Do You Put Cheese On Seafood Pasta? Recipe

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.

2. 2

   Season the rock shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large, straight-sided saute pan, heat the 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp and sear on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes a side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate. Add the jalapeno(s) and garlic to the pan; saute for about 3 minutes, until they soften. Add the cherry tomato puree; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Simmer over low heat, until the tomato puree has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the fettuccine to the boiling water. Cook for 1 minute less than the package directions instruct, then drain in a colander, reserving about 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Add the fettuccine and the cooking liquid to the pan of simmering tomato puree; increase heat to medium. Return shrimp to pan; toss to combine. Crumble the feta into the pan; continue to gently stir pasta and sauce for about 1 minute more. Taste to see if the mixture needs more salt (the saltiness of the feta can vary).

4. 4

   Serve the pasta in four wide, shallow bowls with drizzle of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil over the top of each serving along with some freshly ground black pepper.
