Total Time: 20 minutes
Type of Pot: Large deep-sided skillet or Dutch oven
The 6 Ingredients
-
The Protein: 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined).
-
The Heat: 1.5 big spoons of Scarlet Rush chili powder.
-
The Pasta: 1/2 lb Fusilli (nooks and crannies to catch the sauce).
-
The Cream: 1/2 cup heavy cream + 2 tbsp tomato paste.
-
The Aromatic: 3 cloves garlic (minced) + 1 shallot (finely diced).
-
The Finish: A handful of fresh basil and grated Parmesan.
INstructions:
-
The Pasta: Start your Fusilli pasta in salted boiling water.
-
The Sizzle: In your large skillet, sauté the shallot and garlic in a bit of oil for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until pink. Remove the shrimp and set them aside so they don't overcook.
-
The Scarlet Base: Add the tomato paste and your Scarlet Rush powder to the same pan. Stir for 1 minute until the paste darkens. (This is your "flavor bloom" shot).
-
The Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream. Use your wooden spoon to stir. The sauce will turn a beautiful, zesty pink-orange. Use the flexible edge to scrape up any bits of chili powder stuck to the bottom.
-
The Marriage: Toss the cooked Fusilli pasta and the cooked shrimp back into the sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if it’s too thick.
-
Gourmet Garnish: Use your mandeline to "shave" setting to create ultra-thin curls of Parmesan cheese over the top.
