How to Make Bennigan S Ale House Shrimp And Pasta
- Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup chopped onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 1/2 cup ale (such as Guinness or a similar dark ale), 1 cup white sauce (recipe below), and 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 pound cooked shrimp and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
