Hurricane Shrimp Pasta Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Stir in pasta, arugula and Parmesan until arugula begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Stir in shrimp. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

HURRICANE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine coconut milk, lime juice, garlic, chili flakes, cumin, coriander and pepper in a small bowl.
• Add shrimp and toss. Marinate for 1 hour or more under refrigeration.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Unroll the kataifi and separate a small bundle of strands about 1.5 inches wide. Using scissors, cut Kataifi strands to about 8 inches long.
• For each shrimp, spread a Kataifi bundle on your work surface and wrap it around each marinated shrimp, leaving the tail uncovered. Wrap freeform or tightly compress for a more compact look.
• His recipe calls for deep frying at 350F for 2 minutes each until brown and crispy, then draining on a paper towel.
• I prefer to bake at 400F for 8-10 minutes or until the Kataifi is crisp and golden. A little less for smaller shrimp.
• Serve with Recipe # 481797 as a dipping sauce.

COCONUT GARLIC SHRIMP, ASPARAGUS, TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan heat the olive oil and sauté the red pepper until soft, about 4 minutes.
• Add the white parts of the scallions, ¼ cup of the fresh cilantro (or the 1 tbsp of dried), the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about a minute or so until well blended.
• Add the tomatoes, coconut milk and ¼ tsp of salt. Stir well and bring to a boil. Once it boils, cover the pot and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.
• Meanwhile cook the pasta about 10 minutes to just al-dente, drain and put back into pot.
• Add the chopped asparagus to the tomato coconut milk mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until it begins to soften a little.
• Add the shrimp to same mixture and cook for about 5-6 minutes until the shrimp is opaque. Add the lime juice.
• Pour all of the shrimp mixture into the pot with the pasta and mix well. Let it simmer for just a minute or so to get everything mixed.
• Serve. Top with the green part of the scallions and rest of fresh cilantro if using fresh. We also like to add a little parmesan cheese on top as well.
