Shrimp Caught in Spaghetti Nets

  • Prep 45 min
  • Total 45 min
  • Servings 24

Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 24 shrimp
  • Oil for frying

DIPPING SAUCE

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili flake

Steps

  • 1
    Cook the pasta like normal, in a pot of salted boiling water.
  • 2
    While the pasta boils, prep your shrimp so that they are deveined and the shells are removed except for the tail (or just buy them that way).
  • 3
    Strain. Do not rinse pasta or toss in oil. We need the pasta to be sticky!
  • 4
    Grab a small amount of pasta, about 15 strands. Straighten them out in your hand and use them like a rope to wrap around one shrimp. It doesn't need to be perfect. Use the stickiness of the pasta to keep everything in place, and set down on a plate or pan. Continue until all your shrimp are done.
  • 5
    Make sure to use a deep fry thermometer and a sturdy pot. Deep fry in 350°F oil until shrimp is cooked and pasta is lightly browned, about two and a half minutes. Remove from oil and place on rack to dry.
  • 6
    For the sauce, melt butter with rest of the ingredients and serve in a bowl alongside the shrimp.
