Braised Shitake Mushrooms With Prawns Food

SHRIMP SHIITAKE NOODLES

Steps:

• Cook your noodles or pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook on both sides for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and starts to get golden brown. Transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside.
• Add the butter and sesame oil to the same skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the shallots and garlic and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the shallots have softened and the garlic is aromatic.
• Add the shiitake mushrooms and stir so that the mushrooms get coated in the butter. Turn the heat down to medium and cook the mushrooms until they start to lightly brown. Should take about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, stirring to get all the brown bits at the bottom. Cook for about 1 minute, the mushrooms should soak up all the wine.
• Stir in the dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and the reserved pasta water. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
• Add the noodles to the skillet and toss. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and garnish with the green onions.
• Serve while warm.

• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Wipe out skillet, add the remaining olive oil, and return to medium-high heat until shimmering. Add fish fillets and cook without moving until well browned on first side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip with a flexible metal spatula and cook on second side until just cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to plate with mushrooms.
• In the same skillet, add 1 cup stock and cook over high heat until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Off heat, stir in butter and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over fish and mushrooms and serve, garnished with fresh parsley, chives, and/or lemon wedges.
