WARM SPICY BUTTER POACHED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Place the shrimp in a large glass bowl or baking dish. Add the hot sauce and essence and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. In a large saucepan, bring 3 tbsp of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low, and whisk in all the butter piece by piece until emulsified. Add the lemon zest, bay leaves, salt, cayenne, and garlic clove, and stir to combine. Add the shrimp and cook gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through, 6-8 min. Add the worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce, and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaves and garlic clove. Adjust the seasoning, to taste. Trasfer the shrimp to 4 large, shallow bowls. Spoon some of the butter sauce over each portion, and garnish with the parsley and green onions. Serve with slices of bread. Note: the secret to this is using a saucepan, not a skillet or saute pan, and cooking over very low heat - don't be impatient. This is very rich, so it's best served as an appetizer.
POACHED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Fill a large pot with about a 1/2 gallon of water, add the salt and squeeze in the lemon juice; toss the halves in there too for extra flavor. Add the herbs and seafood seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the water with the aromatics.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add shrimp. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are bright pink and the tails curl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and chill thoroughly before peeling. Serve with lemon wedges and Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce as part of a raw shellfish bar.
- Combine the tomatoes, celery, and onion in a blender and puree to break the vegetables down. Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. Chill before serving with a raw bar.

HOT-SAUCE SHRIMP
So much more than a condiment for your morning eggs, hot sauce can add kick to dips, soups, marinades, sauces and more. Because most include vinegar and salt in addition to chiles, all hot sauce needs to become a silky pan sauce is fat. That's the approach used in this super-quick recipe, which tastes like a cross between Buffalo chicken wings and chile shrimp. After charring some scallions in the skillet, shrimp are cooked until plump and pink, then both are tossed with butter and hot sauce until glossy. Because hot sauces vary greatly in terms of heat, start with one tablespoon, then add more as you wish. If it's too spicy for you, add more butter, or serve it with rice, crusty bread, beer, yogurt or ranch dressing to cut the heat.

Steps:
- Pat the shrimp dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Put the butter and hot sauce in a large bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over high. Add the scallions and cook until softened and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the scallions to the bowl with the butter and hot sauce.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adding more oil if the pan is dry. Flip and cook until opaque all the way through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Transfer the shrimp and any juices to the butter, hot sauce and scallions. Toss vigorously until the butter is melted and the shrimp is glossy. Taste, and add more hot sauce and salt as needed.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter flavor and a firmer texture than frozen shrimp.
- Poach the shrimp gently: Do not boil the shrimp, as this will toughen them. Instead, bring the poaching liquid to a simmer and then add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, or until they are just cooked through.
- Use a flavorful poaching liquid: The poaching liquid is what will flavor the shrimp, so make sure to use a flavorful liquid. A good option is to use a combination of water, white wine, lemon juice, and herbs.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Poached shrimp are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as melted butter, lemon butter, or cocktail sauce.
