Best 5 Amaretto Shrimp Almandine Recipes

ALMOND-CRUSTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Generously spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In shallow dish, mix flour and salt. In another shallow dish, beat egg and water with fork or wire whisk until well mixed. In third shallow dish, mix bread crumbs and almonds.
• Coat shrimp with flour mixture. Dip shrimp into egg, coating well; finally, cover with bread crumb mixture, spooning mixture over shrimp and pressing to coat. Place coated shrimp in pan. Drizzle with butter.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until shrimp are pink and firm.

AMARETTO ALMOND CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter and brown the almonds until golden brown; be very careful as they will burn quickly.
• As soon as the almonds are nicely browned, add the Amaretto; be extremely careful as it should and will flame up for about 10 seconds or so.
• After about 30 to 40 seconds you will have very little liquid in the pan (it will be dark brown).
• Add the cream, tomato paste, and the crushed bouillon cube and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to a rolling simmer and reduce by half (about 12 minutes) stirring often.
• The finished sauce should have a beige, ever so slight pink color and coat the back of a spoon.
• NOTE: If the Amaretto doesn't flare up in the pan, don't worry! Your sauce will be fine.
