\u201cIt\u2019s pasta night. You want something simple, light and healthy. Your motto for the night is\u2019 no slaving over the hot stove\u2019. Well, here is our go-to recipe for those days when you do want pasta but do not really want to watch sauces and meats simmering and bubbling endlessly. This beautiful shrimp with pasta & spinach is the perfect dinner when you want to whip up something in a jiffy\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whip up this super-delicious, flavour bomb in your kitchen. Once done, take a good look at the vibrant colours nestling on your plate. The plump, glistening pink Vannamei shrimps in a close tango with the quinoa and the broccoli. The warm, soothing orange of the sauce. The fresh green of the coriander. The golden goodness of the toasted coconut. Ah! You can almost feel the positive energy cruising through your veins, bringing back the oomph to your day.
Now close your eyes and take a deep breath of the fragrances wafting your way.
There is the tangy smell of the sea. A whiff of citrus tones. A nutty whisper. An earthy resonance. Yes, created with the most basic of ingredients, the Quinoa & Prawns in Coconut-Orange Sauce is a bit of magic on your plate. It transports you from dreary office confrontations to the bright sunshine of a day on the beach; from the mundane to the sublime; from the ordinary to the extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something amazing about\nshrimps. Sweet and plump, they add just a touch of magic to even the most\nmundane dishes. The star ingredient in this quick-but-oh-so-delicious recipe is\nundoubtedly the Vannamei Shrimp. They are a no-fuss kind of crustacean. They\nare also quite ready to mix and mingle. Therefore, you can pair them up with\nany kind of vegetable and grain without fear of committing a culinary faux pas.\nIndian Vannamei Shrimps are absolute flavour bombs. They pack such a punch that\nyou will need very few additional ingredients to make your dish into something\nspecial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, do not guilt trip yourself\nover serving up a quick dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are making this dish with\nfrozen shrimps, here is a tip which will save you much grief. Frozen shrimps\nshould never be soaked in warm or hot water to defrost them. If you have the\ntime, remove the shrimps from the freezer and place them in a colander in the\nfridge. If you are pressed for time, run the shrimps quickly under cold running\nwater. The idea is to not let the shrimps stand in water because that will ruin\nits flavour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dish is super light and\nhealthy. The paprika and red chilli flakes bring a subtle heat. The freshness\nand zest is packed in by the spinach, tomato and lemon. Here is one more reason\nto try out this recipe. If there are any leftovers after dinner (a rare possibility!),\nyou can tupperware it for a home-packed office lunch. With no heavy sauces, it\nmakes a delicious cold lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step in your prep is\nto cook the pasta. Boil water. Add salt and a spoonful of olive oil. Throw in\nthe pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and keep aside. Heat up a pan. On a\nlow flame, put in half the olive oil and butter. Let the butter melt into the\noil. Add half the garlic. When the fragrance of butter and garlic wafts in the\nair, add the shrimps. Be careful to keep the shrimps separate from each other.\nThis ensures quick and even cooking. Keep an eye on the pan. After a minute or\ntwo, flip the shrimps over. By now, they should be a beautiful pink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a reminder about making\ndelicious shrimp dishes. The trick is not to overcook. The minute the shrimps\ntake on a pink hue, you can be assured that they are perfectly done. Any more\ncooking and the shrimps will curl up in dismay and transform  themselves into tough, inedible pieces of protein.\nTrust us, that is an experience you would not want to have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your shrimps are nice and\npink, put in the tomatoes, spinach and the garlic. Again, this is a quick-cook\nmoment. All you need to wait for is for the spinach to wilt. This barely takes\na minute. When the spinach leaves start getting wrinkled and wet, add in the\nchilli flakes, pasta and half the parmesan cheese. Stir well, until the cheese\nmelts and coats the pasta giving it a yummilicious creamy texture. Squeeze in a\ndash of lemon juice and adjust the seasonings. Give a final twirl and switch\noff the gas. Transfer the pasta into a serving dish and garnish with the\nremaining parmesan cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s it. Your pasta is ready.\nServe it with hot, toasted garlic bread and a white wine. Enjoy your quick fix,\nhealthy dinner made with minimal ingredients. The fact that it is loaded with\ngoodness just makes it that much more enjoyable. The vitamin packed spinach and\nthe protein loaded shrimp make a great combination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
