How to Make Tiger Shrimp With Pasta

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme and 4 anchovy filets, cooking until anchovies are dissolved (about 1 minute).
  4. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined tiger shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  5. Add 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes (halved if large) to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Do not overcook.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup dry white wine and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately with crusty bread and a simple salad. Enjoy!
