Pasta con camarones y aceitunas
2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva
2 dientes de ajo machacados
1 libra de camarones frescos (o congelados**) sin cabeza y desvenados
1 taza de vino blanco (un chardonnay seco va muy bien en este plato)
1 lata de tomates de 16 onzas (también puede utilizar tomates frescos)
¼ taza de aceitunas verdes españolas en aceite (¡las aceitunas rellenas con morrón también quedan muy bien!)
¼ taza de perejil
¼ cucharadita de sal
Una pizca de salsa Tabasco, o escamas de pimiento rojo machadas al gusto (opcional)
En una sartén grande, coloque el aceite de oliva y el ajo.
Cocine a fuego medio con la sartén tapada, revolviendo ocasionalmente hasta que el ajo se dore, pero no demasiado.
Agregue los camarones y saltee hasta que dejen de verse translúcidos y se tornen rosados. Vierta el vino.
Suba el fuego a fuerte y deje hervir durante 5 minutos.
Retire los camarones de la preparación con una espumadera y reserve.
Continúe cocinando el vino hasta que se reduzca a la mitad.
Agregue los tomates, las aceitunas, el perejil y la sal. Cocine la salsa durante 5 minutos más. Vuelva a colocar los camarones en la sartén y caliéntelos.
Si lo desea, coloque una pizca de salsa Tabasco o escamas de pimiento.
Vierta sobre la pasta.
Rinde dos porciones “generosas”.
**Si utiliza camarones congelados, no los descongele.
