Shrimp Scampi Pasta Two Ways — Beginner and Expert
Although scampi technically refers to a type of crayfish that's popular in the Adriatic, in the United States, the word has come to mean a garlicky, sautéed shrimp dish often served with pasta. Regardless of whether or not the term "shrimp scampi" is being used correctly, the Italian-American staple, with its pungent aroma, slippery pasta, and succulent, tail-on shrimp, is worth making.
For a main course that requires minimal effort, stick to tried-and-true Mediterranean flavors like garlic and rosemary.
Monday's Leftovers: Summer Shrimp Pasta
If you have any leftover shrimp or scallops from last night's bbq, then tonight's dinner is going to be a snap. The leftover seafood becomes part of a fantastic no-cook sauce allowing you to whip up dinner in the time it takes to make a pot of pasta. The shrimp also pairs nicely with the flavors from the tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers and parmesan.
Celebrate Spring With Asparagus and Shrimp Pasta
With the farmers market now overflowing with verdant vegetables, it's easy for me to drop a pretty penny on produce like Spring onions and English peas.
Case in point: the other day, I bought just a little too much asparagus, reasoning I'd figure out a way to prepare it that would highlight its freshness.
Later that day, I emerged with a casual linguine toss with shrimp, asparagus, and basil that's perfect for every occasion, from a romantic meal to entertaining a dinner party crowd.

Gail and Tom Reveal Details From Top Chef Vegas
At the beginning of every Top Chef episode, Padma Lakshmi reminds viewers that the winner will make a special appearance at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, so it's no surprise that much of the events at the festival are devoted to all things Top Chef.
