RECIPE
INGREDIENTS: (2 servings)
250g/ 0.5lb shrimp or prawns (cleaned and deveined)
1.5 cups tomato puree/crushed tomatoes
4 large garlic cloves
1 tbsp chilli flakes
3-4 tbsp olive oil
Parsley/basil/oregano
110g/4 oz pasta (used spaghetti)
Salt as needed
PROCESS:
1. For fresh tomato puree, remove the eye from 4 large tomatoes and blend until smooth. Strain the puree if needed to remove the seeds
2. Add 1/2 tsp salt to shrimp/prawn and set aside for later. This will season the shrimp and enhance its flavour. Skip if using seawater shrimp
3. Heat 3-4 tbsp olive oil and sauté minced garlic for 10 seconds on low flame
4. Add 1 tbsp crushed red chilli flakes and sauté for another 10 seconds on low flame. Add more or less chilli flakes depending on spice tolerance
5. Next add the tomato puree and mix well. Canned and crushed tomatoes can also be used
6. Add salt and simmer the tomato puree until it’s reduced and oil separates from the sides. This is important as the tomatoes can otherwise taste a bit raw especially when using fresh
7. Start cooking the pasta in salted boiling water at this point. It should take 8-10 minutes for the pasta to cook to al dente
8. Once the tomato puree has reduced, add herbs (parsley/basil/oregano) and mix. Cook for a few seconds
9. Add about 1/2 cup of pasta water to make it saucy. Taste the sauce and add 1/4 tsp sugar if its too sour. This will balance the sourness.
10. Add the shrimp and cook for 4-6 minutes depending on the size. It’s cooked when the flesh turns opaque and the shrimp curls into a “C” shape. Don’t overcook the shrimp or it will turn rubbery.
11. Taste the sauce and adjust salt if needed before adding in the pasta
12. Toss in the cooked pasta directly from the pot and mix until its nicely coated with the sauce
13. Garnish with some more herbs and serve

SUBSTITUTES:
• No fresh/canned tomatoes?
Use 1:3 ratio of tomato paste and water
• No fresh herbs?
Use dried herbs of choice. Preferably dried oregano for a more robust flavour
• No red chilli flakes?
Crushed red pepper flakes, fresh red chillies can also be used
_______________________________________
TIPS:
• Always have the sauce ready before the pasta is cooked. In the video I timed it so they’re both done at almost the same time but you can cook the sauce first and then the pasta
• Don’t drain for add oil to pasta water. It’s unnecessary and is not how pasta must be cooked
• Always add salt to pasta water
• Since we are adding salt to shrimp, tomato sauce and pasta water, be careful to not add too much. You can always add more towards the end
• Always reserve pasta water to thin out the sauce
• For meal prep, store the shrimp sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days and mix with cooked pasta as needed

[@breakthespice]

Thank you! So glad you enjoy my recipes 😍

[@nattkhan]

This was SO good, thank you. I used a large tomato and just cooked it down instead of blending it because I didn’t have a blender. And I used a tsp of canned tomato purée I had on hand anyway. Diced a quarter of an onion (I made a very small portion) and this was EXACTLY what I was craving. This was so, so good. Thank you so much.

[@MichalinaButaczek]

[@tishtash5186]

This is amazing timing, I had prawns and had come to the conclusion that I was just going to have it with salad and a baked potato, saw this and luckily had everything in so i made it. I can confirm that it was easy and very very tasty, thank you sooooo much! I will defo make this again

[@breakthespice]

Yayyy so glad to hear that! 😍

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Grew up eating seafood, shellfish in my native Florida. I LOVE red sauce and seafood. It goes together splendidly! Wish I had some good Cuban bread (Tampa style) to go with this. TY I will enjoy I'm sure.

[@AnujGupta-ro9xc]

Thank you for such a thorough and pleasant, easy to follow recipe. Subscribed!!

[@tonyhartnett3376]

As usual, a really delicious recipe. Your videos are quite therapeutic. I cooked this last evening and added a little grated parmesan cheese to finish. I don't subscribe to the theory that parmesan and shellfish don't mix. The basic sauce would also be good under chicken breast with a parmesan coated crumb. Thanks again for your videos. Really enjoy them.

[@LEXZAYful]

looks yummy!🙌🏽

[@HarshaVardhan-ch9od]

[@khaled5413]

is it okay if i half-cook the shrimp first before adding it to the sauce and finishing it off with the pasta?

[@keerthanamoksha7553]

Wow!it looks yummy

[@breakthespice]

Thank you ❤️

[@prathiyankakp6779]

Can we substitute the prawn and put chicken? Would the flavours still be good?

[@kyjhinsea4815]

Hello what is 1:3 ratio?

[@janellefrancisco310]

Can I use tomato sauce instead puree tomatoes?

[@Trollika_Devi]

No. It could taste too sweet and tangy. There's fennel and sugar in sauce. You could add a quater teaspoon of sauce along with chopped tomatoes instead. Or tomato 'paste'.

[@bonappetit2405]

The idea of a Spicy shrimp pasta is very good, but I can't eat seafood

[@ferroherre9906]

Pourquoi ?

[@thomas3444]

110g Spaghetti for two servings? What will you eat? 😂 Otherwise a nice and basic recipe. Btw, canned tomatoes are often better for cooking than fresh ones, unless you are lucky to live in an area with really tasty fresh tomatoes. The ones in our supermarkets have no taste at all 😢

[@lick-avolley-ball6662]

Can I live with you? 😊💜 😂

[@Blue.star1]

Those Shrimps look cute like you. nonveg forbidden in August till September....Can you FedEx me 1kg pwease....
