Adding Tomato Paste to Shrimp for Tuna & Shrimp with Cucumber Spaghetti

Okay, now we have our shrimp cooked up nicely, as you can see. What I'm going to do, I just decided to do this, I'm going to add a little tomato paste. Tomato paste is going to add a nice color to this, plus it always adds a little extra flavor. So a little tomato paste and what I'm going to do is cook that in onto the bottom of the pan and, once that's cooked down, we'll deglaze the pan again with a little bit of water and the outcome of the sauce, it should have a light pink color to it and it will be very tasty. It'll add to the color. As you can see, the tomato paste is cooking on the bottom of the pan. It's also absorbing the liquids. So we're going to cook this. Let me give it a little higher heat. There we go. Very nice. Okay. Now we're going to hit it with water one more time. We have a lot of flavor going on here. Just a little water, just enough to bring everything off the bottom of the pan. Okay? So, see the color. The color is getting nice and rich. Alright, I'm going to add the basil. There we go. Okay, you can see how that's reducing. It's a nice medium consistency. Now, at this stage, what I'm going to do is add the cream and I'm going to let the cream reduce. Okay? So, we'll go with about a cup of cream and we will reduce it by half. And that's one cup. Okay. So we'll let this roll. And while this is cooking, we'll get our tuna prepared, ready to saute.
