With a touch of fresh parsley to brighten the plate, it's a perfect fusion of simplicity and elegance.

Ingredients:

6 oz pasta
170g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
8 oz shrimps
230g
3 tomatoes
390g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pasta:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente.
3. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Cook the Garlic and Chili:
1. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
3. Stir in the chili powder and cook for another 30 seconds.
3. Sauté the Shrimps:
1. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimps to the skillet.
2. Cook the shrimps for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
4. Prepare the Tomato Sauce:
1. Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down and form a sauce, about 5-7 minutes.
2. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
1. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly with the sauce.
2. Cook for 1-2 minutes more to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Finish and Serve:
1. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Plate and Enjoy:
1. Divide the chilli shrimp spaghetti between two plates.
2. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade meal!

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp to enhance the flavor of the dish.

- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp; they should be pink and opaque but still tender.

- Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your personal heat preference.

- For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of white wine while sautéing the garlic.

- Reserve a little pasta cooking water to add to the sauce if needed, to adjust the consistency.

By following these steps and tips, you can create a delicious Chilli Shrimp Spaghetti that’s sure to impress. The harmony of spicy, savory flavors with the fresh taste of parsley encapsulates a perfect dinner date experience. Enjoy this delightful meal with a loved one and savor every bite!
