3 tablespoons minced garlic

BROWN-BUTTER SHRIMP WITH HAZELNUTS



Brown-Butter Shrimp With Hazelnuts image

Shrimp is an ideal weeknight ingredient, for both its versatility and its quick-cooking nature. This one-skillet meal pairs sweet shrimp with crunchy hazelnuts that are toasted in oil to awaken and refresh their rich, nutty flavor. Browned butter infused with garlic gently cooks the shrimp, keeping them tender and juicy, and a final addition of lemon juice turns the mixture into a tangy, rich pan sauce. Leftovers can be tossed with greens for a quick and satisfying salad, or used for a seafood-based fried rice.

LEMON SHRIMP



Lemon Shrimp image

Provided by Marina Chang

Categories     Fish     Olive     Onion     Marinate     Lemon     Shrimp     Avocado     Boil

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup lemon juice, from approximately 2 large lemons
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon wine or sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 black olives, kalamata or oil-cured, pitted, and halved
6 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf, crumbled
Pinch of piment d'Espelette or cayenne powder
1 to 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp
2 to 3 teaspoons salt
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare marinade in a large bowl by combining lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, vinegar, oil, olives, anchovies, red onion, bay leaf, and piment d'Espelette.
  • Peel and clean shrimp, leaving tails on. Partially fill a pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Add shrimp and boil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until shrimp pinks and the flesh looks opaque. Remove immediately. Drain and place hot shrimp into marinade. If additional liquid is needed to cover most of the shrimp, add a few tablespoons of the shrimp poaching water to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours, turning the shrimp once.
  • Serve with avocado slices (if desired), on a salad, or by themselves as a shrimp cocktail.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, succulent shrimp. This will ensure that the shrimp are flavorful and have a good texture.
  • Clean the shrimp thoroughly. This will remove any sand or grit that may be present.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a light hand with the cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper can be very spicy, so it is important to use it sparingly. You can always add more cayenne pepper to taste, if desired.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. This will ensure that the shrimp are at their best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Cayenne shrimp with lemon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and garlic. The shrimp are then served over rice or pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
