Crevette A La Marseillaise‏

I've written a short poem about summers.

SUMMERS ARE HERE
THE DREADED SUMMERS ARE HERE

It is so hard to stand in the kitchen in this heat and it's not even June yet.

So, I will try my best to share recipes which are quick to make like the recipe that I am going ot share today.

Crevette A La Marseillaise‏ is a southern french pasta recipe which is basically pasta made in a creamy tomato sauce with shrimps seared in paprika and tomato paste.

The name is so hard to pronounce had to hear it 97000 times before I could say it right.

Ingredients:

a packet of fettuccine pasta (400 grams) cooked

10-12 large shrimps peeled and devained

1 medium onion

4-6 garlic cloves

4 tablespoon tomato puree

1 cup chicken broth

2 teaspoon paprika

4 tablespoon sour cream

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

salt and pepper to taste

Need to finely chop the garlic cloves and onion first.

On low heat, put olive oil in a pan and add onion and garlic. Cook till the onions are translucent and garlic is aromatic.

Sear in the shrimps and cook them for a minute. Add the chicken broth. Cook for 3 minutes.

Add paprika, salt, pepper and tomato puree and mix it all till the shrimps are properly coated.

Stir in some dried thyme and separate the shrimps from the sauce. DON'T JUDGE MY HANDS.

Now in the left over sauce add butter and mix it till it completely melts.

Then add the sour cream and stir until it is completely mixed.

Stir in the fettuccine and mix it till it is coated properly. Check if more salt and pepper needed.

Everything is ready at this point.

All you need to do is to plate the pasta in a bowl. Put the shrimps on top and sprinkle some chopped parsley or coriander and Crevette A La Marseillaise‏ is ready to serve.

Prawns Fettuccine Alfredo

It's time I tell you a story of the day I made PRAWN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO 

You need 

500 grams fettuccine pasta cooked Al dente. DON'T ASK ME SILLY STUFF LIKE "HOW TO BOIL THE PASTA?" READ ON THE PACKET LOSERS.

500 grams  prawns/shrimps

200 grams  freshly grated cheese of choice 

  

300 grams of cream

Half glass milk

100 grams butter

Onion powder 1 tablespoon

Garlic powder 1 tablespoon

2 tablespoon lemon juice 

 

Salt and pepper shall remain HASB E ZIAQA as always. Now lets get going.

Put onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and lemon juice on prawns and mix them well.

 

Melt butter in a pan and fry prawns until they are semi red. Then remove the prawns from the pan.

  

Whisk cream with the milk. 

If you want to make you're sauce white. Clean the butter out of the pan with the ingredients from prawns.

However, if you want flavor then add cream+milk in the pan without taking anything out. Heat it on medium low heat until it slow boils.

Add cheese and cook on medium till it slow boils. Check salt, pepper and onion/garlic powder flavor. Add more if required or according to your GODDAMN taste.

Now add them prawns. Cook for 2 minutes and add the fettuccine. There you go. 

 

You can also spice it up by adding a tablespoon of red chili flakes. 

I present to you the royal highness of all pastas Prawn Fettuccine Alfredo.
