Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.

Ingredients

  • 200g (7 oz) shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 75g (2.6 oz) pasta, dry
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) heavy cream
  • 30g (1/4 cup) sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 20g (1/4 cup) parmesan, grated
  • 9g (3 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (12ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes, 1/2 tsp fine salt, black pepper, fresh basil

Method

  1. Put the pasta on in well-salted water and set a timer for 1 min less than the packet says.
  2. Pat the shrimp completely dry and salt them. Wet shrimp steam grey instead of searing pink.
  3. Sear the shrimp in the oil over high heat, 60-75 seconds a side, and take them straight out onto a plate. They are not done yet and that is correct.
  4. Drop the heat to medium. Cook the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and chilli flakes in the same pan for 45 seconds.
  5. Pour in the cream and 60ml / 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and simmer 2 min until it just coats a spoon.
  6. Take the pan off the heat before the parmesan goes in. Cheese added to a boiling sauce splits into oily strings.
  7. Toss the drained pasta through, then return the shrimp and any juice from the plate for a final 30 seconds.
  8. Finish with torn basil and black pepper.

Tip: the shrimp come out of the pan after 90 seconds and go back in at the very end. That single move is the difference between shrimp and erasers.
