Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Seafood     Shrimp     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
pound uncooked large shrimp
Toasted French bread

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Add garlic, rosemary and cayenne pepper and stir 30 seconds. Add wine and Worcestershire sauce and boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp to sauce. Simmer until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 3 minutes for peeled or 5 minutes for unpeeled. Serve shrimp with toast.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Shrimp: Choose fresh, plump, and medium-sized shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
  • Peeling and Deveining Shrimp: If using unpeeled shrimp, remove the shells and devein them properly to ensure a clean and flavorful dish.
  • Cooking the Shrimp: Boil or steam the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
  • Preparing the Mold: Generously grease the mold with butter or cooking spray to prevent the shrimp mold from sticking.
  • Layering the Ingredients: Arrange the shrimp, vegetables, and seasonings in layers within the mold, creating a visually appealing and flavorful dish.
  • Chilling and Unmolding: Allow the shrimp mold to chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight until it is firm. When ready to serve, dip the mold briefly in hot water to loosen the edges, then invert it onto a serving plate.
  • Garnishing and Serving: Garnish the shrimp mold with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of your favorite sauce before serving. Serve chilled as an appetizer or as part of a main course.
