FIRE AND ICE PASTA

I apparently copied the original recipe down wrong (2 cups of olive oil?? That can't be right!) so I took extreme liberties with it when I made this. I added black olives and used white onions instead of the chives. This would be better with fresh herbs. It's spicy, so serve it with some chewy bread and a mixed green salad.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose ripe vegetables, firm shrimp, and a flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is a flavorful and healthy choice for this dish. It will add a nice richness to the sauce.
  • Season the dish to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  • Serve immediately: Fire and ice pasta is best served immediately, while the shrimp are still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.

Fire and ice pasta is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, so it is a great option for busy weeknights. With its combination of hot and cold, sweet and savory, fire and ice pasta is a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
