Spicy Shrimp and Sugar Snap Peas
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked linguini pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound sugar snap pea pods
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large vessel with salted water and placing it on the stovetop to reach its boiling point. Next, introduce the linguini pasta into the pot and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until it reaches a satisfying firmness. Remove the pasta from the water, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid for later use.
2
In a separate cooking vessel, heat a mixture of olive oil and chili oil over medium-high heat. Introduce the shrimp, pea pods, and garlic into the wok and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the shrimp turn a translucent shade. Remove the wok from heat and set it aside for the time being.
3
Now, pour the wine into the wok and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Continue cooking until the liquid has reduced by 1/3, at which point you can proceed with the next step.
4
Return the shrimp, pea pods, and garlic to the wok and stir in the reserved pasta water. Continue cooking and stirring until the shrimp have fully transformed, then remove the wok from heat.
5
Mix the butter, lemon juice, and basil into the wok to combine. Finally, toss this mixture with the cooked linguini pasta to serve.
