Help - We have a bunch of shrimp and DH wants to make a Shrimp Pasta like Shells or Red Lobster.

Anyone have a site or a recipe to share?

This is our favorite pasta dish. Tonight we are having this with shrimp! We make it with either chicken or shrimp. I found this recipe in a Sam's Club buisness member publication, but I have altered the recipe a little for our taste.

Penne a la Vodka

1 pound boneless/skinless chicken breast
1/2 C olive oil
2 tsp Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Red thai chile, seeded and chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb penne pasta
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
2 Tbsp Vodka
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1/8 C fresh basil


1. Marinate the chicken in olive oil, salt, garlic, chile, and pepper in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

2. Pull out chicken to place on grill, and grill until done, and then cut into bite size pieces. Pour marinade into a skillet and saute for 4-5 minutes.

3. Add the tomatoes, butter, and bay leaves to the skillet and simmer gently for 5 minutes.

4. Add the vodka and lemon zest, bring to a boil for 1 minute.

5. Remove from the heat, add basil and set aside for 3-4 minutes.

6. Add the drained, cooked pasta, and the grilled chicken.

7. Top with Romano or Parmesean cheese (optional) and serve.

That also sounds very good. Printing it off for maybe this weekend.

DH fell in love with the seafood pasta from Shells! The problem was that we lived in Chicago at the time and only got to Florida once a year or so.

So, he wrote to Shells and asked for the recipe! We haven't made it for years, but I dug it out and we'll probably be having it for dinner in the near future. BTW, we always use a mixture of whatever seafood is easily available -- we're not as crazy about mussels and clams as we are shrimp, scallops, and crab, so we use those instead!
