All right people we all have those days when you get home from work the wife might not be in a good mood the kids are being loud and the last thing you want to do is slave in the kitchen for an hour or two I have just a cure for that

Today I’m going to show you this delicious pasta meal that comes together in 30 minutes or less meet me in the kitchen let’s make it happen all right first things first we’re going to go ahead and prep our shrimp now I know I said this is 30 minutes or less so you

Might want to buy the peeled and devain shrimp already if you’re pressed for time this is what I had in the freezer that’s what we’re using today so we’re going to go ahead and break these down we’re going to peel them and divain them make sure they’re nice and clean these

Have the tail on the shell on all that good stuff so if you’re a pro you’re from the DMV area you peeled a lot of shrimp you should be able to execute this in one to two moves you can peel the whole shrimp just like that and then

I’ll show you guys how to devain it I like to pinch the tail pull that off grab the body that’s a three move right there that’s not very impressive but we got it done pinch the tail pull it do the same thing with the shell just repeat that process make sure all your

Shrimp are peeled then we’ll get to the deining process to make sure they’re nice and clean so once they’re peeled we’re going to go ahead and devain them for that you want a nice sharp pairing knife take the back of the shrimp with the blade of your knife and just cut

Down the back there depending on how you know how big the vein is you may be able to see it right out the gate like this here sometimes they’re a little bit more hidden and you got to do a little bit more work but we’ll just go

Ahead and remove the vein then we’re going to rinse them under some cold water just make sure we get them nice and clean all the way through the bottom side that’s not actually uh the intestinal tract some people devain both sides not quite sure why um the bottom

Side is not the intestinal tract no real sanitary reason to devain that but if you want to do it whatever floats your boat but again it’s one of those days we got to make this real quick and uh ain’t nobody got time for that so go ahead and

De these get them nice and clean and then we’ll get to the rest of our prep all right so once the shrimp are squeaky clean we’re going to go ahead and add them to a bowl with some paper towels you want to get them nice and dry

Otherwise they kind of get water logged a little bit they don’t really get that nice vibrant color when you go to cook them they can be a little bit more soggy that way too so I like to dry them before we season and definitely before

You cook so let’s get in there with some paper towels get them as dry as you can we’ll hit them with a little oil and then season them up all right now that they’re dry we’re going to hit them with about a tablespoon of olive oil and

We’re going in with the blend of allpurpose seasoning and my Lemon Bay for those you at home that don’t have my products no big deal use whatever your favorite allpurpose seasoning is and maybe some Old Bay or Tony’s Creole seasoning whatever you like on Seafood

Would be just fine this is low sodium so I’m going to go a little bit heavy with that and then a nice light dusting of the lemon B going to add some beautiful Citrus notes in there some great color tiny bit of spice not much there

We have it folks we got some seasoned shrimp we’re going to set that aside chop up our sausage and all our veggies and make us a pasta now when it comes to the sausage you can use whatever you like this is beef sausage is smoked Kil basa basically but you can use something

Like a andou sausage if you’re going to cian route or really whatever you got in the fridge that’s the beautiful thing about this recipe any protein that you have in the fridge or the freezer perfect for this right here go ahead and save yourself a couple dollars you don’t

Have to order door Dash or Uber Eats you don’t have to go to the grocery store just use what you got on hand if you got shrimp great if you got chicken sausage whatever any protein works great for this pasta dish so we’re just going to

Go ahead and make little circles out of the sausage we’re using bow tie pasta today so I’m trying to have everything nice bite-sized pieces that’ll fit on the fork nicely now one of the things that in my opinion speed up the process when it comes to prepping dinner is

Getting all your prep work done and out of the way in the kitchen they call that mean pla which basically means means everything in its place so go ahead and get all your prep work done organize it on a tray like this and then when it’s

Time to cook you just flow right through it now I know I said this is 30 minutes or less but for my overachievers out there we’re going to throw a little garlic bread recipe in here as well if you got the kiddos at home they always

Love garlic bread all you need is a French loaf like this one right here and a serrated blade a stick of melted butter some garlic parsley and seasoning and it don’t take long to get toasty so we’re going to go ahead and flatten it out that’s how I like to do

Mine a little bit even more even when it’s time to cut it we’re only going to make one today though so half a loaf I should say so we’ll set that aside for a second we got a stick of melted butter right here to that I’m

