Paesanos’ Rock Shrimp with Marinara Sauce

Ingredients

1 lb farfalle cooked al dente
12 oz marinara sauce
2 oz clam juice
6 oz rock shrimp raw
2 oz fresh or frozen green peas
1 oz roasted prosciutto
2 sprigs fresh cilantro

Of course, Paesanos is legendary in San Antonio. I had a blast working with Joe, the feisty owner. He whipped up this delicious shrimp dish at the Lincoln Heights location for me. He also shared the recipe. Enjoy!

In a stainless steel saute pan combine warm marinara sauce, clam juice and pasta. Heat until hot. Add raw shrimp and cook 1 minute. Then add peas and cook for a total of 3 minutes, until shrimp are tender (do not overcook!) Slowly blend all ingredients and put in deep dish soup bowl and add the prosciutto, crumbled with a little touch of cilantro.
