Shrimp Pasta
Ingredients:
1 package of shrimp (precooked) or 20 fresh shrimp cooked and shelled
7-10 Fresh Basil Leaves
3-4 Roma Tomatoes
1 cup Feta Cheese
French Green Beans (we use Trader Joe’s frozen version and love it)
1 Cup Heavy Cream
3/4 Cup grated Parmesan—Try to get a really good quality cheese. Not Kraft.
1-2 Cloves of garlic crushed
Salt and Pepper
Lemon Pepper
Olive Oil
1. Boil Fettuccine in a large post with water and a pinch of salt. Set aside
2. Sauté the shrimp and green beans with olive oil in a pan. Salt and Pepper to taste. Sprinkle Lemon Pepper to taste. Do not do this for too long, only until shrimp and beans are warm. Set aside.
3. Chop the tomatoes and basil.
4. In a saucepan combine heavy cream, garlic and parmesan. Bring to a boil while continuously whisking for about 4 minutes or until it is thick. Remove from heat.
5. Place fettuccine, shrimp, beans, tomatoes, basil, and feta in a large bowl. Add cream sauce and toss. Make sure the noodles and shrimp are evenly coated.
6. Sprinkle any additional feta, tomatoes and basil on top for presentation.
