BUFFALO SHRIMP WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

An appetizer recipe from "Ten: All the Foods We Love and Ten Recipes for Each" by Sheila Lukins

Provided by gailanng

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon Tabasco sauce, to taste
1 lb large shrimp, cleaned and deveined but tails left on, rinsed and patted dry (about 24 shrimp)
coarse kosher salt, to taste
4 large celery ribs, trimmed and cut into sticks, for serving
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks, for serving
6 scallions, trimmed for serving
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 -2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, to taste
1 dash Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
fresh coarse ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 cup danish blue cheese (or other mild blue cheese, crumbled)

Steps:

  • Combine the butter and the Tabasco sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook until the butter has melted. Stir, and let cool slightly. Then divide the butter mixture between two large mixing bowls.
  • Place the shrimp in one bowl and coat them well with the butter mixture. Cover the bowl loosely and let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the blue cheese dipping sauce. Combine all sauce ingredients, except the cheese, in a bowl. Gently fold in the blue cheese, being careful not to break it up too much (or it will turn the sauce an unappetizing gray). Adjust the seasonings to taste. Refrigerate, covered, for as long as overnight.
  • To cook the shrimp, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, lift the shrimp from the marinade and cook them, in batches, in the skillet until they are pink and opaque, 2 minutes per side. As they are cooked, transfer the shrimp to the second bowl and toss them well in that batch of butter-Tabasco mixture.
  • Again using tongs, transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving bowl. Sprinkle them with coarse salt. Serve immediately, along with the celery, carrots, and scallions, and a bowl of Blue Cheese Sauce for dipping.

BUFFALO GRILLED SHRIMP WITH GOAT CHEESE DIPPING SAUCE



Buffalo Grilled Shrimp with Goat Cheese Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup heavy cream, room temperature
1/3 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's, plus 2 tablespoons for serving
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, from 1 large lemon
4 cloves garlic, smashed and coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and shallots and saute for about two minutes. Add the cumin and smoked paprika and continue to cook, stirring, for one minute more. Add the cream and salt, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Whisk in the goat cheese, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes before stirring in the chives and parsley.
  • For the shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the 1/4 cup hot sauce and the olive oil, lemon zest and garlic. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque at the center. Remove to a clean bowl and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce. Serve with the goat cheese dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure your shrimp are perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will result in tough, rubbery shrimp.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a spicier buffalo sauce, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or hot sauce. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
  • For a thicker buffalo sauce, simmer it over low heat for a few minutes until it reduces and thickens. You can also add a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
  • Serve the buffalo shrimp immediately with blue cheese sauce, celery sticks, and carrot sticks for dipping.

Conclusion:

This buffalo shrimp recipe is a perfect appetizer or main course for any occasion. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the blue cheese sauce is the perfect complement. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a delicious meal, this recipe is sure to please everyone.
