Wow! Another excellent recipe from the Chris Falco Kitchens. And, can you believe it, a recipe that DOES NOT USE RED MONKEY SPICE! I am as shocked and flabbergasted as the rest of you!
Note however, that while this recipes does not use the aforementioned spice, it does use just a spoonful of Sambal Oelek for zest, but, it is not at all hot to the palate. My daughter and I made it this evening and it was delicious!
Be advised that I will soon post a grilled shrimp recipe that I enjoyed last evening, but, I need to tweak the honey cream dill sauce first. That recipe DOES use Red Monkey Spice!

Chris Falco's Garlic Basil Shrimp with Rotini Pasta and Mushrooms
Serves Four
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, sliced or flattened
1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon Sambal Oelek
3 tablespoons tomato paste
8 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms
1 pound Jumbo Shrimp, tails removed
8 ounces of Dreamfiled Rotini Pasta
Preparation:
Place pot of water to boil for pasta. Spray one frying pan with Pam Olive Oil no-stick spray and place over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, stirring every couple of minutes until mushrooms are lightly browned. Remove from heat and leave covered. As soon as water is boiling add pasta and cook for 11 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
While pasta and mushrooms are cooking add to another frying pan the olive oil, basil (which should be torn or chopped into small pieces), and garlic. Cook over medium high heat until garlic begins to lightly brown and add shrimp, stirring frequently until they are just lightly browned.
Add Sambal Oelek and reduce heat to low and cover for about 5 minutes. Pour in mushrooms from first frying pan. Add tomato paste and stir well, if there is not enough moisture in the pan to form a thick sauce add a few tablespoons of water.
Drain pasta, mix in with shrimp and mushrooms, and serve with your favorite Parmesan or Romano cheese grated on top.

I am thinking of making a varitation on this recipe this evening, adding some chopped onions to the mix, and, another quarter cup of basil.
Now this sounds great I will be forwarding this to my wife to read. She enjoys new recipes.

I have seen you on David's blog, and visted yours as well.

If you enjoy the Red Monkey Spice, click on recipe as a keyword on my blog, most of my recent recipes use Red Monkey.
