• Peel and devein shrimp. Save shells.

• In a pot large enough to hold all ingredients, saute garlic over low heat until translucent; remove. Increase heat to medium and add shells. Stir until pink. Discard shells with a slotted spoon retaining as much juice as possible.
• Quick cook shrimp in the same pot until partly cooked through. Remove and reserve shrimp in a bowl. Refrigerate until final reheat and cooking at the end. Protect all secreted juices.
• Place tomatoes, red pepper flakes, remaining olive oil, several stalks of basil, salt and pepper in the pot. Simmer for about 2 hours, adding water or optional clam broth as needed.
• When close to serving, place pasta in a pot of salted and rapidly boiling water. Cook pasta according to package until al dente.
• Just before pasta is ready, remove basil and reheat the shrimp in the sauce.
• Strain pasta and place some of the shrimp sauce in the empty pasta pot. Add cooked pasta and mix, adding more sauce if needed to make sure pasta is coated with sauce. Place in a large serving bowl and top with a generous amount of additional sauce. Serve with additional sauce on the side.

EASY FRIED SHRIMP AND TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour and beer until a smooth batter is formed. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
• Lightly salt the shrimp. Holding the tails, dip the shrimp into the batter to evenly coat on both sides.
• One by one, gently drop the battered shrimp into the hot oil. Fry, flipping once if necessary, until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes. While frying the shrimp, be sure to monitor the temperature of the oil and maintain it at 375 degrees F. Transfer the fried shrimp to the cooling rack and sprinkle generously with salt.
• Serve the fried shrimp with Tartar Sauce for dipping.
• Mix the mayonnaise, dill, cornichons, vinegar, capers, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH XO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the XO sauce: heat half of the oil in a wok or saucepan set over a very low heat. Add the chopped garlic, followed by the shallot and lemon grass. Poach everything in the oil for 5-10 minutes stirring often.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan and stir in the dried shrimps, ham, and chili flakes.
• Continue frying over a low heat until the seafood takes on a golden hue and the ham becomes crisp.
• Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool. Transfer everything to a large glass jar secured with a lid. Leave everything to steep for a minimum of 2-3 hours.
• This sauce improves with age and is best left to steep for a couple of weeks in the fridge or a cool place. A little goes a long way - use this sauce as a perky seasoning for stir-fries, noodles and rice dishes.
• For the stir-fry: heat the rinsed wok over a high heat and add the sesame oil.
• Tip in the snow peas and peppers and stir-fry for a minute before removing from the pan.
• Add the shrimp, sugar and white pepper and continue frying for 2-3 minutes.
• Return the peppers and sugar snaps to the pan and stir in enough XO sauce to give a spicy kick - you'll probably only need a tablespoon or so. The rest of the sauce can be used for other South East Asian dishes.
• Combine the cornstarch with 2 tbs water and add to the pan, stirring all the time. This will bring all the juices together. Serve straight away with rice or noodles.
