PENNE WITH SHRIMP AND SPICY TOMATO SAUCE



Penne With Shrimp and Spicy Tomato Sauce image

Paprika, cumin, and ginger lend their aromatic alchemy to a simple, no-cook tomato sauce. You can use the sauce with a wide range of ingredients(see Variations). One variation is vegetarian. With its competing spices, strong-flavored cilantro, and acidic tomatoes, this pasta dish calls for a simple Italian white--a pinot grigio, for example. Notes: I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned.

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 cups chopped onion (about 1 large)
3 large garlic cloves, minced
4 cups hot water
an 8-ounce can tomato sauce (about 3/4 cup)

Accompaniment: basmati rice with mustard seeds and golden raisins

Season sauce with salt. Sauce may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat sauce in skillet before proceeding.

Transfer shrimp with slotted spoon to bowl and cover. Boil sauce, stirring, until thickened. Pour sauce, lemon juice, and salt to taste over shrimp mixture and stir to combine well. Serve shrimp and peppers over rice and sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and plump shrimp: Fresh shrimp should have a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Use a variety of spices: The combination of cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper gives this dish its unique flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of each spice to suit your taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking. The shrimp will become tough if they sit for too long.
