Total time
Author/ Συγγραφέας: Katerina
Serves: 2
- 1 tbsp less sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Marsala wine (you can use any sweet wine you have)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp green and red pepper (you can increase the heat by adding more pepper)
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp shezhuan mix
- ¼ salt (if you use regular soy sauce omit the salt)
- About 20 medium sized shrimps
- 300 gr. Penne
- 200 ml heavy cream
- ½ cup regato
- ½ cup parmigiano reggiano
- 1 cup pasta water
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 100 gr. Margarine (you can use butter, I always use margarine to save some calories)
- In a non-reactive bowl place all the ingredients of the marinade and mix well to be incorporated.
- Add the shrimps and let them marinate for at least half an hour maximum one hour.
- In a pan pour the marinade and place it in medium high heat.
- Let it boil for a minute or two and then add the shrimps.
- Cook for about two minutes, they do not need more, and remove from stove.
- By then the sauce would have thicken, looking like a caramel covering the shrimps.
- While you make the shrimps, you can also boil the pasta according to your liking and reserve one cup of their water.
- Just a small trick to reduce the time of the preparation of pasta.
- If you have a boiler for hot water, just fill it with water and it will be boiled in no time.
- Then pour the boiled water in the pot in high heat and the water will be ready for the pasta very quickly.
- This is what I do to save time when things are getting quite hectic around here!
- Five minutes before the pasta is done, prepare the sauce Alfredo.
- In a pan put the margarine or butter in medium high heat.
- Add the heavy cream and the nutmeg and let it boil for a minute.
- Throw the pasta and half the quantity of the cheese and toss.
- If the sauce thickens add a little bit from the pasta water.
- Throw the rest of the cheese and again if you find it thick just add some pasta water and toss again.
- You can add salt as well, if you like it salty. I didn’t, because I thought it was salty enough for my taste.
- In a plate put the pasta and on top of it the shrimps.
- Simple and full of flavors!
