Shrimp White Wine Pasta
Happy Friday!!! It’s been a typical New Orlean’s winter so far… scarf worthy weather one day and flip flop appropriate weather the next. Cory and I have no plans for the weekend and I’m looking forward to taking it easy; although, I must finish my holiday shopping.
The other night, I made my shrimp white wine pasta. I developed this recipe on a whim a few months ago. Basically, I just threw some things together without measuring anything and it turned out fabulous! The second time I made it, it was good but it wasn’t fabulous. I decided I needed to measure out the ingredients so that it can be consistently fabulous.
Ingredients
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 Tablespoon Garlic, minced
~1 pound raw Shrimp
1/4 cup White Wine
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
Whole Wheat Pasta
Directions
-Cook whole wheat pasta according to package.
-Heat olive oil in pan (I used my Wok). Add garlic and cook ~1-2 minutes. Add shrimp and cook for ~5 minutes. Add paprika and red pepper flakes while shrimp is cooking.
-Add white wine and lemon juice. Cook down for ~2 minutes.
-Add cooked pasta and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Turned out great fabulous! This is one of my favorite dishes. I served it with roasted zucchini. Did I mention this meal took less than twenty minutes to cook? I’m all about healthy, delicious, and time efficient cooking!
Do you ever cook with white wine?
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend

That recipe sounds fabulous! And I most definitely cook with wine, red or white.. Red is great in stews, and I like white for shrimp, sauteeing mushrooms. Mmm. Happy Friday!

I don’t ever use white wine when I cook, but I should. I am way too basic. I use balsamic vin., olive oil, water, and sometimes raspberry vinegaraitte, or soy sauce. I should try white wine, whne I get more room in my kitchen for numerous bottles, i will! Can’t wait.
