Caribbean Pasta With Shrimp Recipes

CARIBBEAN PASTA WITH SHRIMP

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.

LEMON PASTA WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 1 minutes. Add chicken broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil.
• Add shrimp and cook only until it turns pink; do not fully cook at this point. Remove shrimp from the sauce and set aside; cover to keep warm.
• Reduce the skillet temperature to medium. Add Parmesan cheese, cream, and lemon zest to the sauce; bring to a simmer. Cook to thicken the sauce, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
• Add shrimp to the sauce just before it has fully thickened and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes; don't overcook.
• Combine shrimp sauce, pasta, and cilantro; toss and serve.
