A first-prize winner in a Chapagetti recipe contest, this Gambas Chapagetti combines shrimp and garlic cooked in olive oil with rich black bean sauce.

  • Total Time: 10
  • Yield: 1 servings

Ingredients

Main

  • 2 ladlefuls reserved noodle cooking water
  • 1 package Chapagetti
  • Peeled and deveined shrimp, as much as you like
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic (or 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced)
  • About 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 ladlefuls reserved noodle cooking water

Optional

  • A little peperoncino, for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving some cooking water.
  2. Cook Garlic: Add the olive oil, garlic, and included vegetable flakes to a pan. Cook over low heat until fragrant. Add peperoncino, if using.
  3. Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp and cook through.
  4. Add Sauce: Add the noodles, 2 ladlefuls of reserved cooking water, and the included black bean sauce powder.
  5. Reduce Sauce: Toss over high heat until the sauce coats the noodles and reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Serve: Turn off the heat, plate, and drizzle with the included seasoning oil.

Notes

  • Keep the noodles slightly undercooked initially, as they will continue cooking in the sauce.
  • Thaw frozen shrimp and pat dry before cooking to reduce oil splatter.
  • For a spicy twist, try my Microwave Chapagetti with a Sichuan Hack.
