Got back from the Times Warehouse Sale around 1PM. Bought books to last me a year. hehehe...(they were cheap!). Came home to find there was no defrosted chicken, so I decided to concoct a new pasta recipe.
Ingredients:
(Sorry! no accurate measurements since i didn't really pay attention, use your instincts. As a reference, 2-3 cloves of garlic should make 1-2 servings)
2-3 cloves Garlic, chopped
1 half thumb size Ginger, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, diced
1 green chili, sliced thinly
1 cili kering sliced (kalau nak tambah kick)
Some black olives, sliced (optional)
Shrimps (shelled)
Fresh coriander, chopped coarsely
Paprika powder
Olive oil (i think about 3 tablespoons)
Salt + Pepper to taste
Spaghetti (cooked)
Parmesan cheese
Saute the garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, green chili, chili kering, olives in olive oil. Then put in shrimps and let it cook. Sprinkle some paprika, salt and pepper. Add in the coriander leaves. Then lower the heat and mix the spaghetti in. Toss. Put in plate. If it looks a bit dry, add in a bit more olive oil to your liking. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, or grated cheddar pun boleh. Eat. Time to prepare 20 mins, time to eat 10 mins.
My kind of pasta these days, I got tired of the carbonara and tomato based sauces. Eugh.
