Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 teaspoons sea salt
2 lemons, halved, plus more for serving
3 bay leaves
1 handful fresh thyme leaves
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay or Zatarains shrimp boil)
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, with shells, heads, and tails on
Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce, recipe follows
4 ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped

1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons grated fresh or prepared horseradish
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 shot pepper vodka
1 teaspoon celery seed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with about a 1/2 gallon of water, add the salt and squeeze in the lemon juice; toss the halves in there too for extra flavor. Add the herbs and seafood seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the water with the aromatics.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add shrimp. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are bright pink and the tails curl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and chill thoroughly before peeling. Serve with lemon wedges and Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce as part of a raw shellfish bar.

POACHED FISH IN SHRIMP SAUCE



Poached Fish in Shrimp Sauce image

This is a variation of a recipe which I found in an old cookbook I purchased over 25 years ago titled, The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking. I have changed it slightly to adapt to a less expensive version. It is really good with any kind of fish...but my favorite is with fresh salmon. If you read the entire recipe you will see that although it looks complicated at first glance it really is very easy and quick to make. Preparation time includes thickening time of cooking the sauce.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 53m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 fish fillets
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans shrimp, drained
1/3 cup margarine
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 1/2 quarts half-and-half
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms

Steps:

  • Sauce:Melt margarine in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Stir in flour then gradually add the half and half.
  • Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
  • Add remaining ingredients and simmer over very low heat while preparing fish.
  • Fish:Roll up each fillet from the larger end and secure with a toothpick and place in a glass 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Add milk, salt, and pepper to the fish.
  • Cover with waxed paper and microwave for 3 minutes on full power.
  • Remove fillets from baking dish, discard liquid and then put the fish back into the dish.
  • Pour hot shrimp sauce over the fish and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degees.

Tips:

  • To ensure the shrimp are cooked evenly, use a large pot so the shrimp can be spread out in a single layer.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough. The shrimp should be cooked for no more than 2-3 minutes, or until they are opaque and pink.
  • To make peeling the shrimp easier, devein them before cooking. You can also purchase shrimp that have already been deveined.
  • For a more flavorful dipping sauce, add a splash of white wine or lemon juice.
  • If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.

Conclusion:

Poached shrimp is a simple and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful poaching liquid, then served with a dipping sauce. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy meal, and it is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp.
