Provided by Jessy Freimann

Categories     Salad

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 32 ounce bag frozen peas, (thawed (do not thaw in the microwave))
1 pound cooked baby cocktail shrimp (if these are not available, you can dice larger shrimp like I did)
1 can water chestnuts (chopped)
1 bunch green onions, (chopped (white and green parts))
3/4 can salted cashews ((I chopped them in this but my mother in law leaves them whole- they taste delicious either way!)
Kosher salt, (to taste)
Ground black pepper, (to taste)
1/2 - 3/4 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Defrost the peas the night before in the refrigerator or in a colander under running cold water for a few minutes. Do not microwave the peas to defrost them, this will ruin the texture
  • Drain peas and then pat dry to remove excess water. Place into mixing bowl.
  • Add shrimp, water chestnuts, and green onion to the bowl.
  • Stir in mayonnaise. Start with a scoop or two and mix it. Add additional scoops as needed until you get the consistency you want. You want it the be lightly dressed without swimming in the mayonnaise (unless that's how you like it!).
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate until you're ready to serve.

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound medium shrimp (U41-50), shelled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Salt liberally.
  • In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the baking soda and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes (this keeps the shrimp moist with a nice crust on the outside).
  • Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the oil to the skillet, then arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the oil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until a nice crust is formed, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, then add the butter and garlic. Cook gently until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add the wine to deglaze and let simmer for 1 more minute. Add the peas and pasta. Toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper. Add a generous amount of Parmesan and toss again, adding the pasta water as necessary.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Garnish with more Parmesan and the parsley. Serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups dried black-eyed peas (9 ounces)
3 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh savory plus 1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely chopped, plus sprigs for garnish
2 medium carrots, peeled and halved crosswise
4 garlic cloves, 2 crushed, 2 thinly sliced
Coarse salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Boston lettuce, for serving

Steps:

  • Put peas into a medium saucepan, and cover with water by 4 inches. Add bay leaves, savory sprigs, carrots, and crushed garlic. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook until tender but not mushy; begin checking after 10 minutes more (cooking times will vary). Drain. Discard bay leaves, savory sprigs, carrots, and garlic.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic; cook until fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and 2 tablespoons water. Raise heat to medium-high. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque and water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add pea mixture, remaining 6 tablespoons oil, and the vinegar. Season with salt.

SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKPEA SALAD



Spicy Shrimp and Chickpea Salad image

This warm salad of garlicky shrimp and herby chickpeas comes together in just 15 minutes and requires very little effort. Canned chickpeas, Fresno chiles, parsley and red onion get a quick marinade in a creamy citrus dressing while the shrimp cooks in a little garlic and olive oil. Fresno chile adds a little heat, but if you're sensitive to spice, you can remove the membranes and seeds before adding the chile to the salad. Make the dish your own by adding arugula, or swap the parsley for cilantro or the shrimp for scallops. Serve warm with a hunk of crusty bread, and enjoy leftovers straight from the fridge the next day with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.

Categories     dinner, weekday, salads and dressings, main course

Time 15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
1 lime, zested and halved
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, diced (about 1/4 cup)
1 Fresno chile or jalapeño, cut into thin coins or seeded and diced
1 packed cup parsley leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
2 large garlic cloves, grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, patted dry

Steps:

  • In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
  • Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
