Ingredients

1 1/4 lb large shrimp (or prawns, peeled and deveined (if frozen, be sure to thaw first))
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 to 2 tsp smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp sugar
1 tbsp butter (I prefer to use ghee clarified butter)
3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 red onion, (thinly sliced)
4 garlic cloves, (chopped)
1/2 green bell pepper and 1/2 yellow bell pepper, (cored and sliced)
1 cup canned diced tomato
1/3 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 tbsp dry white wine
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

Pat the shrimp dry and place it in a large bowl. Add the flour, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, coriander, cayenne, and sugar. Toss until the shrimp is well-coated.
In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until fragrant (be sure not to burn the garlic.) Add the bell peppers and cook another 4 minutes or so, tossing occasionally.
Now add the shrimp. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes, broth, white wine and lemon juice. Cook for a couple more minutes or until the shrimp turns bright orange.
Finally, stir in the chopped fresh parsley and serve!

Ingredients

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves , finely crushed
12-16 mint leaves, chopped
450g raw, peeled prawns

Place all the skewers on a lightly oiled baking sheet, then place under the grill. Depending on the size of the prawns, cook on each side for around 2 mins, until the breadcrumbs are golden and the prawns have turned pink. Watch them closely as they cook very quickly.

Categories < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

shell-on shrimp (thoroughly defrosted if using frozen)
2 -3 medium cloves garlic
12 -16 mint leaves
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1 ounce block parmigiano-reggiano cheese
3/4 cup fine plain dried breadcrumbs
2 lemons

Steps:

You will need 16 to 20 small or medium wooden skewers. Soak them in water for 20 minutes before using.
Meanwhile, peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on if you prefer to eat the shrimp by hand. Pat them dry with paper towels and place them in a quart-size resealable plastic food storage bag.
Mince the garlic and add it to the bag. Finely chop the mint leaves, reserving a third of the chopped leaves for garnish; add the rest of the mint to the bag. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle in the oil as needed. Seal the bag and massage the contents to coat the shrimp evenly. Refrigerate for 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor).
Position an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the broiler element; preheat the broiler. Have a rimmed baking sheet at hand.
Grate the cheese (to yield 1/4 cup) into a wide, shallow bowl, then add the breadcrumbs. Shake off any excess marinade from the shrimp, then press them into the cheese-breadcrumb mixture to coat them on both sides.
Thread 4 or 5 shrimp onto each skewer, laying the soaked skewers flat on the baking sheet as you work. Broil for 2 minutes on each side, so the coating is golden and the shrimp turn pink. Be careful not to overcook.
Arrange the skewers on individual plates; top with any stray breadcrumbs from the baking sheet. Cut lemon wedges and squeeze a few over each skewer and sprinkle with the remaining chopped mint. Serve hot, with the remaining wedges passed at the table.

Tips:

For the freshest shrimp, purchase them from a reputable seafood market or fishmonger. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a translucent appearance.
If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking. The best way to do this is to place them in a colander in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours.
To devein shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the vein and discard it.
Before cooking, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. This will help them to brown evenly.
Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp are very delicate and can become tough if overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a main dish.

Conclusion:

Amalfi-style shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or as an appetizer. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with olive oil, garlic, lemon, and white wine. They are then served over pasta or rice. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
