Yields 1 serving
Ingredients
8-12 each 16/20 peeled, deveined shrimp
4 oz dry capellini / angelhair pasta
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil
3 each garlic bulbs
1 each large shallot, small diced
2 tsp chili flakes
2 each lemons
¼ cup white wine
2 Tbsp capers
½ Cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ Cup seafood stock
2 oz butter, cubed
1 parmesan cheese wedge
1 sprig basil, picked
TT Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Method
Add water to a 4 quart sauce pot. Salt liberally, cover with a lid bring to a boil.
Heat a medium nonstick sauté pan on medium heat with one tablespoon of olive oil. When hot add the shallots, finely grate the garlic bulbs into the pan and sauté for 2 minutes to soften them. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook until it is almost evaporated from the pan. Add the seafood stock, chilli flakes, capers, cherry tomatoes and lemons (zested and juiced). When the sauce comes to a simmer, season the raw shrimp with salt and pepper and poach in the liquid for about 1 minute per side. Add the cubed butter to melt. Taste and season the sauce accordingly.
Meanwhile, when the pot of water begins to boil, add the pasta and use tongs or a fork to gradually push it into the seasoned water as it starts to soften. Boil the pasta, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick together, for about 3-5 minutes, or until al dente. Strain the pasta and quickly add it to the pan with the scampi sauce and cooked shrimp. Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat evenly. Finally, tear the fresh basil leaves and toss into the pasta before plating.
Plate the cooked pasta into a medium size bowl with some height. Garnish with a grating of parmesan cheese.

“Don’t get to fancy” Proceeds to cut the shallots at lightspeed with perfect form

OMG it’s so delicious! My 16 year old son hasn’t been this enthusiastic about a meal for awhile now. He told me this is his favorite dish. Thank you so much! It makes me so happy when my family love what I’ve prepared for them to eat. Definitely going to add this to our menu.

I like Gordon Ramsay. The spark of intense "for show" personality aside, he is a genuinely humble man and a remarkably gifted British chef! I love his inclusion of cook times (90s etc) and his animated and detailed narrative as the food cooks. THAT DISH LOOKS SO GOOD!!!
-
I like how he compliments himself as he works. "Beautifully done".

Gordon at petrol station: "a little drizzle of petrol, please." Station guy: fills the tank Gordon: "done. beautiful."
-
Literally say literally all the time. Beautifully done!

I learned from a not-so-renowned chef to never ever grease your boiled pasta with olive oil. The thing is pasta needs to be infused with the flavor and consistency of your sauce. If you'd grease it with oil, it won't be able to absorb it. Beautifully done with the scampi.

Ramsay just found out about the 10 minute ad revenue limit lol

If you are following this tutorial 1. Splash of olive oil = 1 cup 2. Touch of olive oil = 1/2 a cup 3. Teaspoon oil =1/3 a cup

I made this today but used some butter in the sauce and white wine instead of stock and red onions instead of challots. It turned out amazing! Never thought of using chili peppers or lemon zest, but they made the dish OMG. So good!!
-
I just made this recipe. I used regular onion instead of shallots, regular tomatoes, dried basil and no capers. Turned out really good. Lemon flavor tastes incredible with cheese, shrimp and all other vegetables. Deffo recommend, i didn't follow the recipe precisely, just used the stuff i already had, and it still was delicious.

Frank Sinatra was buried with a bottle of Whiskey. Gordon Ramsay will be buried with a bottle of Olive oil.

Fantastic recipe. I find half the joy in hosting a meal is preparing with all the shopping, finding quality ingredients, and selecting the right wine. Cooking the dishes becomes a pure pleasure when all the preparations are meticulously done!
-
Fantastic! I've done a few other recipes of yours and they came out perfect and delicious! I'm not a pro, just a guy who loves and appreciates good food! Thanks for all you do. You're the best!

MEASURING WITH GORDON RAMSAY "drizzle" = half cup "splash" = half cup "tablespoon" = half cup

Watching Gordon's videos could be a drinking game. Every time he puts in "a tablespoon" of olive oil, everyone chugs a beer. It'd be awesome!
-
My wife just said " Are you still watching these ?" ... YES I AM!! Great instructional videos even if we have to slow it down!!
