There's nothing I like more than a juicy, sweet, spicy and tangy shrimp dish, and this dish has all those qualities by the bucket loads! Freshness is another thing that is very important to me, be it cooking for myself or for my customers. That's the reason why my freezer is always almost empty, with the exception of a few blocks of butter and ice cubes.
Was at the local market today and came across some really fresh shrimps. It looked really good, and the price was right too, so I bought a few back to try to cook this dish.
Ingredients
9 shrimps, shelled, leaving the tail
Zest of 1 lime, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime, without seeds
2 heaped tablespoons of chopped garlic
2 tablespoons honey
A knob of butter
2 tablespoons of roughly chopped dried chili
Some roughly chopped parsley
Some salt
125g angel hail spaghetti
Olive oil
Method
Cook the spaghetti to al dente, toss it with some olive oil and put it aside.
Mix the honey, chili powder, lime zest and juice and put it aside
In a hot pan, pour some olive oil and throw in the garlic and shrimps
Cook the shrimps till it's almost done, then pour in the honey mixture and let it caramelize.
When that's done, add the parsley and the spaghetti, toss it well, plate it and it's ready to eat.
This is one damm easy dish, from the raw ingredients to the table, ready to eat in about half an hour. Just make sure not to over cook the prawns, as there's nothing worse than overcooked seafood.
Enjoy!
