SHRIMP AND PASTA PRIMAVERA
This came from the first onslaught of zucchini from my garden, coupled with a handful of this-n-that from the fridge. A very forgiving recipe - more of a technique to me - as the ingredients can be interchanged to suit tastes and fridge contents.

SHRIMP AND PENNE PRIMAVERA
Pasta's reputation - restored! With the bad press that pasta's been getting in these carb-phobic times, you may have given it up entirely. The truth is, pasta is only a problem when the noodles make the meal. The trick is rounding it out with healthy add-ins. Here, Whole Foods Markets' executive chef Steven Petsevsky has tossed in a day's supply of vegetables; they supply lots of vitamin C and good-for-you phytochemicals - plus fiber. Shrimp adds a kick of protein, and a handful of fresh herbs makes all the flavors sparkle. Self's testers' verdict: yum.

PASTA WITH SHRIMP PRIMAVERA
This is very similar to my favorite primavera at a local restaurant. I favor primavera without the cream sauce - just some lemon juice, olive oil and a little white wine. Oh yeah, a lot of garlic. Times are just a guess.

SPICY SHRIMP MASALA
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.

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:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish comes together quickly and easily.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and seafood.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a large skillet or pot: You want to make sure that there is enough room for all of the ingredients to cook evenly. If you use a skillet that is too small, the ingredients will crowd each other and not cook properly.
- Season to taste: Always season your dish to taste before serving. This means tasting the dish and adjusting the seasonings until you are happy with the flavor.
Conclusion:
Shrimp and pasta primavera is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
