Spicy Scampi El Sombrero Food

SOMBREROS

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingred. in small bowl. Should make 3 cups filling.
• Divide and spread filling on tortillas. Roll up tightly, jelly-roll style. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for overnight. Remove plastic wrap.
• Place on greased baking sheet. Bake in 350' oven for 15 minutes until hot and cheese is starting to melt. Let sit for 5 minutes before cutting. Cut each roll into 5 pieces. Pop back into oven for 5-10 minutes or until the appetizers start to make a "sombrero" shape! Makes 25 appetizers.

SAMBAL SHRIMP LINGUINE

Steps:

• Combine 64 ounces (1/2 gallon) water with 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot and bring to a hard rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente according to the package directions.
• While the pasta cooks, heat a large saute pan over high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 20 seconds. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring vigorously, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sambal, lemon juice, shrimp and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing, until the shrimp start to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the butter, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.
• The pasta should be al dente about now. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the pasta water, then drain the linguine; transfer both to the saute pan and cook over medium high heat, tossing, until mixed thoroughly.
• Remove from the heat and plate the pasta high and tight in the center. Garnish with the scallions directly on the pasta, then garnish that with the breadcrumbs. Enjoy!
