Ingredientes:
Para los Camarones:
- 1 libra de camarones grandes, pelados y desvenados
- 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva
- 2 dientes de ajo, picados
- ½ cucharadita de pimentón
- ½ cucharadita de sal
- ¼ cucharadita de pimienta negra
- Jugo de ½ limón
Para la Pasta y la Salsa:
- 8 onzas de pasta fettuccine o linguini
- 2 cucharadas de mantequilla sin sal
- 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva
- 3 dientes de ajo, picados
- 1 taza de tomates cherry, cortados a la mitad
- 1 ½ tazas de crema espesa
- ½ taza de queso parmesano, rallado
- 1 taza de espinacas frescas o hojas de albahaca
- Sal y pimienta, al gusto
Instrucciones:
- Cocinar la Pasta:
- Lleva a ebullición una olla grande con agua salada y cocina la pasta según las instrucciones del paquete hasta que esté al dente.
- Reserva ½ taza del agua de la pasta, luego escurre la pasta y déjala a un lado.
- Preparar los Camarones:
- Sazona los camarones con pimentón, sal, pimienta negra y jugo de limón.
- Calienta 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva en una sartén grande a fuego medio-alto.
- Añade los camarones y el ajo. Saltea durante 2-3 minutos por cada lado, o hasta que los camarones estén rosados y cocidos. Retira los camarones y déjalos a un lado.
- Preparar la Salsa Cremosa:
- En la misma sartén, derrite la mantequilla con el aceite de oliva a fuego medio.
- Añade el ajo y los tomates cherry. Saltea durante 2-3 minutos hasta que los tomates se ablanden ligeramente.
- Vierte la crema espesa y revuelve para combinar. Deja que la salsa hierva a fuego lento durante 3-4 minutos hasta que espese ligeramente.
- Incorpora el queso parmesano rallado y sazona con sal y pimienta.
- Combinar la Pasta y los Camarones:
- Añade la pasta cocida a la sartén, mezclándola con la salsa cremosa. Si la salsa está muy espesa, añade el agua de la pasta reservada poco a poco hasta alcanzar la consistencia deseada.
- Añade las espinacas (o albahaca) y los camarones cocidos. Deja que la espinaca se marchite durante 1-2 minutos.
- Servir:
- Divide la pasta en platos o cuencos. Decora con más queso parmesano y albahaca fresca para adornar.
- Sirve caliente con pan de ajo y un chorrito de limón para un toque de frescura adicional.
Consejos:
- Agua de la pasta: Añadir agua de la pasta reservada ayuda a que la salsa se adhiera a la pasta y crea una textura sedosa.
- Camarones: Evita cocinar en exceso los camarones para mantenerlos tiernos y jugosos.
- Añadidos: Agrega champiñones, tomates secos o guisantes para extra sabor y textura.
Sugerencias para Servir:
- Acompaña esta pasta cremosa de camarones con una copa de Chardonnay o un Pinot Grigio ligero.
