Shrimp , French yellow beans , red peppers & purple basil + low carb spinach pasta – 20 minutes to prepare, so fresh & tasty
Recipe:
Ingredients:
– spring onions
– garlic
– sweet red peppers
– French yellow/green beans
– purple basil from @alo_farms
– wild caught shrimp from @bestseafooddirect
– spinach tagliatelle low carb pasta
– EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
– 1-2 tbsp butter (optional)
– 1/2 fresh lemon
– @thislittlegoat Went to Cuba spice mix (for the shrimp)
– kosher/sea salt
– black pepper
– Parmesan or Asiago cheese
Start by cooking the pasta per instructions since this will be the longest step. When pasta is ready, drain, then add back to pot & drizzle lightly with a little EVOO. Cover & set aside.
Peel, clean & pat dry the shrimp. Clean, trim & cut into thirds the yellow beans. Clean & slice the spring onion on the bias. Finely chop 3-4 cloves of garlic. Clean & chop 1/2-1/3 sweet red pepper. Gently rinse, pat dry & chop the basil.
In a sauté pan, over medium heat, add EVOO. Sauté the white part of the spring onions, just until they start turning a little translucent, then add the beans, red peppers & the garlic. Season with salt & pepper. Cook for approx. 3-5 minutes until beans start softening but still have some crunch. Squeeze a splash of lemon juice over the beans & add the green part of the spring onions & some basil. Toss & throw in pot with the drained spinach pasta. Cover & set aside.
Next cook the shrimp in the same pan you made the green beans. Season the shrimp well on both sides with @thislittlegoat Went to Cuba spice mix & kosher salt. Add more EVOO to the pan & cook shrimp 2-3 minutes on each side over medium/medium-high heat.
As soon as shrimp are done, squeeze a splash of lemon, add the butter (optional) & pour all into pasta pot. Add more fresh basil, to taste. Gently mix the ingredients, taste & season more, if needed (lemon juice, salt, black pepper, or spice mix).
Plate the pasta, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan or Asiago cheese & more basil.
Enjoy!
