Day 1, Carbonara Scampi
Last night, I was craving for something easy with no red meat or chicken. I know we had scampi in the freezer, so ask my hubby to take it out so that when I get home from work, it would be ready. Then I just checked our fridge for whatever veggies is lying around that needs using. I found the following:
4 tbs oil
CARBONARA SCAMPI |
1 pc white onions, sliced
250 grams peeled scampi
6 stalks celery, sliced
1 tbs flour
1/8 cup water
1 small can sliced mushrooms
1 tsp chili flakes (to taste)
1 tsp provence herb mix
1/4 cup whole milk
250 grams spaghetti (cook according to package instruction)
salt & pepper to taste
1 pc egg
chopped or minced green onions
grated parmesan
- Saute garlic in a hot wok with olive oil. Then add the onions til its cooked, add the scampi, saute for a few minutes or til it is pink in color then add the flour. Mix very well until it coats the scampi, then add the rest of the ingredients except for the egg.
- Once you see that the water has combined with the milk and thickened a bit, mix the pasta in the wok. Add salt & pepper according to taste. Crack the egg on the pasta and mix very well until the egg coats the pasta. Switched off your stove.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and grated parmesan.
