Angel Shrimp

"Fantastically different dish. Delightful in summer but yummy anytime! This is excellent jazzed up with a splash of your favorite flavored liqueur (try pernod, annisette, amaretto, hazlenut or go fruity with chambord, grand marnier etc..) or even a splash of some good white wine!"

directions

  • NOTE: PLEASE READ THIS TIP FIRST: I make this even easier by chopping the mint and parsley together on a cutting board. The measurements for the mint and parsley are approximate. I don't measure I just use what looks to me like the amounts I have listed. I am always VERY close when I measure that way. Please use what looks right to you, using these measurements as a guide.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with the mint, parsley, extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and keep warm.
  • Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet and add shrimp. Cook for 3 minutes stirring often ~ OR GRILL~ just follow same guidelines and grill over a hot grill until shrimp are pink. They cook fast! Do not overcook!
  • Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  • Toss shrimp with prepared pasta and serve with fresh cracked black pepper. Also great garnished with some freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  • Don't forget to imbibe in the remaining alcohol if you are adding it to this dish!

  2. Everyone at my house slurped this dish up. I loved the mint and parsley combination and the ease of the preparation! Definitely a winner. I used white wine in the preparation. Made for Beverage Tag.
     
  3. Very easy and I enjoyed the unusual combination of the mint with the shrimp. I added a little amaretto to the shrimp and it gave it a slightly sweet flavor. Thank you Mama!
