LOUISIANA SHRIMP BAKE



Louisiana Shrimp Bake image

This is kinda like etouffee..sort of. I thought it was delish sounding when I heard about it. I have tweaked it a bit from the original, since I hate hard-boiled eggs and didn't have any cooking sherry. I replaced the sherry with some Old Bay (which I have just discovered in '05) and didn't replace those nasty eggs with anything. The recipe calls for a pound of tomatoes. Since I usually make this in the fall/winter, I use DM's home-canned tomatoes in some juice. I really like this - some Southern comfort food at its best.

3 cups cooked rice

There is another recipe quite similar to this one, except for one addition: Beer. I'm not that crazy about the taste of beer in cooking, so here is my recipe.

Provided by Barenakedchef

Categories     Savory

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, melted
3/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon hot sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 lbs unpeeled large shrimp or 2 1/2 lbs shrimp
2 lemons, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
fresh rosemary (to garnish)

  • Pour butter mixture over shrimp.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 400ºF for 20 to 25 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.
  • Baste occasionally with pan juices.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook your shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Add vegetables to your shrimp bake. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Vegetables such as corn, potatoes, carrots, and zucchini work well in a shrimp bake.
  • Season your shrimp bake generously. Use a combination of herbs and spices to create a flavorful dish. Garlic, paprika, and lemon pepper are all good options.
  • Serve your shrimp bake with a dipping sauce. This will add extra flavor and moisture to the dish. A simple butter sauce or a creamy dill sauce are both good choices.

Conclusion:

California style shrimp bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
