Print Page
2 lb fresh shrimp, cleaned and deveined, and butterflied
1 lb angel hair pasta
2 fresh diced tomato
6 -8 whole garlic cloves
1 shallot, diced
1 pint heavy cream
1 cup dry white wine
olive oil
5 -7 leaves fresh basil
1 cup parmesan cheese, finely shaved
For the coating for the shrimp:
milk
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely shaved
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
14 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
Pour
enough olive oil in a large sauce pan to cover the bottom, turn to
medium high heat. This is the only pot you'll need for the sauce so it
should be big. Soak the shrimp in milk and combine the dry ingredients
(flour, cheese, salt, pepper, paprika). Coat the shrimp with the dry
ingredients and let them fry in the olive oil, About 2 minutes per side
until golden brown. The Flour that falls off the shrimp will add great
flavor and consistency to the sauce. Add more oil as necessary, between
batches of shrimp. Dab the shrimp with a paper towel, cover and set
aside to keep warm.
Add
the garlic to the oil, stir for a few minutes, then turn the heat to
medium low. Now add the wine and bring it to a boil. Then turn the heat
to low and cover, let the wine reduce, about 10-15 minutes.
In a separate pot, bring water to simmer. (for pasta later).
Add
the cream, and bring it back to a boil, turn heat to low and simmer for
10 more minutes. While it is simmering dice your shallot and tomato,
and chiffonade your basil. Now add the Basil, diced tomato, and
remaining Parmesan cheese. Stir for a moment then add the fried shrimp,
and remove the pan from heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Bring pasta pot to a boil and add angel hair and cook.
