List of Ingredients




1 1/2 lbs raw medium shrimp
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 tbsp finely minced ginger
3 tbsp flavorless cooking oil
8 oz your favorite pasta
1/2 cup cilantro sprigs

FOR THE SAUCE:
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cup seeded, chopped ripe tomatos
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp allspice berries, finely crushed
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
2 tbsp thin soy sauce
1 tbsp light brown sugar
2 tsp corn starch
1 tsp Caribbean or asian chile sauce


Recipe



Advance preparation: shell, devein and split the shrimp lengthwise nearly in half, then refrigerate.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic, shallots, ginger and oil.

In separate containers, set aside the pasta and cilantro, in a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce, then refrigerate.

Final cooking steps: chop the cilantro.

Bring 4 quarts of water to a rapid boil. Lightly salt the water; then cook the pasta according to instructions.

When the pasta loses its raw texture but is still firm, remove from heat and drain.

Meanwhile, place a 12 or 14 inch saute pan over high heat. When hot, add the garlic-oil mixture.

Saute until the garlic begins to sizzle but has not browned.

Stir the sauce, then pour into the saute pan.

Bring the sauce to a rapid boil and cook until it begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the shrimp. Stir and toss the shrimp until they turn pink and have just lost their raw interior, about 2 minutes.

Immediately add the pasta. Stir and toss until evenly combined and well heated.

Taste and adjust the seasonings, especially for salt.

Transfer the pasta to a heated platter. Sprinkle on the cilantro and serve at once.
