SAMBUCA FLAMBE SHRIMPS



SAMBUCA FLAMBE SHRIMPS image

Categories     Fish     Appetizer

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 raw shrimps, without shell, deveined, tail on.
1 cup 15% cream
2 to 4 oz of Sambuca (more or less to taste)
1 tea spoon of tomato paste (more or less to taste)
Olive oil - about 1 tablespoon or enough to sauté the shrimps.

Steps:

  • Sauté shrimps on high heat until cooked. On Low-medium heat, add Sambuca and light up quickly before the alcohol evaporates to flambé the shimps. When the fire stops add the cream and the tomato paste, stir in well and serve hot with toasted french baguette

Tips:

  • Use large shrimp for this recipe. They will be easier to handle and cook evenly.
  • Make sure the shrimp are peeled and deveined before cooking. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shrimp.
  • Use a heavy skillet or sauté pan for cooking the shrimp. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the shrimp from sticking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality sambuca for this recipe. A cheap sambuca will not have the same flavor or aroma.
  • Be careful when flambéing the shrimp. Make sure to stand back from the pan and use a long match or lighter.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately after cooking. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Sambuca flambé shrimp is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your shrimp spicy or mild, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook shrimp, give this recipe a try.
