Pasta Salad with Vegetables and Shellfish
For this recipe, we will be using mushrooms, zucchini, and shrimp as our main ingredients. The process is simple, so don't worry if you're not an experienced chef. Plus, the cost is affordable, making it a great option for those on a budget. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
- 300 g of pasta
- 150 g of champignon mushrooms
- 2 zucchini
- garlic
- 15 shrimp
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- salt
- extra virgin olive oil
- 150 ml of white wine
Procedure:
1. Start by thoroughly washing the vegetables. Cut the zucchini into small pieces or finely chop them. Similarly, prepare the mushrooms by removing any dirt or soil.
2. In a wide pan, heat some olive oil and add garlic. Then, add the zucchini and mushrooms to the pan and sprinkle them with a little salt. Sauté the vegetables for a few minutes to maintain their crispiness, and then set them aside to cool.
3. Using the same pan, add a little more oil and another clove of garlic. Cook the shrimp together with the white wine, allowing the alcohol to evaporate. If needed, season the shrimp with salt, but be careful not to overdo it. Set aside to cool.
4. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, making sure to leave it al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and place it in a large bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, shrimp, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss everything together.
5. If desired, sprinkle the dish with a little pepper for some added flavor. Alternatively, you can leave it as it is for a more mild taste.
And there you have it! Your salad pasta with vegetables and shellfish is ready to be enjoyed. Serve it cold for a refreshing and satisfying meal. Whether you're hosting a summer gathering or simply treating yourself, this dish is sure to impress. Bon appétit!
