Steps:
- Rinse the shrimp under warm running water. Cut in half lengthwise. Add to the marinade ingredients and marinate the shrimp for 25 minutes in the refrigerator. Whisk together the coconut milk, vinegar, honey, and the crushed red pepper. Set aside. Prepare the ginger and tomatoes.
- Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the shrimp. Stir-fry until they turn pink. Remove from the pan.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to the wok. When the oil is hot, add the minced ginger. Stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds). If using ground ginger, simply mix it into the tomatoes and add the tomatoes to the wok. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the sauce. When the sauce is bubbling, add the shrimp. Stir in the chili paste or garlic. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Cook the pasta separately as directed. Serve over the cooked spaghetti or stir the cooked pasta right into the shrimp mixture. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH BOW TIE PASTA
This is my favorite way to make shrimp because using the marinade in the sauce carries the shrimp flavor through the entire dish. Wine, garlic and lemon are the main flavors, but with a slight kick. You can skip flouring the shrimp if you want, and go straight to frying them, but you might want to thicken your sauce with a little cornstarch. I like serving these with a nice juicy, grilled rib-eye, but it could also be a main dish. Prep time includes time to marinate shrimp.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl or large plastic zip-tip bag, combine all marinade ingredients, mix well, add shrimp and let sit 20-30 minutes, stirring or flipping bag occasionally.
- When shrimp are almost done marinating, start cooking the pasta accoring to directions on the package.
- Meanwhile, combine flour and paprika (if using) on a large plate or in a large plastic zip-top bag, lightly coat shrimp with flour mixture.
- Reserve the marinade.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the shrimp about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. (The flour coating may not be crispy, but that okay, most of it will come off of the shrimp and thicken the pasta sauce.).
- Set cooked shrimp aside.
- Add butter and marinade to pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Return shrimp to pan, stir well, reduce heat to medium, and add milk.
- Stirring well, cook about 3-4 minutes or until sauce has thickened. (If you don't use the flour, you may want to thicken now with a cornstarch and water mixture).
- Add parmesan cheese and parsley, stir to combine.
- Add cooked pasta and stir well to completely coat with sauce.
- Serve hot.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is pink and opaque.
- Use a large pot: When cooking the pasta, use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
- Don't rinse the pasta: Rinsing the pasta after it is cooked will remove the starch, which helps the sauce stick to the pasta. So, don't rinse the pasta unless you really have to.
- Add the sauce to the cooked pasta: After the pasta is cooked, drain it and then add it to the sauce. This will help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
- Garnish the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked and sauced, garnish it with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or chopped nuts. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
