Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 ½ cups tomato - peeled, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
½ teaspoon whole allspice berries
½ cup chicken stock
¼ cup brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons chile paste
8 ounces rotini pasta
1 ½ pounds medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine garlic, shallots, ginger and oil. In another small bowl, combine green pepper, tomato, curry powder, allspice, chicken stock, Grand Marnier, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and chile paste. Cover and refrigerate both until ready to use.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Heat a large saute pan over high. When hot, add garlic-oil mixture. Saute until garlic begins to sizzle but has not browned. Stir the tomato mixture, then pour into the saute pan. Bring to a rapid boil and cook until it begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp, and toss until they become pink, about 2 minutes. Immediately add the pasta. Stir and toss until well combined and pasta is heated through. Taste and adjust seasonings, especially salt.
Transfer to a heated platter and sprinkle on the cilantro. Serve at once.

RASTA PASTA WITH JERK CHICKEN

Rasta Pasta With Jerk Chicken image

Comforting and spicy in just the right way, Rasta pasta is popular in Jamaican communities across New York and beyond. This version gets its spice from jerk seasoning and a single Scotch bonnet. The bell peppers and green onions add not only texture, but a sweet crunch and brightness. You could swap salmon or shrimp for the chicken, or use fettuccine or rigatoni instead of the penne, if you like; just mind the cooking time. You could even halve the heavy cream, or substitute coconut milk for more depth of flavor. Feel free to refrigerate any leftovers, and either reheat or eat them cold the next day. This is a dish that gets better with a little time.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound penne pasta
3 bell peppers, preferably a mix of colors, thinly sliced
4 green onions, sliced, plus more for garnish
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup jerk seasoning
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, pierced, not sliced (optional)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

Prepare the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine jerk seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Pull chicken out about 1 hour before cooking, so it comes to room temperature.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium. Add the chicken to the skillet, and sear chicken on both sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Once chicken is seared, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for about 10 minutes, and slice on a bias.
As chicken roasts, prepare the pasta: Set a pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta, and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to a heavy pot set over medium, and sauté bell peppers with green onions until peppers are barely softened, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until it's fragrant, about another minute.
Add the 1/4 cup jerk seasoning to the pot and combine. Add the thyme and pierced pepper. Add heavy cream and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Mix in the Parmesan, then add pasta.
Top with the jerk chicken, and garnish with green onions. Serve hot.
