Shrimp Penne a la Vodka




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced oregano
1 tablespoon minced thyme
2 tablespoons chopped basil
4 large tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 cup vodka
1 cup heavy cream
1 pound medium shrimp (35 to 40 per pound), peeled and deveined, or precooked cocktail shrimp, thawed and peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Recipe



1 pound dried penne, cooked according to the package instructions, drained, rinsed, covered, and kept warm
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic, oregano, thyme and basil; stir for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, stir well, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes have broken down and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the vodka. (By removing the pan from the heat, you reduce the chance that the alcohol will flame. If the vodka does flame, simply place the lid over the pan to put out the flame.) Stir until the vodka is well incorporated with the tomato mixture.
Place the pan back over medium heat and add the cream. When the sauce comes to a simmer, add the raw shrimp, if using, and cook, stirring constantly, until pink and firm, about 2 minutes. If using precooked shrimp, simply allow them to heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
