After throwing some ingredients together for tapas, the flavor was so fresh and light my family asked for more. By warming it through with a few more ingredients I turned it into a family meal with pasta instead of just a snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 package linguine pasta , 16 ounce
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning
  • 0.5 cups butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 0.33 cups diced red onion
  • 0.33 cups diced sweet red bell pepper
  • 0.5 cups canned whole kernel corn , drained
  • 1.5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon canned chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce , finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 cups half-and-half

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

  2. 2

    Place shrimp and crab boil into a large saucepan. Fill with water to 1 inch above the shrimp, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 3 minutes until shrimp turn pink, then drain.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, and red onion, cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in bell pepper, corn, lime juice, cilantro, oregano, chipotle pepper, and salt. Stir in the half-and-half, and bring to a simmer. Once the mixture is simmering, stir in shrimp, and toss with the drained pasta.
