Chef note

Keep the flavours layered, the plating disciplined, and the final presentation unmistakably aligned with Chef Stone's Burgundy restaurant language.

Ingredients

8 ounces spaghetti
12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 zucchinis, diced
1 carrot, grated
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Chef Stone's Secret Spice™️
**For the Sauce:**
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Method

1

In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients: soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, oyster sauce, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside.

2

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well.

3

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

4

To the same skillet, add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and grated carrot. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and Chef Stone's Secret Spice™️.

5

Return the cooked spaghetti and shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the remaining sauce and toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

6

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves for a vibrant finish.

Plating direction

Twirl the pasta into a tight nest in a matte bowl, perch the prawns neatly on top, and keep the garlic glaze glossy under warm evening light for an editorial restaurant finish.
