Ingredients

  • 1 lb Wide Flat Noodle
  • 1/2 cup +1tbsp Miyokos Dairy Free “Butter””
  • 1 head Garlic
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 lbs Shrimp
  • 3-5 sausages Andouille Sausage

Instructions

  1. 1Melt down 1/2 cup of Butter on a medium low heat. You want the butter melting and having small slow bubbles. I use Miyokos Dairy Free Butter which makes this recipe Dairy Free. You can use what ever butter you like.
  2. 2Peel and clean head of garlic, slicing cloves so you have thin wide flats of garlic. This recipe is garlic heavy so if you prefer more garlic, add more!
  3. 3Add sliced garlic to melted butter. You are cooking the garlic so it becomes soft and buttery, not browning the garlic so keep heat on the low side. This will cook, low and slow, while you’re doing everything else.
  4. 4Boil salted water for pasta. I prefer a wide, flat noodle but you can use whatever pasta you have/perfer.
  5. 5Prep protein. Slice sausage on diagonal and clean/deshell shrimp if necessary. I have made this with Shrimp and Andouille Sausage as well as Shrimp and Clams. Both of which were amazing. You can use what ever you like. To make pescatarian use only seafood. To make seafood free, you can use Andouille and or cooked Chicken. To make Vegan, omit all together.
  6. 6Add all dried spices and herbs to melted butter and garlic. Stir.
  7. 7Cook noodles
  8. 8Just before pasta is finished add shrimp and andouille to seasoned garlic butter. Cook shrimp through.
  9. 9When pasta is finished cooking, drain.
  10. 10Once shrimp is cooked and sausage is heated through, Turn off heat and add in the rest of the butter. Stir
  11. 11Once the butter is melted through the seafood and garlic butter sauce, toss with pasta.
  12. 12Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over top.

Shrimp And Noodles Beat Takeout Any Night

A bag of frozen shrimp and a box of pasta will feed the whole table in about the time it takes the water to boil. Seafood cooks fast, so most of the work is the sauce, and even that comes together in one skillet.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these when they want dinner to feel a little special without a trip to the store — a Friday night, a birthday at home, or a Sunday when everybody's tired of chicken.

Every recipe here leans on shrimp, crab or lobster and a sauce worth mopping up: Cajun Seafood Pasta, Garlic Seafood Pasta with clams, Creamy tomato seafood pasta, Seafood Pasta with Arrabiata Sauce, and a cold Seafood Pasta Salad for potlucks.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Add shrimp last

    Shrimp need 2 to 3 minutes total and turn rubbery fast. Stir them into the hot sauce off the heat and let them finish there.

  2. 2

    Save the pasta water

    Scoop out 1 cup before draining. A few splashes loosen a cream or tomato sauce and help it cling to the noodles.

  3. 3

    Thaw seafood properly

    Set frozen shrimp or a seafood medley in a colander under cool running water for 5 minutes, then pat dry so it sears instead of steams.

  4. 4

    Cool pasta salad first

    Rinse the rotini in cold water and chill it at least 1 hour before dressing, or the sauce soaks in and dries out.
