• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, red peppers and paprika and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are heated through and the butter is fragrant and vibrant red, about 2 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the shrimp and cook until they are firm and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked pasta, Parmesan and 1 teaspoon salt and toss until well coated (see Cook's Note). Sprinkle with parsley.

SHRIMP WITH CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• 1. In a skillet: Melt the butter with the garlic, thyme, and chives.
• 2. Add the wine. Cook about a minute or two to eliminate the alcohol.
• 3. Add the shrimp and chanterelles, and cook until the shrimp turn pink. About 5 minutes or less. Don't overcook the shrimp.
• 4. Sprinkle with a few drops of truffle oil before serving.
• 5. ALTERNATIVELY while you're getting ready for work (this is what I actually did this morning). Melt the butter with the garlic, thyme, chives and wine in the microwave for 1 minute. Put everything into an oven safe dish. Cover tightly and shake to coat. Turn the oven on to 375. (I used a little toaster oven, but just made a single serving) It's done in 10-15 minutes - about the time it takes to shower.
• 6. I steamed some green beans and grabbed a pre-made serving of brown jasmine rice from the freezer to go along with this. Then put it in a container, sprinkled the truffle oil and headed out the door. If I were to serve this for dinner, I'd serve it over some fragrant rice with green beans, which go well with the chanterelles.

DEEP FRIED SHRIMP AND CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For the dip, rinse the dill, shake dry, put some dill for garnish aside, and finely chop the rest. Mix the chopped dill with yogurt, chile pepper and season with salt and pepper. Blanch the tomato, peel, halve, core and dice the flesh. Peel the garlic, finely chop and mix with 2/3rd of the diced tomato. Fill the yogurt dip into a cup and garnish with a little dill and the remaining tomato. For the skewers, thread the shrimp and chanterelle mushrooms individually on wooden skewers, ensuring that the shrimp is straight.
• For the batter, separate the eggs. Whip the egg whites to a stiff snow. Beat the yolks with 1 tablespoon water and the flour, mix with the egg whites, season with salt, and fold in some breadcrumbs. Dip the skewers into the batter and deep fry in hot frying oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Pull the finished shrimp and mushrooms from the skewers and serve garnished with the dip, and with dill.

CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Brush any loose dirt from the chanterelles. Do not wash. Trim off the bottoms of the stems if they are tough. If chanterelles are not uniform in size, cut in halves or quarters.
• In a large sauté pan, heat two tablespoons of oil until almost smoking. Add half of the chanterelles and toss a few times; season with salt and pepper and toss again. Drain and set aside. Repeat with the remaining oil and chanterelles. Then marinate with the vinaigrette for at least one hour, adding more, if necessary.
• When the chanterelles are cool, toss with parsley.

COD WITH CHANTERELLES AND PARSLEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the parsley sauce. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add parsley leaves. Blanch for 20 seconds only and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain and press leaves against strainer to squeeze out water, then squeeze by the handful. Transfer to a small food processor fitted with the steel blade or a mini-chop and turn on the machine. When chopped leaves adhere to the sides of the machine, stop and scrape down sides with a spatula. Turn on again and add oil with the machine running. Purée until smooth. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and continue to work until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Oil a baking dish that can accommodate all of the fish. Season fish with salt and pepper. Place in baking dish. Drizzle oil over fish, add wine and a squeeze of lemon to pan and cover tightly. Bake 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets), until fish is opaque and pulls apart when a fork is inserted.
• While fish is baking, cook mushrooms. Heat a medium-size or large skillet over high heat and add olive oil. Add mushrooms and let them sit and sear for several seconds, then stir and toss in the pan for about 1 minute, until they begin to sweat. Turn heat to medium and add garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Toss or stir in the pan for another minute or two, just until the mushrooms have softened. Add wine and cook, stirring and scraping up any residue from the bottom of the pan, until wine has evaporated. Stir in lemon zest. Taste and adjust seasoning. Turn off the heat.
• When fish is done, tip or spoon some of the liquid from baking dish into parsley purée and stir together with pestle until sauce is smooth and has a creamy consistency.
• Place a piece of fish on each of 4 plates. Spoon parsley sauce onto plate, next to fish. Place mushrooms on parsley sauce and serve.

SAUTéED CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Cut the base of the stems of the chanterelles. If the mushrooms are very gritty, rinse them quickly under cold running water and pat them dry. Otherwise, clean them carefully with a soft paint or pastry brush. Cut the large mushrooms into bite-size pieces; leave the smaller ones whole.
• Heat the butter in a frying pan. Add the chanterelles and saute for two to three minutes or until they start to become soft. Add the wine and when it has evaporated, add the chicken stock. Cook over high heat until it has almost evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley, thyme or chives.
