Big taste... for a shrimp
ingredients
- 1 lb. of cooked large shrimp (thawed and tails removed)
- 2 T. butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 oz.) can of diced tomatoes (I bought the tomatoes with basil, garlic & oregano)
- pinch of crushed red pepper
- salt and pepper
- 2 t. light brown sugar
- 1 c. of half and half (plus a splash more)
- 3 T. fresh parsley or 1 t. dried parsley
- 1/4 c. (heaping) of freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra cheese for topping)
- 8 oz. cooked linguine
directions
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes until fragrant
- Next add the canned tomatoes. I broke up the tomatoes in a mini food processor before adding them, I’m not a fan a big chunks of tomato, but it's not necessary.
- Add the crushed red pepper, a pinch or two of salt and the brown sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Next add the half and half and (don’t forget that extra splash) Add the parsley also.
- Bring to a slow boil and then immediately turn heat down to medium-low. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until mixture reduces by a third.
- While this is reducing, cook your linguine according to package directions.
- Lastly, add the shrimp, Parmesan cheese and a little freshly ground black pepper.
- Cover and simmer for about 3 minutes until shrimp are heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Add the linguine and simmer another 3-4 minutes.
- Serve immediately and top with some more Parmesan cheese and fresh cracked pepper.
