BUTTERFLIED BAKED SHRIMP



Butterflied Baked Shrimp image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups fresh bread crumbs
16 extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
4 ounces butter, melted
4 cups arugula, cleaned
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spread the bread crumbs evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Watch them carefully as they burn very quickly. Remove from the oven and cool. Raise the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Butterfly the shrimp by slicing from the tail to the front on the top of the shrimp, where the vein was. Slice as deep as possible without cutting all the way through. Turn the shrimp over and make 3 small shallow slits horizontally across the shrimp, being careful not to cut all the way through. These slits will prevent the shrimp from curling during cooking. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Mix together the oregano, thyme, parsley, basil and garlic. Add the garlic herb mixture to the bread crumbs and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush a large ovenproof skillet with some of the melted butter, coating the bottom well. Dip the shrimp in the butter, opened side down, and then dredge in the bread crumbs, pressing so they stick. Place the shrimp, bread crumb side up, in the skillet in 1 layer.
  • When all of the shrimp are in the pan, drizzle the top with a little more of the melted butter. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are just cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
  • Toss the arugula with the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Place 4 shrimp around each pile of arugula. Drizzle with more butter, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.

BROILED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC BUTTER



Broiled Shrimp with Garlic Butter image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 lemon, juiced
Fine sea salt, to taste
24 uncooked large shrimp, shell and tail on
1/2 cup Fish Fumet, recipe follows, or water
2 pounds heads and bones from black bass, red snapper or halibut
Cold water
2 tablespoons corn oil
1 medium onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
1/4 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced
1 leek, very thinly sliced
15 white peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 sprig fresh Italian parsley
1 bay leaf
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Place the butter in a small bowl and stir in the garlic, shallots, parsley, lemon juice and salt. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise, leaving them attached at the tail. Spread the shrimp open and arrange them in a shallow, oval flameproof casserole. Top the shrimp with generous dabs of the butter mixture and pour fumet or water into the dish. Broil the shrimp until they are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Arrange the shrimp in a line across 4 plates, so that the tail of each shrimp fits inside the shrimp in front of it. Whisk the liquid in the casserole dish and pour it over the shrimp. Serve immediately.
  • Remove the gills and eyes from the fish or have your fish store do it. Cut the heads and bones across into 4-inch pieces. Put them in a shallow pan and cover with cold water. Let stand for 1 hour, changing the water twice. Drain. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel, leek, peppercorns, salt, parsley and bay leaf. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the fish bones and cook, stirring from time to time, until the bones and any flesh around the bones turn from translucent to white, about 12 minutes. Add the wine and water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, skimming off the foam as it rises to the top. Remove from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Strain the fumet through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much of the flavorful liquid as possible. If you have more than 3 cups of fumet, place the liquid in a clean saucepan and boil until reduced to 3 cups. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Thaw shrimp properly: If using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes. Do not thaw shrimp at room temperature, as this can promote bacterial growth.
  • Choose the right shrimp size: Medium or large shrimp work best for this recipe. Smaller shrimp may overcook quickly and become tough.
  • Use a sharp knife to butterfly the shrimp: This will help ensure that the shrimp cook evenly. Cut a slit down the back of each shrimp, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Season the shrimp before cooking: This will help enhance their flavor. You can use a simple seasoning blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, or get creative and try different combinations of herbs and spices.
  • Broil the shrimp just until cooked through: Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery. Broil the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Broiled shrimp are best served hot off the grill. You can garnish them with chopped parsley, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of melted butter.

Conclusion:

Broiled butterflied shrimp is a quick and easy seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The shrimp are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection in just a few minutes. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
