minutesIngredients
1 lb 1 linguine, spaghetti, fettuccini, or angel hair pasta
1 1/2 lbs 1 1/2 shrimp, peeled and deveined, shells reserved
2 tsp 2 kosher salt, divided
1 (28 oz) can 1 whole tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
3 tbsp 3 olive oil, divided
1 cup 1 dry white wine
6 cloves 6 minced garlic
2 tsp 2 red pepper flakes
1 tsp 1 dried oregano
2 2 anchovy fillets, chopped
1/2 tsp 1/2 freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup 1/4 fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup 1/4 fresh parsley, chopped
4 4 pepperoncini peppers, pickled, stemmed and seeded, and chopped
2 tsp 2 pepperoncini pepper brine, from the bottle
2 tsp 2 extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, following packaging instructions.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the shrimp and set aside.
- Pour tomatoes into a colander set over a large bowl. Squeeze the tomatoes with your hands to break them apart and release their juice. Transfer the drained tomatoes to a small bowl. Set the reserved juice aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add shrimp shells and cook, stirring frequently, until they start to slightly brown, about 4 minutes.
- Carefully add the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until liquid has reduced somewhat, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add reserved tomato juice and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour contents of the skillet into a colander set over a large bowl and press on the shells with the back of a wooden spoon. Discard shells and set the bowl with the tomato/shrimp stock sauce to the side.
- Wipe out the skillet with paper towels. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet.
- Add garlic, pepper flakes, and oregano over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add anchovies and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute more.
- Add reserved tomato juice mixture and bring to a simmer. Add in the tomatoes and simmer for another 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened a little further. Stir in 1 tsp of salt and ½ tsp black pepper.
- Add shrimp to skillet and simmer gently, stirring frequently, until they are pink, curled, and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat. Stir in basil, parsley, chopped pepperoncini, and brine.
- Drain pasta and transfer to a serving bowl. Pour sauce over the top and drizzle with olive oil and garnish with extra parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This dish is also great with a variety of seafood, including mussels, clams, scallops, and calamari
