Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons chopped oregano
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with feta and drizzle with oil.

SPICY SHRIMP MASALA



Spicy Shrimp Masala image

Black pepper, garam masala, Thai green chiles and Kashmiri red chile powder make this shrimp masala a multi-layered delight of spices - fiery and smoldering simultaneously - while lemon juice and cilantro add brightness and bring some relief. In coastal cities of South Asia like Karachi and states like Goa, this preparation is typical and perfectly suited for crunchy, sweet shrimp. That such complexity comes together in 30 minutes feels like a small miracle.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup ghee or neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger paste or freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic paste or freshly grated garlic
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 to 3 Thai green chiles, finely chopped
5 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup coconut milk, stirred (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Roti or pita, for serving

Steps:

  • Pat shrimp dry, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
  • Heat ghee over medium heat in a wok or large (12-inch) frying pan until it has melted, about 30 seconds. Add ginger, garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add chile powder, cumin, turmeric and Thai green chiles. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and start to stick to the wok, about 15 minutes. Add coconut milk if you like it saucy.
  • Add shrimp. Stir so that shrimp are evenly coated, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally so the shrimp cook evenly, until the shrimp turn pink and appear firm, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, sprinkle with lemon juice, garam masala, cilantro and remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper. Serve with roti, store-bought pita or by itself.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, then remove the dark vein.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Add the feta cheese at the end of cooking to prevent it from melting and becoming grainy.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

This Greek pasta with shrimp is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The combination of shrimp, feta cheese, and fresh herbs creates a delicious and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp.
