Thanks. One of my favorite things is eating stuffed shrimp. Yours look tasty.

That's beautiful. Does Carpaccio still mean raw?

Traditionally, yes! I'm using it to describe the shrimp as sliced thin..

I was looking at the thread and thinking the same.

This recipe is a mashup inspired by three great dishes: Donald Link's Spicy Ground Shrimp Pasta at Peche, Chris Morrocco's Spicy Sweet Sambal Pork and Noodles, and Yotam Ottolenghi's Shrimp Bolognese.

I wrote this recipe very loosely, so I wouldn't recommend following it.

Spicy Sweet Sambal-Curry Shrimp Bolognese



Reminder that Grand Isle shrimp is $4.99 at LA Boilers.



Peel the shrimp and get a stock going.





Pop shrimp into the freezer for a chill while you prep.



First up, the aromatics. Garlic, ginger, onion, and fennel.



Process finely.





Next is the shrimp's turn.





You don't want the shrimp pastey. Pulse carefully.

Time to start cooking. Starting here with some reserved bacon grease. Heat that until melted and hot.



Fry in the bacon grease some lemon peel and tarragon. Remove as much as you can when done. In hindsight, I'd use whole tarragon since it was being removed. But it was fine in the dish!



Next is the processed aromatics.



Along with it, some sugar and curry powder. I chose Thai curry powder this time.



Tomato paste and basil.





In goes the shrimp. Cook until cooked through. Break up with spoon if it isn't staying ground up.





Sambal oelek to your spicy preference.



Soy, rice vinegar, and shrimp stock until it is looking saucy for you.





Simmer 15 minutes.



Add your carrots and simmer 15 minutes more.



Cook your noodles.



These are made by boiling water, removing from heat, and letting the noodles soak 8-10 minutes.



Simmer together with some pasta water if needed.





Remove from heat and add plenty basil.



Plate and finished with a big ole squeeze of fresh lime.







My lighting combined with the frustrating way Imgur dulls your photos is so just aggravating.

My prediction is he'll intentionally submit after the deadline. Not to try and break the rules, but because he can't let himself just not participate, even if he is not wanting to compete.

This could easily be eaten with lettuce like shrimp larb. Good looking dish!

Darla, can we get with the mods and create an archive of the submissions threads so these recipes don’t disappear into the TD search abyss?

I have no clout and the mods don’t know I exist, but it’s a great idea.

Would I ask on the Help board?
