SPICED POTTED SHRIMP



Spiced Potted Shrimp image

In the history of British cuisine, potting perishable foods - that is, sealing ingredients in a crock under a thin layer of clarified butter - was a way to preserve them. Thanks to modern refrigeration, preservation is no longer the point, but luscious, buttery potted dishes are still popular throughout Britain. Here, diced shrimp are aggressively seasoned with anchovy, celery seed, lemon zest and garlic before being sealed into ramekins. Potted shrimp is a very rich dish, best served in small quantities with hot toast on the side to melt the solidified butter back into a creamy sauce. Or, scoop out the shrimp and butter and mix it with hot pasta to create an instant scampi-like dish.

Categories     finger foods, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (3 sticks)
4 anchovy fillets, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh thyme or lemon thyme, minced, more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon mace (or nutmeg)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
Pinch celery seed
1 pound peeled shrimp, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 garlic clove, grated on a Microplane or minced
Lemon wedges, for serving
Tabasco, for serving
Hot toast, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Let cook, skimming the foam off the top of the butter, until the white milk solids fall to the bottom of the pan. Carefully pour about half the clarified butter into a measuring cup with a spout and set aside. Leave remaining butter and all those milk solids in the skillet.
  • Add anchovy, thyme, lemon zest, mace, salt, pepper, cayenne and celery seed to skillet. Stir in shrimp and cook over medium heat until pink, about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in garlic.
  • Divide shrimp among 8 ramekins, top with the remaining herbed butter from the skillet and chill until set, about 1 hour.
  • Pour reserved clarified butter on top and chill until set, about 15 minutes, or up to 5 days (or freeze for up to 1 month). Remove ramekins from the refrigerator at least 20 minutes to 1 hour before serving with lemon wedges, Tabasco and hot toast.

SPICED SHRIMP



Spiced Shrimp image

The basic recipe for these quickly broiled shrimp is elastic, easily halved or scaled up. And the spice choices can vary. Here I have opted for ras el hanout, a complex North African blend that delivers modest peppery heat along with pungent elements of cumin, fenugreek and coriander, as well as the warm astringency of allspice and cloves. Harissa, a North African hot sauce, seasons the dip. Serve it as an appetizer or pair it with a grain like rice or farro, or a buttery tumble of fluffy couscous for a more substantial meal.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound large shrimp, about 20, preferably Gulf, shelled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon harissa paste, or to taste
1 tablespoon finely minced cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons ras el hanout (Moroccan spice blend)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 lemon, seeds removed

Steps:

  • Place shrimp in a bowl and add the salt. Mix well and set aside 30 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the yogurt and mix in the harissa and cilantro. Transfer to a serving dish and set aside.
  • Heat broiler. Rinse and dry shrimp, place in a bowl and add the ras el hanout. Toss to mix thoroughly. Select a shallow baking dish that will hold the shrimp snugly in a single layer. Brush with a little of the butter. Arrange shrimp in the dish and brush with remaining butter. Broil close to the source of heat until shrimp are lightly browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. (Alternatively, the shrimp can be placed on soaked wooden skewers, about 3 shrimp per stick, and broiled or grilled over high heat, turning once.) Squeeze the lemon over the shrimp.
  • Serve as a cocktail snack directly from the dish with picks to skewer shrimp and harissa dip alongside.
