Spaghettini with shrimps

Tiger shrimps might be cheaper but they are though. I much prefer white shrimps. I usually buy them frozen on sale.

When I originally created this recipe, I used green pepper instead or red. The girls told me the dish lacked color. Therefore, I suggest you are using red pepper to bring some humph to the dish.

Ingredients:

30 ml olive oil
5 garlic cloves, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
350 ml mushrooms, chopped in large chunks (I use oysters and Portobello but you can use regular mushrooms too)
Half of one red pepper, cut in slices
300 ml white wine
5 ml sel d’espelette (this is a speciality salt. If you do not have any, increase the regular salt by 5 ml and also add 2 ml chilli pepper flakes)
2 ml salt
5 ml curry powder
600 ml uncooked white shrimps
500 gr whole wheat Spaghettini

Method:

In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the green onions, mushrooms and red peppers
Cook for about 3 minutes then add the garlic
Cook another 3 minutes then add wine, salt and curry
Cook for 3 minutes then add the shrimps
Cook a few minutes, until the shrimps are cooked
Adjust seasoning and serve over whole wheat Spaghettini

This recipe for wings is much less fattening than when you fry them. They are, however, just as good.

Ingredients:

15 ml dry mustard
15 ml paprika
15 ml curry powder
5 ml Cayenne pepper
5 ml salt
1 kg chicken wings, cut in two, trimmed and tip removed

Method:

Mix all the spices in a thick plastic bag
Add one third of the wing and shake well
Place the spicy wings on a cookie sheet
Repeat with the remaining wings
Bake in the oven at 325⁰ F for about 35 minutes, turning the wings once

Curry Rice

My dear brother-in-law makes the best curry rice. I believe that his secret is that he replaces the chicken soup base by beef consommé and also adds more water so the rice is kind of wet. His rice with his pork chops is one of the best meal you can have.

Ingredients:

2 chopped medium onions
50 ml butter
15 ml curry powder
250 ml Uncle Ben’s Converted rice
650 ml chicken soup base

Method:

In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and cook onion for about 5 minutes
Add curry and mix well
Add uncooked rice and mix well
Sauté the rice for 2-3 minutes, stirring often at high temperature
Add chicken soup base and cook for about 17 minutes
