Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Linguine 120g
  • Argentine Red Shrimp 6 pcs
  • Fruit Tomatoes 2 pcs
  • Italian Parsley 1 bunch

Seasonings

  • [A] Brandy 50cc
  • [A] White Wine 150cc
  • Garlic (to taste)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to taste)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • Chili Pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Trim the antennae and the hard part of the tail from the Argentine Red Shrimp.
  2. Separate the shells and heads from the Argentine Red Shrimp.
  3. Cut the heads and bodies of the Argentine Red Shrimp in half lengthwise.
  4. Remove the stomach-like part from the head of the Argentine Red Shrimp.
  5. Lightly season the cut sides of the prepared Argentine Red Shrimp with salt.
  6. Remove the tough stems from the Italian Parsley and roughly tear the leaves.
  7. Cut the Fruit Tomatoes in half horizontally, then cut each half again for a total of four pieces.
  8. Heat Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a frying pan and sear the Argentine Red Shrimp shell-side down over high heat until fragrant. (The Secret!) Searing the shells releases sweetness and umami into the sauce.
  9. When the Argentine Red Shrimp meat is lightly cooked, remove the pan from the heat and take out the shrimp.
  10. Add 50cc of Brandy to the frying pan, remove from heat, and let the alcohol evaporate.
  11. Continue by adding 150cc of White Wine and reduce.
  12. Add the Fruit Tomatoes and reduce until the liquid is one-third of the original amount.
  13. Add water to a pot to transfer the umami from the Argentine Red Shrimp into the liquid.
  14. Remove the Argentine Red Shrimp that have released their flavor.
  15. Heat Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a separate frying pan and add garlic and chili pepper to infuse flavor.
  16. Add the shrimp-flavored broth (from step 13) to the frying pan to infuse with the flavors of the garlic and chili pepper.
  17. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt. (The Secret!) Since the shrimp itself contains salt, keep the sauce seasoning light.
  18. Add the 120g of Linguine to the sauce 2 minutes before it's supposed to be done boiling, and let it cook until al dente to absorb the flavor.
  19. If the sauce becomes too dry, add some pasta cooking water while reducing.
  20. Return the reserved Argentine Red Shrimp to the sauce and warm through.
  21. Add the torn Italian Parsley and finish by drizzling with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  22. Plate and serve. It's ready!
