Equipment
- 1 large saucepan
- 1 large pot
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb pasta
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 4 anchovy filets, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ¼ cup parmesan
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder on a plate. Toss shrimp in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then dredge in the flour mixture.
- In a large pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil and bring to medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, arrange the shrimp in the pan, leaving space in between each shrimp, and fry on each side for 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip the shrimp so that the batter does not fall off. Fry the shrimp in batches and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and give the pan time to lower in heat. Add butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil and allow the butter to melt and the foam to dissipate. Add shallot and anchovies and saute for 4 minutes, until the anchovies are almost melted. Then add garlic and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper and saute for another 2 minutes.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and boil spaghetti or angel hair until al dente.
- Squeeze in lemon juice and reduce until the lemon thickens and your spoon leaves a trail when you drag it through, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth to the pan. Bring it to a simmer, stirring often. Let the sauce reduce and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the sauce. Strain the pasta and add the pasta and fresh parsley to the sauce. Stir and combine well. Serve with fresh parmesan.
Notes
- The shrimp are lightly battered, so gently flip them to make sure they don't lose their batter.
- Cook the sauce in the same pan you fried the shrimp to gather up all the delicious fond from the fried shrimp.
