Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package dried penne pasta
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups fish stock
2 cups dry white wine
¼ cup dry vermouth
2 pounds large uncooked shrimp, peeled
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in penne pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the shallot and garlic until tender. Pour in the fish stock, white wine, and vermouth, and simmer 15 minutes, or until reduced to a thick golden glaze.
  • Place the shrimp and butter into the skillet. Cover, and cook 5 minutes over low heat, until shrimp are opaque.
  • Mix the cooked penne pasta into the skillet, and gently toss with the shrimp and glaze. Top with parsley, Parmesan cheese, and pepper to serve.
