By: MommyDiva 
"After throwing some ingredients together for tapas, the flavor was so fresh and light my family asked for more. By warming it through with a few more ingredients I turned it into a family meal with pasta instead of just a snack."

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning
  •  
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/3 cup diced sweet red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup canned whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon canned chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
  2. Place shrimp and crab boil into a large saucepan. Fill with water to 1 inch above the shrimp, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 3 minutes until shrimp turn pink, then drain.
  3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, and red onion, cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in bell pepper, corn, lime juice, cilantro, oregano, chipotle pepper, and salt. Stir in the half-and-half, and bring to a simmer. Once the mixture is simmering, stir in shrimp, and toss with the drained pasta.
