    Title: Ancho Chile, Shrimp & Pasta
    Categories: Pasta, Seafood, Cheese, Citrus, Chilies
    Yield: 2 Servings

    8 oz Long, thin pasta
    Salt & black pepper
    1/2 c Oil; grapeseed or canola
    3 cl Thin sliced garlic
    1 oz Dried ancho chilies; rinsed,
    - seeded, deveined
    1/2 lb (U-25) raw shrimp; peeled,
    - deveined, tails off, cut
    - in thirds
    Fresh grated Parmesan
    Lime or lemon juice; fresh

    Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta
    when you start this recipe. Once the water is boiling, add
    the pasta and cook until al dente. While the water is
    coming to a boil and while the pasta is cooking, prepare
    the rest of the recipe as follows.

    Heat oil in a small skillet on medium heat. Once the oil
    is hot, add sliced garlic. Cook until lightly browned,
    then remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.

    Thinly slice the ancho chilies (can chiffonade as you
    would with basil, just roll up into a cigar shape and
    slice crosswise). Add the sliced chilies to the hot oil
    and cook ONLY for 20 to 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted
    spoon to the bowl with the garlic. Do not over-cook the
    chilies or they will get bitter.

    Add the raw shrimp to the pan with the now chile and
    garlic infused oil. Increase the heat to high, cook for a
    couple minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp is
    just turning pink. Remove from heat. Add the shrimp and
    oil to the bowl with the garlic and chilies.

    Add the drained, cooked pasta to the bowl with the shrimp,
    garlic, chilies, and oil. Sprinkle with salt and black
    pepper and toss to combine. To serve, portion out into
    bowls, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and a little
    lemon or lime juice.

    Yield: Serves 2 as a main or 4 to 6 as a side.

    Title: Elise's Shrimp Scampi
    Categories: Seafood, Herbs, Wine, Citrus, Chilies
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 lg Large (U-20) shrimp, shelled
    - de-veined, * tails on or
    - off - your choice
    2 tb Olive oil
    3 tb Butter
    Salt
    4 cl Garlic; slivered
    +=OR=+
    1 tb Minced garlic
    1/2 ts Red pepper flakes; or more
    1/2 c White wine
    2 tb Fine chopped parsley
    Fresh ground black pepper
    1 tb Lemon juice

    * Shell on? or Shell off? It's really up to you. Shrimp
    cooked shell on are more flavorful because the shells
    infuse more flavor into the shrimp while they cook. But,
    shell-on is fussier to eat. If you remove the shells
    before cooking the shrimp, you can save them for making
    shellfish stock.

    Heat a sauté pan on high heat then reduce to medium high
    heat. Swirl the butter and olive oil into the pan. After
    the butter melts it will foam up a bit then subside. If
    using unsalted butter, sprinkle a little salt in the pan.
    Stir in the slivered garlic and red pepper flakes.

    Sauté the garlic for just a minute, until it begins to
    brown at the edges, then add the shrimp. Add the wine and
    stir to coat the shrimp with the sauce of butter, oil, and
    wine. Move the shrimp so they are in an even layer in the
    pan. Increase the heat to high and boil the wine for two
    to three minutes.

    Stir the shrimp and arrange them so that you turn them
    over to cook on the other side. Continue to cook on high
    heat for another minute.

    Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with
    parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper, and toss to
    combine.

    Serve as is, or with crusty bread, over pasta, * or over
    rice (for gluten-free version).

    * Linguine works very well - UDD
