Pink Shrimp Sauce For Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large pot of water to the boil, add 1 tsp salt and pasta (cooking time about 11 minutes), then start your sauce.
• When pasta is done, usually at the most critical point of cooking the sauce, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, and drain the pasta.
• Put butter and olive oil into a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the garlic when the butter melts.
• Cook garlic, stirring constantly, until it becomes soft, but not browned at all, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add shrimp and briefly stir into the oil, then add the parsley, stir again and add the wine, half the pasta water and a good grind of pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just done.
• Add the pasta and Parmesan cheese to the shrimp pan and toss thoroughly.

Steps:

• Slice shrimp in half length-wise, remove vein, and rinse under cold water. Drain in colander.
• Dissolve the tomato paste in the wine and have ready.
• Put the olive oil and the garlic in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. Cook and stir the garlic until it is a pale gold.
• Add the wine/tomato mixture all at once to avoid splattering. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the shrimp and season with salt and a liberal grinding of pepper.
• Increase heat to medium high and cook shrimp for 2 minutes, just until done, turning them frequently to coat them in the sauce.
• Remove saucepan from heat.
• With a slotted spoon, remove about half of the shrimp and puree them using a blender or food processor (careful, they are hot!).
• Return the pureed shrimp to the saucepan and turn the heat to medium.
• Add the cream and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly till the cream thickens slightly and the sauce is hot.
• Taste and correct seasonings, if necessary.
• Toss the sauce with cooked drained pasta.
• Sprinkle with the fresh parsley.
• Serve at once.

Steps:

• Place tomato puree in a measuring cup. Add enough water to make a total measure of 1 cup, place in a medium bowl. Stir in cream, ginger, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper to taste, and sugar. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds. As soon as they begin to pop, add the garlic. Stir once and add the shrimps. Stir and fry until they just turn opaque, sprinkling with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour in the pink sauce and stir. As soon as the sauce is bubbling, the dish is ready to be served with hot cooked pasta or rice.
