Pasta with mussels and shrimp topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 350 g large shrimp
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced, plus leaves for serving
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 can (800g) canned whole plum tomatoes, hand crushed
- 350 g of campanelle pasta (or other short pasta)
- 450 g mussels, washed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
- Butterfly the shrimp:
Peel the shrimp, then use a small, sharp knife to cut it roughly three-quarters down the back. Butterfly it open, remove the gut, and set the shrimp aside.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and season with salt. Heat olive oil in another large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and reduce for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer; cook until the sauce thickens slightly, 10-12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain 0.5 cups of the pasta cooking water, then drain in a colander.
- Add the mussels to the tomato sauce, cover, and cook until they begin to open, 2-4 minutes. Add the shrimp, cover, and cook until the shrimp are cooked through and the mussels are fully open, another 2-4 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat, adding more of the pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Divide among plates; garnish with parsley and celery leaves.
