Fettuccine With Shrimp & Garlic

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 large garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup dry wine
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
• 8 ounces dried fettuccine
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Recipe

• 1 bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta.
• 2 in a large skillet over low heat, combine the olive oil and garlic. cook gently, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to turn golden, 2 to 4 minutes; do not let it brown.
• 3 add the shrimp and zest; season with salt and pepper. raise the heat to medium high and sear the shrimp quickly just until they turn bright pink, about 1 minute on each side -- they don't need to be cooked through at this point.
• 4 add the wine and let it simmer for 1 minute. stir in the tomatoes and cook until heated through. set aside and keep warm if the pasta is not yet ready.
• 5 meanwhile, cook the pasta until a dente. reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water and then drain the pasta, leaving drops of water clinging to it. add the pasta and half of the reserved cooking liquid to the skillet.
• 6 gently simmer for a few minutes so the flavors meld and the pasta can soak up the sauce. stir in the parsley, taste for salt and pepper, and serve warm with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
