Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

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.

Categories Cheese

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

10 ounces dry fettuccine or 10 ounces pappardelle pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon hot sauce, to taste (I prefer Chohula's)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or 3 tablespoons parsley
fresh chives (to garnish) or parsley (to garnish)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup half-and-half
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese (about 1 cup)

Steps:

First, make the Bleu Cheese Sauce: Combine the onion, oil, garlic and sugar in a medium saucepan.
Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the blue cheese until nearly melted.
Now, cook the pasta according to package directions.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the shrimp.
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly pink, about 1 1/2 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, butter, and hot sauce and cook until the shrimp is just opaque in the center, about1 1/2 minutes longer.
Remove from the heat and stir in the paprika; set aside.
Drain the pasta well and put it in a large bowl.
Stir in the warm blue cheese sauce.
Gently mix in the chopped chives or parsley.
Spoon the pasta onto individual plates.
Top with the shrimp and sauce.
Garnish as desired.

Tips:

For a crispier shrimp, make sure the oil is hot before adding the shrimp to the pan. You can check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
To make the fettuccine noodles more flavorful, cook them in salted water. You can also add a bay leaf or two to the water for extra flavor.
If you don't have blue cheese dressing, you can make your own by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, and a splash of lemon juice.
To make the dish even more decadent, you can add a few tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese to the blue cheese sauce.
If you're short on time, you can use frozen shrimp for this recipe. Just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.

Conclusion:

Buffalo shrimp with fettuccine Alfredo sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
