Garlic shrimp cooked in a creamy cilantro lime butter sauce. Serve this as an appetizer, with pasta, over rice or in tortillas for tacos. The recipe is easy to adapt. Swap lime for lemon and try other tender herbs like parsley, dill, basil or tarragon in place of cilantro.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Categories     appetizer, main meal

Time 20m

Yield Makes 1 pound shrimp (16 to 20 shrimp, depending on size)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled with tails left on and deveined
1 lime plus a few extra wedges for serving
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic, about 6 cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, optional
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp dry then season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • Use a microplane to zest the lime and set aside. Cut the zested lime in half ready for the sauce later in the recipe.
  • Add one tablespoon of the butter to a wide skillet. Save the remaining two tablespoons for later.
  • Place the skillet with butter over medium heat then add the garlic and coriander. Stir the garlic around the pan until the butter melts and is bubbling; about 1 minute.
  • Add the shrimp, nestling them into the pan so that they are in one layer. A few shrimp stacked on top of each other is okay. Cook until the shrimp start to turn pink, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the scallions and lime zest. Continue to cook, stirring, until the shrimp are firm and opaque throughout; another 1 to 2 minutes. Slide the skillet off of the heat.
  • With the skillet off of the heat, add the cilantro, juice from the lime and the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Stir the butter around the pan so that it melts into the lime juice making the creamy butter sauce.
  • Taste then season as needed with salt and pepper. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.

CORN SALAD WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND CILANTRO



Corn Salad With Tomatoes, Basil and Cilantro image

High summer produce comes together in this simple mix, tangy with lime juice and full of fresh herbs. Even in the height of the season, corn gets a touch sweeter when heated, and the easiest way to do it is in the microwave. It takes just a few minutes to zap the corn cobs in their husks, which makes them easy to shuck. The silks will slip right off the sweeter and still-crisp corn. Picking basil and cilantro leaves by hand then tearing them right over the salad keeps their delicate fragrance intact. Serve this with anything off the grill or alongside tacos or sandwiches.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, snack, weeknight, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ears of corn
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 lime
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
1/4 teaspoon minced seeded fresh habanero or other very hot chile (optional)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Microwave the corn in their husks on high for 3 minutes. Shuck the corn - the silks will come off easily. (If you want to boil or steam the corn on the stovetop, you can shuck the corn first then cook just until brighter in color, 2 to 3 minutes.) Cut the kernels off the cobs, transfer them to a large bowl and add the tomatoes.
  • Finely grate the zest of the lime directly over the corn mixture, then squeeze the juice from the lime all over. Add the oil, a generous pinch of salt and the chile, if using. Mix well, then tear the herbs over the salad and gently fold them in. Season to taste with salt and serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked quickly over high heat to prevent them from becoming tough. Overcooked shrimp will be rubbery and tasteless.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The tomatoes in this recipe should be ripe and juicy. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are firm and have a low water content.
  • Use fresh cilantro: Cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to this recipe. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use parsley as a substitute.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will become tough if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This shrimp with lime, cilantro, and tomatoes is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with lime juice, cilantro, and tomatoes. The dish is served over rice or pasta. This recipe is also very versatile. You can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or zucchini, to the sauce. You can also use different types of seafood, such as chicken or fish. No matter how you make it, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
