Garlic Shrimp With Peas image

Seek out shrimp in the shell and use the shells for a quick, easy seafood broth. Freeze what broth you don't use in the dish; it comes in handy when you need a seafood broth for a risotto or a stew.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp with shells, shelled and deveined; retain shells
Salt to taste
1 1/2 pounds fresh English peas, shelled (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups depending on size)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 head green garlic or 6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes, to taste
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
Cooked rice for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Place shrimp shells in a medium saucepan, add 1 quart water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Skim off foam, reduce heat, cover partly and simmer 30 minutes. Strain broth into a bowl and discard shells. Return broth to saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle shrimp with salt, toss and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Return broth to a boil and add peas. Boil 2 minutes, until just wrinkled and slightly tender. Scoop out with a skimmer or slotted spoon and set aside. Measure out 1/2 cup broth and set aside.

Turn heat to medium-high and add shrimp. Cook, stirring, until shrimp turns pink, about 2 minutes. Add peas, cilantro and parsley and continue to toss in the pan for another minute.
