Best 4 Angry Shrimp And Shells Recipes

SHRIMP SCAMPI STUFFED SHELLS

Steps:

• For the pasta and filling: Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a generous amount of salt. Cook the pasta shells until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a large skillet and heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and onions and cook until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir and simmer until the shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute. Set aside on a plate to cool completely.
• Add the cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper to a large bowl. Using a spatula, mix together until well combined. Fold in the shrimp and set aside while you make the sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Using the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sprinkle over the flour. Cook, whisking, until the roux turns golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly, and cook until thickened, a few minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the parsley and set aside.
• To assemble: Add 1 cup of sauce to the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Using a spoon, fill each of the jumbo shells generously with the shrimp/cream cheese mixture. Lay 20 of the stuffed shells face down in the baking dish. Top with an additional 2 cups of sauce. Sprinkle over half of the shredded mozzarella. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly and hot, about 25 minutes.
• For the second casserole: Assemble a second 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the remaining ingredients as above, then cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.

ANGRY SHRIMP WITH CITRUS/SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the flour mixture for shrimp:
• Combine the ingredients and set aside in container. This step can be done the day before dinner.
• Peel and cut the citrus fruit into sections over a plate. Drain the juice from the plate into a bowl. Season liberally with gray salt and black pepper. Whisk in olive oil to form a vinaigrette (it should be in proportion, about 2 parts juice to 1 part olive oil).
• Season citrus sections with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little of the vinaigrette on them to marinate and put them on a platter.
• Have your fishmonger peel the prawns but leave the tails on for handles. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Preheat a saute pan on high. Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture. This will give them a nice crust and allow them to stay crispy and fresh at room temperature. Add olive oil to the pan and put in 1 layer of shrimp. You want them to caramelize, so don't toss or move them. Add a little more oil if the flour absorbs what's in the pan. After about 3 minutes, turn over the prawns. Let it caramelize, toss and turn out onto a cookie sheet. Add about 1/4 cup more olive oil to the already hot saute pan. Drain pan juices from the cookie sheet into the saute pan. Add sliced garlic and let it get light brown. Add chiles and let them get soft. Add the basil and stand back - there's a lot of water in basil and it will pop. Let it get crispy, less than a minute. While this is happening, arrange prawns over the citrus salad. Add the orange zest to the basil/garlic/chile mixture in the saute pan. Season with salt and pepper, then spoon basil/garlic/chile mixture over the prawns.
• Toss the spinach with the citrus vinaigrette and mound on top of the prawns. Serve.
