This is a dish I made for my wife when she got off work the other night. I thought it came out great. Most of the things used you can get anywhere but the harissa sauce you might have to get at a middle eastern market or specialty store. Harissa sauce is from Tunisian and is popular in a lot of north African cooking. I like it as a condiment but it also works well as an ingredient as i found out when I made this dish. What you need to get started is as follows:
your favorite type of pasta
2 Tb extra virgin olive oil
1 roasted red pepper sliced
1 shallot diced
3 cloves garlic smashed and sliced
.5 # shrimp peeled, de-vained and butterflied
5oz white wine
4 Tb flat leaf parsley chiffanade
1 Tb harrissa sauce
3 Tb parm
s&p to taste
1 Tb butter
First bring a large saute pan up to medium heat add the garlic shallots and oil cook until they are soft. Next add the shrimp and red peppers cook until the shrimp are about half done then add the white wine and harissa. Toss the shrimp a few times then add every thing but the parm and toss it until the pasta is well coated then add the parm. This completes the shrimp pasta for Marty.
