A cozy weekend lunch for one person [Tomato and Shrimp Pasta]

Overview

The ingredients used are extremely simple. It is more fresh and sweet than any pasta I have ever made before. It is also accompanied by my favorite black pepper and basil leaves. The taste is relatively refreshing, like creamy mushroom pasta, which is very rich and tastes a bit greasy. I still prefer this kind that can be eaten two plates at a time. It is very suitable for a comfortable weekend lunch for one person. Of course, if you have time, you can also pair it with red wine, salad, and dessert. You don’t have to go to a Western restaurant to have a very rich Western cuisine. Enjoy yourself

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the tomatoes, cut them in half and then cut them into small pieces (if you buy small tomatoes, just cut them in half)

   

2. 2 After cleaning the shrimp, remove the shrimp heads, remove the shrimp paste and remove the shells. Do not throw away the shrimp heads (reserve them for frying)

   

3. 3 Peel the garlic and cut into small pieces, clean the sweet basil and chop the stems into small pieces, set aside the leaves, and cut the pepper into small pieces

   

4. 4 At this time, take a pot and add water to boil. First put the pasta into the boiling water (cook according to the time indicated on the packaging bag until there is no hard core, it will take about 8-10 minutes. Please follow the instructions for details)

   

5. 5 The cooking time of the pasta is just enough to fry the shrimp heads. Pour an appropriate amount of olive oil into the pan, add the shrimp heads and stir-fry to let the flavor of the shrimp heads blend into the oil, then remove the shrimp heads and remove them

   

6. 6 Then sauté the garlic slices, chili granules, and basil (I forgot to add them in the picture, I added them later) until fragrant. Pay attention to the heat and don’t burn them

   

7. 7 Pour in the shrimp meat and stir-fry until it changes color

   

8. 8 At this time, the pasta is almost ready (I arranged the steps in the order I made them, so you can operate according to the actual situation), then take them out to dry and set aside

   

9. 9 Stir-fry the shrimp meat until it changes color. Add tomato cubes, add sea salt and black pepper and continue to cook for 2 minutes until the tomatoes become soft. Pour the drained pasta into the shrimp meat and tomatoes and mix well

   

10. 10 Add the basil leaves and mix well, then adjust the taste of the pasta with sea salt and black pepper. After serving, you can also put a few basil leaves on the surface to decorate
