Cilantro and Parsley Shrimp Recipe

Cilantro and Parsley Shrimp Recipe

  • 4 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta (optional)
  • olive oil
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 10 sun-dried tomatoes, cut into strips
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 bunch chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 bunch chopped fresh cilantro
  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the shrimp and onion; cook and stir until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Continue cooking until the shrimp are no longer opaque in the center and the onion has turned translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley and cilantro, and pour over pasta to serve.
