Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 plum tomato, diced
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cups medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Angel hair pasta, cooked according to package instructions
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and have them measured, chopped, and minced as per the quantities mentioned.
-
-
Saute Ginger and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat butter and a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped ginger and minced garlic. Saute for about 2 minutes until fragrant and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
-
Add Tomatoes and Aromatics: Stir in the diced plum tomatoes, chicken broth, chopped fresh parsley, and fresh basil. If using dried parsley and basil, add them now. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Cook Shrimp: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Allow them to simmer gently, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are cooked through.
-
Combine Pasta and Finish: Once the shrimp are cooked, add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet along with the remaining fresh parsley and basil. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce and the shrimp are well distributed.
-
Serve: Transfer the Gingered Garlic Shrimp to serving plates or a large platter. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or basil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
