I want to make a shrimp pasta dish with noodles and some kind of flavory sauce, any ideas?

Question

I have never cooked shrimp before and have a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer I want to use but have no clue how to make it or what to do, any ideas?

Answer 1

Cook the pasta separately, Let the shrimp thaw in the refrigerator. When thawed, drain the water, then rinse them and dry them on some paper toweling.

In a large skillet, melt about 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and extra virgin olive oil, Add several cloves of crushed garlic and let it warm through, add the shrimp and heat through, If the shrimp are pink they are already cooked and just need to be warmed.
Drain the pasta and toss it with the shrimp and garlic butter mixture, Sprinkle some chopped chives, or finely chopped green onion or pasley and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Answer 2

Shrimp scampi would be really easy if you have frozen shrimp. Cook some angel hair pasta. Then in a big fry pan put a stick of butter, and about 2 -3 gloves of chopped garlic. Toss in the shrimp until they are almost cooked, then add the pasta and toss all together so it has a light but flavorful sauce all over. Sprinke to top with parm. cheese and fresh basil.

Answer 3

Saute the shrimp in butter and garlic. In a separate pan fix a box of Pasta Roni. Spoon shrimp over noodles and service with salad and rolls. Very easy!

Answer 6

Just saute the shrimp until pink and add to this ...


Fettuccine with Cream, Basil and Romano
Ingredients
(4 servings)
4 ea Bacon slices; chopped thick
1/2 c Whipping cream

1 x Or:
1/3 c Basil; chopped fresh
1 x Salt and freshly ground pepp
1 x Romano; freshly grated
4 ea Green onions; chopped
1/2 c Parmesan; freshly grated
1/2 c Romano; freshly grated
1/2 lb Fettuccine
1 x Parmesan; freshly grated
Instructions
Cook bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until beginning to brown. Add green onions and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Add cream and simmer until beginning to thicken, about 1 minute. Mix in 1/2 cup Romano cheese and chopped fresh basil. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Return to hot pot. Add sauce and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, passing additional cheese separately. *** My notes: When I made this, I used 1 cup whipping cream, 1/2 cup each Parmesan and Romano, 1 tbsp dried basil, and substituted 4 or 5 thin slices of Prosciutto for the bacon- frying slightly in butter. I used about 6 ounces of "Pesto Linguini", which is a thinner pasta containing basil. We like LOTS of sauce!
