SPICY SHRIMP BOIL WITH LEMON BUTTER



Spicy Shrimp Boil With Lemon Butter image

In this very spicy, very messy shrimp feast, diners peel their own shrimp, then dunk them in hot sauce-spiked shrimp broth, a bowl of melted lemon butter or both. Many shrimp boils call for adding corn, sausage and potatoes to the pot. This one focuses solely on the shrimp, though feel free to add the other ingredients if you'd like to bulk it up. Crusty bread for serving is a must, both to sop with the last bits of broth and butter, and as a palate-soother, for when the building heat of the cayenne and hot sauce starts to burn.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large onion, halved
1 head garlic, sliced in half crosswise to expose the cloves
1/4 cup Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick)
1 lemon, halved
1 tablespoon minced shallot (optional)
1 tablespoon Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce, plus more as needed
2 pounds large shell-on shrimp
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring 6 cups water with the onion, garlic, Old Bay, peppercorns, salt and cayenne to a boil in a large pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Meanwhile in a small pot, melt the butter. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the pot. Stir in shallot, if using, and season butter to taste with hot sauce and salt. Set aside for serving.
  • Squeeze juice from the other half the lemon into the large pot, then toss in squeezed lemon half. Stir in 1 tablespoon hot sauce and shrimp. Bring just to a simmer (not a boil), then lower the heat so the mixture continues to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through.
  • Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a large serving bowl or platter. Taste shrimp broth and add more salt and hot sauce if necessary.
  • Strain shrimp broth into serving bowls. Divide melted butter into small bowls, one per guest.
  • To serve, give each guest a bowl of spicy shrimp broth and a small bowl filled with seasoned butter for dipping. Guests should peel shrimp and dunk in broth, butter or both. Serve with bread on the side and plenty of napkins, and a bowl for the shrimp shells.

Provided by sweaver

Categories     Pasta by Shape

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
¼ cup chicken broth
1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, succulent shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Properly devein and clean the shrimp: Deveining removes the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat. To devein shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp, then gently pull out the vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp before cooking: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs infuses them with flavor and helps to keep them moist during cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque: Overcooking shrimp can make them tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they turn from translucent to opaque.
  • Make the basil mayonnaise in advance: The basil mayonnaise can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a convenient option for busy weeknight meals.

Conclusion:

This spicy lemon shrimp with basil mayonnaise is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp are succulent and flavorful, and the basil mayonnaise adds a creamy, herby touch. Serve the shrimp with rice or pasta, or simply enjoy them on their own. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
