Head Chef
Hello there guys i was sitting around and this recipe popped in my head, not really a recipe but rather the makings of a good meal. It sounds like it could be so delicious, it just appeared as a vision in my head.
Here are the ideas I have, i hope some of you all can help me work this out and make it a reality, as I can't wing something with ingredients this expensive.
Okay, basically i want to cook up some penne and toss it with shrimp and lobster mushrooms, in a white wine based sauce.
Question 1 - Do you think a white wine based sauce would go good with these ingredients?
Question 2 - How should i make this white wine sauce? IE - Ingredients, etc. I also mean how should i apply it to incorporate it into the pasta. Should i throw some olive oil in a pan, throw in some garlic, then sautee the lobster mushrooms, then throw in white wine, then just reduce it or something? I have no idea which order to do this.
Question 3 - What is the best way to prepare these Fresh Gulf Shrimp for this recipe? - Im in houston and can get fresh shrimp, But no idea how i should cook them with this pasta. They wil be medium large shrimp. Should i clean them and then cut them in half, then sautee them? Please help!
Question 4 - Should this dish be a butter based sauce instead of olive oil? Where does butter fit into this?
Question 5 - Are there any good shrimp to use besides fresh gulf shrimp? Im trying to get the shrimp to taste as least FISHY as possible. I have a great gourmet market here and they have many kinds of shrimp, but only one kind of fresh shrimp.
Here is another kicker. This might actually make things the easiest.. let's say this is the Iron Chef... and someone just gave you these ingredients.
Penne Pasta
Fresh Shrimp
Fresh Lobster Mushrooms
White Wine
Parmagiano Reggiano
Garlic Cloves
Olive Oil
Butter
What would YOU make out of them? Please specify how you personally would turn it into a meal. feel free to add a couple side ingredients but those are the basics.
Thanks guys i look forward to all of your replies. Also, if you feel this dish needs MORE ingredients than i listed, please tell me! As much flavor as possible is what i want in this dish.
