Ingredients
- 400 g pasta I used rigatoni
- 1 lb prawns deveined & deshelled
- 1.5 tbsp Korean Red Chili Paste
- 2 shallots chopped
- 1.5 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Handful of parsley chopped & separated by stem
- ½ tbsp dried red chili flakes
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- ½ cup hot pasta water reserved
Seasoning Mix
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp thyme
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- 1 ½ tbsp oil
Instructions
- Season the shrimp with the seasoning mix.
- Cook pasta based on package instructions.
- In a pan, drizzle in oil and turn heat up to medium high. Once pan is hot, add in shrimp and cook for 4-5 min or until shrimp is fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add in garlic, stems of parsley, shallots and red chili flakes. Saute for 2-3 min or until fragrant.
- Add in Korean red chili paste, mix well, then add in heavy cream. Mix and let it simmer for 30 seconds - 1 min or until the sauce has thickened.
- Add in approx ½ cup of pasta water, mix well. Add in cooked pasta. Add back in the shrimp, add in the cheese. Toss well to ensure all the pasta soaks up the sauce.
- Finish off with parsley and more parmesan cheese if needed.
