Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Linguine |
| 10 | Shrimp |
| 4 | Extra Virgin Olive Oil |
| 1 | Tomato Paste |
| 1 | Heavy Cream |
| 1 | Curry Powder |
| 1 | Red Bell Pepper |
| To taste | Salt |
Instructions:
-
Cook Linguine: Begin by cooking the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until it reaches al dente perfection, ensuring it’s not overcooked. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes, but check the package instructions for precise timing.
-
Prepare Shrimp and Bell Pepper: Meanwhile, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a heavy skillet or cast iron frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for approximately 2 minutes, turning the shrimp once to ensure even cooking. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, indicating they’re cooked through.
-
-
Make the Creamy Tomato Curry Sauce: In a separate skillet, pour in the heavy cream and stir in the tomato paste, curry powder, and a hint of chili pepper for added spice. Heat the mixture until it reaches a light boil, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Combine Shrimp with Sauce: Add the cooked shrimp and bell pepper to the skillet containing the creamy tomato curry sauce. Let them simmer together for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the shrimp.
-
Combine Linguine with Sauce: Drain the linguine once it’s cooked to perfection (remember not to rinse it) and add it directly to the skillet with the shrimp sauce. Stir lightly to coat the linguine evenly with the flavorful sauce.
-
Final Touches: Season the dish with salt to taste, adjusting the amount according to your preferences.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the shrimp in tomato cream curry sauce over a platter and serve it hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra savory kick. Don’t forget to pair it with some freshly baked French bread to soak up every last bit of the delicious sauce.
Chef’s Tips:
- To add a bit of freshness and color, consider garnishing the dish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
- Feel free to customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of curry powder and chili pepper according to your taste preferences.
- For a heartier meal, you can add some additional vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or peas to the dish.
