About this recipe

This recipe for capellini with shrimps in creamy lemon sauce is a tribute to the uncomplicated, sun-kissed cuisine of Italy. I have refined it over the years, inspired by a vacation on the Amalfi Coast, where lemons grow in abundance and the seafood is freshly caught. It's a dish that evokes memories of warm summer evenings and the sound of the sea. The shrimps are the star of the dish. Make sure to use fresh, raw shrimps, preferably with the shell on, which you can remove yourself. By the way, you can use the shells wonderfully for an intense fish stock, which you can then use instead of the chicken broth. The capellini, also known as angel hair pasta, are ideal because they perfectly absorb the light sauce. Use high-quality cream with a fat content of at least 30% so that the sauce becomes nice and creamy. The chicken broth provides a hearty base, while the lemon, with its peel and juice, contributes a refreshing acidity and an intense aroma. The parsley brings a fresh, green note and the Parmesan rounds off the dish with its spicy saltiness. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to adhere to the cooking times exactly, especially for the shrimps. They should be tender and juicy, not rubbery. The reverse rotation is crucial so that the shrimps are not crushed. If you like the sauce a little thicker, you can extend the cooking time, but keep in mind that the noodles absorb liquid when mixed. Make sure to cook the capellini al dente, as they will continue to cook a little in the hot sauce. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the shrimps with fried zucchini or eggplant cubes. For a vegan version, use vegetable cream and omit the Parmesan or replace it with nutritional yeast for a similar, cheesy taste. Also experiment with other herbs such as dill or thyme. A pinch of chili flakes adds a pleasant spiciness. Serve the capellini with shrimps in creamy lemon sauce immediately after preparation. A fresh salad with a light lemon dressing goes perfectly with it. A glass of dry white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio or a Sauvignon Blanc, rounds off the dish perfectly. You can store leftovers in the refrigerator, but the noodles will absorb the sauce, so the dish may become a little dry. Add some broth or cream before serving and heat gently. The dish is not suitable for freezing. However, you can prepare the sauce and store it in the refrigerator. You should then prepare the shrimps and noodles fresh.
