BROILED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC BUTTER

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.

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb medium shrimp, cleaned
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons parsley
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper
3 teaspoons fresh breadcrumbs

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and large prawns: Look for prawns that are firm, have a shiny shell, and no off-smell. Larger prawns are easier to handle and cook evenly.
  • Prepare the prawns properly: Devein and remove the shells from the prawns, leaving the tails intact for presentation. Make a shallow cut along the back of the prawns to remove the vein.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds a rich flavor to the prawns. You can also use melted butter or a mixture of olive oil and butter.
  • Season the prawns generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to season the prawns. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Broil the prawns at high temperature: Preheat your broiler to the highest setting. Broiling at high temperature will help to quickly cook the prawns and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Watch the prawns closely while broiling: Broiling times can vary depending on the size of the prawns and the temperature of your broiler. Keep an eye on the prawns and remove them from the broiler as soon as they are cooked through, usually within 2-3 minutes per side.
