How to Make Shrimp Trinity With Parmesan Peppered Cream Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers (1/2 red, 1/2 yellow), 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Sauté gently for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 cup chopped prosciutto. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Carefully pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio). Cook until the liquid has nearly evaporated (about 3-4 minutes).
- Remove the trinity mixture from the pan and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same pan. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined).
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Do not overcook! Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons butter, and the reserved trinity mixture.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until the sauce slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add 8 ounces angel hair pasta.
- Cook according to package directions (about 4 minutes), until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- Toss the drained pasta with some of the reserved pasta water and cover to keep warm.
- Stir in 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil into the cream sauce.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Add the cooked shrimp to the sauce and gently heat through (do not overcook).
- Serve the angel hair pasta on plates, spooning the sauce and shrimp over the pasta. Top with extra freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of chopped fresh basil.
