hot skillet.
-
Start with four tablespoons of butter,
-
your chopped tomatoes, green onions, your basil.
-
Then we're gonna add in one pressed garlic clove,
-
your red pepper flakes, and your one cup of white wine.
-
And we're gonna cook that down 'til you have about
-
a fourth of a cup of liquid left in the pan.
-
(simmering)
-
(upbeat music)
-
Alright, you can see the liquid is almost evaporated.
-
Our tomatoes are nice and soft.
-
Now we can add the half a cup of heavy cream.
-
(simmering)
-
And stir in your cooked shrimp.
-
Now toss in your cooked pasta,
-
and just stir everything to combine.
-
Season with a little more salt and pepper if needed,
-
and then serve with some Parmesan.
-
Alright, and this is best hot, so serve it right away.
-
Oh goodness, this looks so good.
-
And I'm hungry, baby's hungry.
-
This little lady loves pasta, I already know it.
-
If she's anything like her mother.
-
(upbeat music)
-
'Kay, we wanna add lots of shrimp.
-
This is, after all, shrimp pasta.
-
And then we're gonna top it with tons of cheese.
-
I like to get it on there while the pasta's still hot
-
so the cheese can melt onto there.
-
Then maybe some fresh tomatoes for garnish.
-
Add some fresh basil just to pretty it up a little bit.
-
And that's it.
-
Now the taste test.
-
Alright, we're gonna start with a little bit of pasta.
-
Mm.
-
Creamy but light.
-
And then the shrimp.
-
Oh, it's wonderful.
-
The white wine just really brings everything together.
-
You guys are gonna love this pasta.
-

-