Going to add a pinch of parsley mostly for color little freshness and then a good tablespoon and a half of garlic paste or garlic uh roasted garlic fresh garlic minced garlic whatever garlic you got laying around and you going to make sure you season that so after you get the garlic

In there little seasoning and then a little grated Parmesan cheese cuz why the hell not We’re Here for a Good Time not a long time going to mix that in hit the top with a little bit more grated parm grab me a spoon give that a little mix make sure

The garlic is well combined the cheese is well combined all that butter is properly melted seasonings evenly distributed that’s we’re going to take that spoon and slather that right on our bread make sure you get all the edges don’t be shy with the good stuff if you’re really in the time

Crunch you can throw that Texas toast in the oven like we used to do back in the day I’m not going to judge you for that but if you want to take it the extra mile this right here is a game Cher If you’re making the full loaf just double the

Recipe as you can see this is the perfect amount for half of a loaf double it up if you’re uh making the full thing touch more grated Palm right on the top and into the oven at 400° for about 15 20 minutes or until it’s crispy all

The way through cooking times will vary depending on your loaf of bread how thick the bread is that you’re cooking there you go into the oven she goes all right next up we’re going to warm our Skillet over medium heat add about a tablespoon or so of oil then we’re going

To add in that beef sausage again guys use whatever you like turkey fine you use some better than whatever beyond meat stuff if you’re vegan probably don’t watch this channel much but if you do thanks for tuning in get that on in there let the fat start rendering let it

Get nice and golden brown and crispy then we going to use our slotted spoon to remove that cook the shrimp right in that beef fat then remove the shrimp add the veggies make our sauce add the protein back in add the pasta and you’re done next up you want to always salt

Your pasta water and then cook the pasta per package instructions don’t be shy with the salt this is your best opportunity to season your pasta all right so once the beef has been removed we’re going to add about 2 tablespoons of butter because shrimp and butter is a beautiful thing butter makes

Everything better go ahead and get that in there get the process of it melting then we’re going to add in our jumbo shrimp and get them cooking all the flavor in the same Skillet guys that’s the name of the game here easy clean up not a lot of dirty dishes then we’ll

Cook the shrimp until it’s you know all the way cooked remove that make our sauce add everything back and plate this up so once we got the shrimp right where we want it we’re going to go ahead and flip it over show that other side the same love and

Attention this is going to be good guys I promise you that even if it takes you a couple minutes longer than 30 it’s going to be time well spent that’s for sure you want to cook your shrimp till they hit 145° internal temperature that’s when they’re safe to

Eat once we have the smoked sausage and the shrimp removed we’re going in with that one diced onion going to allow that to start to sauté we’re going to add in our shrimp for health and a little color once the onion Cooks down a little bit we’re going to add in our spinach

For health and a little color make the dish look nice and pretty to sauté down that onion then we’re going in with our spinach might look like a lot but it’ll cook down quite a bit shrinkage is real especially in the winter time all right so next up I’m going in

With the the secret ingredient little flavor enhancer a little roasted garlic better than buan just a teaspoon this has quite a bit of sodium so go a little bit lighter on the salt when it comes to the rest of your sauce that’s going to elevate the flavor tremendously beautiful garlic flavor in

There then we’re going in with about two heaping tablespoons of tomato paste might as well use the rest of this tube going to give that a little mix turn the he heat down just a touch pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat and then we’re going to deglaze

With about 1/4 cup or a/ thir cup of dry white wine next up we’re going in with a juice of half of a lemon just to brighten everything up kind of cut through some of the heavy cream and the butter that we’re using here speaking of heavy cream

We’re going in with about 2 cups of that give it a mix seasoned taste hit it with a little parmesan cheese and that my friends is your pasta sauce for the evening all right so at this point we’re going to reduce the heat down to low

Just allow the sauce to reduce a little bit kind of come together and then we’re going in with all of our protein that we cooked and any accumulated juices because no flavor left behind we got shrimp we got sausage we’re going to mix that together give that a minute or two

Then we’ll add in the bow tie pasta toss all that together plated it up with some fresh parm little parsley and that garlic bread and this is the part where I say brace yourself for a trademark money shot say it with me guys looking
