Shrimp recipe??

Shrimp...anything...please give me ideas ..

Re: Shrimp recipe??

I peel them and devein them. Then I toss them in a little olive oil, a lot of minced garlic, kosher salt and a pinch of pepper. Lay them on a pan and roast in the oven at 400 for 7 minutes (or until cooked through). Meanwhile .. I cook some pasta - drain it and stir in some spinach and a scant 1/4 cup of warm chicken broth and a pat of butter. Pour the cooked shrimp and it's juices over the pasta, stir and serve with a salad and some nice garlic bread.

OR marinate them in lemon, garlic and olive oil, skewer them and grill them until cooked. Lay them over a bed of lemon rice pilaf with a side of steamed broccoli and a tomato onion and mint salad.

for the easiest shrimp recipe ever...

Preheat the oven to 450.

Then in a small saucepan, add one stick of butter, a squirt of dijon mustard, a squirt of lemon juice (I use 1/2 lemon), 1-2 cloves chopped garlic, and some chopped fresh parsley. Remove from heat when the butter melts.

Put shrimp in a baking dish and pour the butter mixture over it. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque.

Re: Shrimp recipe??

I've made this shrimp too... and it's yummy! I have picture of mine on this thread

Re: Shrimp recipe??

I made this last night...sorry no exact measurments: Mine fed 2 people

I used a peeler to peel the garlic - worked out well - didn't have to cut it so evenly.

Anyway:
Garlic (2-5 cloves - I wasn't kissing anyone)
White wine ( couple glugs)
chicken stock (3/4 can)
boil to reduce to 1/2
Add in petite diced tomatoes (3/4 can)

cook pasta a dente (will finish w/shrimp)

add shrimp (I also used scallops) to wine/broth/tomatoes until almost cooked.

Wilt in spinach, add pasta to finish
cooking.

ENJOY!!!!

Re: Shrimp recipe??

My mom makes a GREAT shrimp and rice salad

she boils the shrimp and cuts them up into small bite sized pieces. at the same time makes white rice.

She mixes the 2 hot things together then let cool in the refrigerator.

she cuts up green olives stuffed with pimentos and green & red peppers.

When the rice mixture is cold she mixes in the veggies and mayo until mixed together.
serve cold

Re: Shrimp recipe??

I made this and it was so yummy. The only thing is, the shrimp do NOT take 12-15 minutes to cook on 450. They cook much faster, just keep an eye on it.

simple shrimp fra diavolo

* 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined
* 1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
* 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
* 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
* 1 medium onion, sliced
* 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
* 1 cup dry white wine
* 3 garlic cloves, chopped
* 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
* 3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
* 3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

1. Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and basil. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.
