Sambal Shrimp Linguine Recipes

SHRIMP LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions.
• While linguine is cooking, melt butter or margarine in a large skillet. Add garlic, and saute briefly to release flavor. Add cream; heat just to boiling, stirring frequently. Lower heat, and stir in shrimp, parsley, basil, and thyme. Continue cooking until shrimp are just heated through. Do not overcook shrimp! Remove sauce from heat.
• Drain the pasta, and toss lightly with the sauce. Toss again with cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a large bowl of cold water until thawed, 10 to 15 minutes.

• Melt 1 1/2 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp, garlic butter mixture, and sambal oelek. Cook and stir until garlic is cooked and shrimp are heated through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Bring water and sushi rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand, covered, until liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.

• Place the shrimp in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag, and add all but 1 /2 cup of the marinade to the bag. Allow the shrimp to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high and oil the grill.
• Place the shrimp on the grill and cook until they are just cooked through, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a large bowl. Add the reserved 1/2 cup marinade, the cilantro and the mint and toss well to combine. Transfer the shrimp to a large serving bowl or platter, and serve immediately.

SAMBAL SHRIMP LINGUINE

Steps:

• Combine 64 ounces (1/2 gallon) water with 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot and bring to a hard rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente according to the package directions.
• While the pasta cooks, heat a large saute pan over high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 20 seconds. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring vigorously, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sambal, lemon juice, shrimp and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing, until the shrimp start to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the butter, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.
• The pasta should be al dente about now. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the pasta water, then drain the linguine; transfer both to the saute pan and cook over medium high heat, tossing, until mixed thoroughly.
• Remove from the heat and plate the pasta high and tight in the center. Garnish with the scallions directly on the pasta, then garnish that with the breadcrumbs. Enjoy!
