Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

25 -30 large shrimp, raw and peeled (or jumbo)
3 tablespoons chopped garlic, fresh (see tip) or 3 tablespoons from a jars (see tip)
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
fresh ground sea salt, to taste (see tip)
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a large Ziplock freezer bag, mix everything except the butter and swish it around good to coat all of the shrimp. Or, mix everything in a large bowl and cover TIGHTLY with Saran wrap.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat large heavy bottom pan with the butter in it on medium. Toss shrimp around for about 10 minutes until pink and lightly browned.

  • Serve with steak or pasta with a white sauce.
  • I KNOW THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO MY OTHER SHRIMP RECIPE, BUT I MADE IT THIS WAY TONIGHT AND IT WAS SO UNBELIEVABLE THAT I HAD TO POST IT! EVEN BETTER THAN MY OTHER SHRIMP RECIPE!

Shrimp Cocktail with Three Sauces image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 20

Coarse salt
1 pound (about 25) large shrimp, heads (optional) and shells on
2 small mangoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 lemon, peeled and rind finely chopped (2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground white pepper
5 basil leaves, thinly sliced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon spicy stone-ground mustard, preferably Creole
3 tablespoons finely chopped celery
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped scallion
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chili sauce, such as Heinz
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp: Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Boil shrimp until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Drain, and refrigerate.
  • Make the mango-basil sauce: Pulse mangoes, lemon rind and juice, vinegar, salt, and white pepper in a food processor until smooth. Fold in basil. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
  • Make the tomato-horseradish sauce: Stir together chili sauce, horseradish, and lemon juice. Season with black pepper. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
  • Make the remoulade: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir in celery, parsley, and scallion. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately (or refrigerate for up to 1 day).
  • Place shell-on shrimp in a large bowl, or peel shrimp and arrange in small serving dishes. Serve with the 3 sauces on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it turns pink and opaque.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, onions, and celery, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces: The recipe included a classic shrimp sauce made with butter, garlic, and white wine, but you can use any sauce you like. Some other good options include tomato sauce, Alfredo sauce, or pesto.
  • Serve shrimp sauce over your favorite pasta or rice: Shrimp sauce is delicious served over pasta or rice. You can also serve it with roasted vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Shrimp sauce is a versatile and delicious dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, shrimp sauce is a great option. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your shrimp sauce turns out perfect every time.
