Okura And Sakura Shrimp Japanese Style Spaghetti Recipes

Steps:

• Blend the arugula and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add 1/2 cup of oil, processing until well blended. Transfer the pesto to a large bowl. Stir in the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Prepare the grill (high heat). Using a knife, cut the back of the shrimp. Brush the shrimp with oil. Sprinkle with salt. Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Toss the pasta with the pesto in the large bowl to coat, adding the reserved cooking liquid 1 tablespoon at a time to moisten. Top with the grilled shrimp. Garnish with the lemon zest and parsley.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the cooking water.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir red bell pepper in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in okra, soy sauce, sake, and mirin; cook for 1 minute.
• Stir cooked spaghetti, reserved cooking water, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil into the skillet. Mix in half of the shrimp; cook for 1 minute.
• Scoop spaghetti mixture into a bowl. Garnish with remaining shrimp.

Steps:

• Prick spaghetti squash with a fork and place in a large kettle.
• Cover with water and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes.
• Drain and slice the squash in half.
• Remove the seeds and cool.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and saute crushed garlic cloves.
• Add peeled, cleaned shrimp, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add watercress, chopped tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and pine nuts.
• Stir until well heated, about 2 minutes.
• Scrape the squash lengthwise to separate the strands.
• Pour the shrimp mixture over the squash to serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the 3 egg yolks, whole egg, and a little vegetable oil.
• Note: Be careful to add the oil very slowly. If too much is added at once, the mixture will separate and be wasted. You can tell the mixture has separated when it does not look smooth and creamy like mayonnaise.
• Using a hand-held blender, begin mixing until of mayonnaise consistency, slowly adding the rest of the oil.
• Add white pepper, salt, soy sauce, and remaining oil.
• Mix until well blended.
• Use with seafood or chicken, covering with sakura sauce when almost completely cooked.
• Sprinkle wine around food, simmering for 3 to 4 minutes, and serve.
• *The wine creates steam so sauce will cook on top.

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the mushrooms and onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and brown in places, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the soaked kombu reserved from the dashi if desired and the rice; stir to combine. Add the dashi, soy sauce and mirin. Stir, adjust the heat so it bubbles gently, and cover. Cook until the rice is almost fully tender, about 15 minutes.
• When you remove the cover, the mixture should still be a little soupy (add a little dashi or water if it's dried out). Stir in the shrimp and peas, then raise the heat a bit and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, the shrimp cooked and the mixture is still moist but not soupy, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired and serve.
• Combine the kelp and 8 cups water in a large pot over medium heat. Do not allow the mixture to come to a boil; as soon as it is about to, turn off the heat, add the bonito flakes and stir. Remove the kelp and reserve it to add to the rice if desired. Let sit for a couple of minutes, then strain. Use the dashi immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
