Conchilie pasta with shrimp, tomatoes and basil oil

Ingredients

  • 220g Norso shrimp, cooked, peeled, cleaned, and chilled

  • 150g conchiglie pasta (shells)

  • 10 cherry tomatoes (halved)

  • 1/2 cup black olives (e.g., Kalamata, halved)

  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)

  • 1/2 handful fresh basil

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

Basil oil:

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 bunch fresh basil

  • 1/2 clove garlic

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Recipe instructions

Preparing the Shrimps

  1. Norso's cooked, peeled, cleaned, and cooled shrimp are ready to use. Drain them and, if large, cut them into smaller pieces.

  2. Optional: sprinkle the shrimp with lemon juice and a little olive oil.

Basil Olive Oil

  1. In a small blender or mortar, blend/pound the basil leaves, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until you obtain an intensely green, aromatic oil.

Pasta

  1. Boil the Konchilie pastaal denteaccording to the instructions on the packaging.

  2. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water.

Combining Ingredients

  1. Pour a little olive oil into a large frying pan. Add the red onion slices and sauté briefly until softened.

  2. Add the Konchilie pasta, chopped cherry tomatoes and olives.

  3. Add the shrimp (since they are already cooked, add them at the end, just to heat through).

  4. Add the chili flakes and mix. If the pasta is too dry, add a little of the reserved cooking water.

Serving

  1. Transfer the pasta with the ingredients to a bowl.

  2. Drizzle the dish generously with the prepared Basil Oil.

  3. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

 

Chef's Tip: Instead of olives, you can use sun-dried tomatoes in brine if you prefer. Remember to add the Parmesan cheese on the plate so it doesn't overpower the delicate flavor of the basil.
