Makes 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Ready in: 30 Minutes
Ingredients
8 ounces angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 1/2 cups champagne
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in
boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan. Cook
and stir mushrooms in oil until tender. Remove mushrooms from pan, and set
aside.
3. Combine shrimp, champagne, and salt in the frying pan, and cook over
high heat. When liquid just begins to boil, remove shrimp from pan. Add
shallots and tomatoes to champagne; boil until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup,
about 8 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup cream; boil until slightly thick, about 1
to 2 minutes. Add shrimp and mushrooms to sauce, and heat through. Adjust
seasonings to taste.
4. Toss hot, cooked pasta with remaining 1/4 cup cream and parsley. To
serve, spoon shrimp with sauce over pasta, and top with Parmesan cheese.
