Categories     appetizer

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 lemon, juiced
Fine sea salt, to taste
24 uncooked large shrimp, shell and tail on
1/2 cup Fish Fumet, recipe follows, or water
2 pounds heads and bones from black bass, red snapper or halibut
Cold water
2 tablespoons corn oil
1 medium onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
1/4 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced
1 leek, very thinly sliced
15 white peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 sprig fresh Italian parsley
1 bay leaf
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Place the butter in a small bowl and stir in the garlic, shallots, parsley, lemon juice and salt. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise, leaving them attached at the tail. Spread the shrimp open and arrange them in a shallow, oval flameproof casserole. Top the shrimp with generous dabs of the butter mixture and pour fumet or water into the dish. Broil the shrimp until they are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Arrange the shrimp in a line across 4 plates, so that the tail of each shrimp fits inside the shrimp in front of it. Whisk the liquid in the casserole dish and pour it over the shrimp. Serve immediately.
  • Remove the gills and eyes from the fish or have your fish store do it. Cut the heads and bones across into 4-inch pieces. Put them in a shallow pan and cover with cold water. Let stand for 1 hour, changing the water twice. Drain. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel, leek, peppercorns, salt, parsley and bay leaf. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the fish bones and cook, stirring from time to time, until the bones and any flesh around the bones turn from translucent to white, about 12 minutes. Add the wine and water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, skimming off the foam as it rises to the top. Remove from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Strain the fumet through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much of the flavorful liquid as possible. If you have more than 3 cups of fumet, place the liquid in a clean saucepan and boil until reduced to 3 cups. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

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.

CAJUN-STYLE BROILED SHRIMP



Cajun-Style Broiled Shrimp image

Shrimp, the most versatile seafood, is now the most popular in America, and there is no wrong way to eat it. Wild shrimp from the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico is a treat if you can find it. Fresh local shrimp from Maine or the Carolinas is an even rarer gem. (These are all preferable from a sustainability perspective.) A vast majority, of course, is farmed and frozen. If you buy it ''individually quick frozen'' in resealable bags, you can take out only as many as you want and thaw them by leaving the shrimp in the fridge for 24 hours or running them under cool water for an hour or less. Here, it is made Cajun with cayenne, paprika and garlic and quickly broiled.

Broiled Shrimp with Spicy Ginger-Lime Butter image

Categories     Ginger     Broil     Lime     Shrimp     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes .2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/2 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Melt butter in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Stir in ginger and cayenne. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and peel. Season ginger-lime butter to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place shrimp in bowl. Add ginger-lime butter; toss to coat. Transfer shrimp to small rimmed baking sheet. Broil until pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to plate; drizzle with pan juices. Sprinkle with onions. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm, translucent, and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are discolored, slimy, or have a strong odor.
  • Use a variety of spices. Tunisian cuisine is known for its bold, flavorful spices, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some common Tunisian spices include cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. Broiled shrimp pairs well with a variety of sides, such as rice, couscous, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Broiled shrimp with Tunisian spice is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and infused with a flavorful blend of spices. Serve them with your favorite sides and enjoy!
