Shrimp Scampi with Thin Spaghetti

I was craving for a Shrimp Scampi last night...but it was kinda too late to have dinner, so I was like...aaalright.... I'll make it for lunch. At 2:00am I was awaken, my body was all itching... I want to scream...so I got up and took my allergy medication. Seriously... I am going insane with my allergy. I can't take it anymore...!!! So anyways, when I got up, I wished that it was already time to wake up and I don't have to go back to sleep anymore. Awkwardly, I was still thinking about shrimp scampi... mayynn...!! At last, lunch time is here...aaaahhh It was maaaaddd good....!! hahahahaa
I am satisfied :) happy and full.
Here's the recipe, I thought I should share it with you.
 This is an individual size

5 medium size shrimp
2 slices of bacon
1 portion of pasta
1 teaspoon of garlic ( I like to put extra because I like garlic)
1 tablespoon of butter
1/2 cup of white wine
4 tablespoon of chicken broth (click here for my chicken broth)
3 tablespoon of carnation milk
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of peas
1 tablespoon of small dice carrots
1 tomato (cut it to whatever you like)
1 tablespoon of fresh parsley
some cheese of your choice. ( i used mozzarella, just because i felt like it) 
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
some crush red pepper (optional)

First fry the bacon and set it aside, with the same oil and add a bit of olive oil + butter add garlic. (tip: turn off the heat to avoid garlic getting burn, you want the oil to absorb the garlic flavor).
Add wine and let it shimmer. It should reduce the amount of liquid in your pan.
Add the peas, carrot and tomato, then add shrimps + some chicken broth, then add milk. When the shrimps turn pink, you know they're cook. Add cheese, bacon, crush red pepper and parsley. turn off the heat and add a bit of lemon juice. Then add pasta and mix them together while they are still hot.


Happy Cooking! :)

Homemade Tortellini with white sauce & chicken

This is usually our Saturday or Sunday meal. It's very satisfying. I buy a pack of Wonton skin from the Asian supermarket. I like using Jack Pepper cheese and cooked ham. I always used the whole pack of wonton skin thus I ended up with a lot of leftover. So... I just put them on Ziploc and freeze them for a later use.

Tortellini
Use wonton's skin (it's quicker and the result is awesome too!)

Filling:

Put cheese (mozzarella or jack pepper etc) which ever you like
and cooked ham. Or you can use whatever filling you like.
Then you roll it make it like tortellini shape...
You can make them a lot and store them on a freezer for a later use.

For the sauce:
cut 2 strips of bacon into small pieces and fried them (then put them aside).

Optional:
You can add chicken
1 chicken breast divide it into half and pound it
Use Italian bread crumbs + all purpose flour for coating
Use a little bit of the bacon oil for frying

on a separate pan Saute about 3mins:
1 teaspoon of olive oil (or you can use the oil from bacon)
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon of Minced garlic
1/4 cup of carnation milk
a handful of peas (optional)
a splash of Bacardi liquor

Then add the tortellinis, let the sauce + tortellinis mix to absorb the taste for about about 3-4mins on a mid-fire
Turn off the stove and put some grated Parmesan cheese, this will thicken more of your sauce. If you like it really cheesy then put them a lot...

Salt + Pepper to taste

Then chopped some Italian Parsley
When the Tortellinis are ready put them on a plate and add the bacon + Parsley
Enjoy!
