15-MINUTE CHILI SHRIMP PASTA

February 18, 2020 by Lovoni | Leave a Comment

Minus the shrimp, this recipe got me through a few years of college when I was a poor student. Served with a simple garden salad, I ate this several times a week because it was cheap, cheerful & quick to make. And, as much as the word makes me cringe – tasty. Because there’s a mere handful of ingredients I’ve used these ingredients boldly. Olive oil becomes the sauce with lots of garlic, sambal oelek, Italian parsley & a good parmigiana reggiano.

15-MINUTE CHILI SHRIMP PASTA

As the name implies this recipe is full of swagger & boldness. I’m sure you like a little chili or you’d not of perused a recipe titled ’15-minute Chili Shrimp Pasta in the first place. There’s a generous amount of sambal oelek – which is actually a south east Asian condiment, but for me it traverses continents. No food police here.

15-MINUTE CHILI SHRIMP PASTA

Serve with shrimp or not. Truth be told, I like this unadorned – just the pasta & its garlicky chili sauce, so feel free to omit the shrimp (as I said, my original recipe didn’t include them). If you do choose to add them, they’re tossed them in some flour first before being cooked in olive oil. The flour adds a crispiness & a nutty flavor that makes these good enough just to eat on their own. Dipped in a little sambal for the heat-lovers. Cheers, Lovoni xo

15-MINUTE CHILI SHRIMP PASTA

Minus the shrimp, this recipe got me through a few years of college when I was a poor student. Served with a simple garden salad, I ate this several times a week because it was cheap, cheerful & quick to make; &, as much as I hate the word – tasty. Because there’s a mere handful of ingredients I’ve used these ingredients boldly. And as the name implies, I’m sure you like a little chili or you’d not of perused the recipe in the first place. Serve with shrimp or without. Truth be told, I like this unadorned – just the pasta & its garlicky chili sauce. Buying the shrimp already peeled saves prep time.

Finnish Mustard - move over every other mustard I’ve ever loved, this is my new favourite. The recipe is an adaptation of @tessakiros from #fallingcloudberries a cookbook I highly recommend. If a mustard can be decadent then this is it. It’s also so simple to make. 
I purged many of my cookbooks recently. I’m replacing some with cookbooks I want to cook from and will make a point of using. Beth from @oldetymemarketplace along with @downshilohroad & @myrustichouse have started a fun hashtag to encourage us to make & share recipes from our cookbooks #friendswhocookwithabook 
It’d be such fun if you joined along. I know we all have those cookbooks that sit collecting dust. Well time to use them or pitch them. Or treat yourself & buy some new ones. Finding recipes online is convenient but never the same as holding a gorgeous cookbook in your hands. 
If like me you love mustard I urge you to try this mustard recipe. It’s divine.

QUICK & EASY TIRAMISU - a quick word to anyone who QUICK & EASY TIRAMISU - a quick word to anyone who has to add whipped cream to a recipe that’s having its pic taken - never use canned cream. You know the shit in a can I’m talking about?! That stuff breaks down quickly & is total crap. You need to whip the cream yourself and, you need to stabilize it with some powdered sugar. And don’t over whip the cream. Whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream in a cold bowl until it’s starting to thicken, add about 1/3 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, whip until soft peaks form & then you can make great swirls, dollops or pipe it & it’ll behave & stay looking good to have its pic taken. Perfect swirls & dollops = pretty pics. 

Meanwhile, here’s the recipe for this yummy & really easy to make dessert.

SWEET CHILI MISO SALMON & STIR-FRIED VEGGIES - who SWEET CHILI MISO SALMON & STIR-FRIED VEGGIES - who made new year’s resolution to go on a diet? God I’ve been on so many bloody diets. They work of course, as long as one stays on diet of choice. Kudos to those who do. As a mere mortal & coupled with my recipe testing, writing, styling & such I can’t, nor do I want to, eliminate whole food groups from my diet. I fail miserably at it. Then I beat myself up. And the vicious cycle goes around & around. My health - physical & mental & business are my main focuses this year. Diets are kicked to the curb along with negative self-talk. Enough already.  Wholesome foods, moving my body with exercise that makes me happy & I want to do is key. Who else feels the same? 
Here’s the link to this vibrant recipe. I really enjoyed it for dinner last night & last week. Serve it up with some steamed jasmine rice. So good.
