This recipe for pasta with spicy shrimps in garlic oil came about when I was looking for a quick but sophisticated dish that I could prepare after a long day at work. Inspired by Italian classics like Aglio e Olio, I refined it with shrimps and chili to give it a special touch. It is a dish that reminds me of sunny evenings by the sea, even when I am in the middle of a gray everyday life. The ingredients all play an important role in the taste and texture of the dish. The spaghetti form the base and should be of good quality so that they do not become too soft when cooked. The shrimps are the star of the dish and should be fresh or of good quality if they are frozen. They bring a light sweetness and a pleasant texture with them. The olive oil extra virgin is crucial for the taste of the dish. It should be a high-quality oil that has a fruity and slightly peppery taste. The garlic and chili provide the spiciness and flavor that make the dish so special. The parsley brings a fresh note and the lemon a light acidity that rounds off the dish. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to add the ingredients in the correct order. First, garlic and chili are crushed to release their flavors. Then the parsley is chopped to add it to the oil later. The garlic-chili oil is prepared separately so that the flavors can combine well. The shrimps are then steamed in the Thermomix® until they are cooked. Finally, the garlic-chili oil is added and the pasta is mixed in. Be careful not to cook the shrimps for too long, otherwise they may become tough. The reverse is important so that the shrimps are not crushed. For a vegetarian version, the shrimps can be replaced with tofu or mushrooms. For a vegan version, you can also use vegan spaghetti and, if necessary, vegan Parmesan. Instead of chili, other spices such as paprika or curry can also be used. If you don't like it too spicy, you can leave out the chili or use only half of it. Serve the pasta with spicy shrimps in garlic oil immediately after preparation. A fresh salad or a piece of bread goes well with it. If you like, you can add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top. A glass of dry white wine rounds off the dish perfectly. Leftovers of the pasta can be stored in the refrigerator and warmed up the next day. However, it tastes best when freshly prepared. The garlic-chili oil can also be prepared separately and stored in the refrigerator. So you always have it ready to hand when you need something quick.
