Saffron Shrimp Pasta


Saffron and seafood is always a great combination. In this recipe, our Pastamore Saffron Fettuccine is paired with fresh gulf shrimp. Sweetness is added to the dish with the fresh tomatoes and red onions. This is a quick and easy recipe that packs a serious punch of flavor.

Ingredients:
1 12 oz package - Pastamore Saffron Fettuccine
3/4 lb - shrimp
1/2 - red onion
1 lb - tomato
2 Tbsp - olive oil
1/2 tsp - oregano
1/4 tsp - garlic powder
To taste - salt and black pepper

Directions:
1. Heat a large pot of water on the stove over high heat.

2. While the water is heating, rinse tomato and remove skin and top and bottom of onion. Slice onion and dice tomato into 1/2" cubes. Heat a large pan on the stove over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil along with the tomatoes, onions, and oregano. Cook for 5-8 minutes stirring often.

3. Place the Pastamore Saffron Fettucine in the boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain using a colander and return to the cooking pot. Add the remaining olive oil and mix well.

4. Add the shrimp to the pan of tomatoes and cook until cooked throughout. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp mixture to the pot of pasta and heat until warm.
