COPYCAT KILLER SHRIMP



Copycat Killer Shrimp image

This is a copycat recipe, after the Killer Shrimp restaurant in Southern California. This is the most authentic recipe I have found -with some minor adjustments, and is wonderfull. Be sure to serve with alot of crusty bread for dipping, the broth and bread is the best part of the meal to me. I usually do half and half clam broth and chicken broth, as a personal preference. We do peel and eat shrimp, but I have made with peeled shrimp as well. Posting here as I don't see another like it combined with safe keeping, can't lose this!

KILLER SHRIMP SOUP



Killer Shrimp Soup image

There's an awesome little restaurant in Marina Del Rey, California called 'Killer Shrimp' that serves up one thing -- Shrimp soup. This is an easy to prepare spicy herb soup with lots of broth, flavor, and a little kick. It doesn't need any fancy presentation. Simply ladle it into big bowls and serve. Don't bother using spoons, just serve it with some crusty bread and use the bread to soak up the broth.

KILLER SHRIMP



Killer Shrimp image

Categories     Bread     Sauce     Shrimp     Simmer

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cajun Butter
5 tablespoons dried oregano
5 tablespoons dried basil
5 tablespoons dried thyme
5 tablespoons cayenne pepper
5 tablespoons salt
5 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
10 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 pound unsalted butter, cut into cubes, at room temperature
Shrimp
6 jumbo (13 to 15 count) shrimp, deveined, shell on, with tails
8 tablespoons Cajun Butter
2 cups dark ale
2 cups clam juice
1 baguette, sliced

Steps:

  • To make the butter, place the herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and whisk by hand until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Transfer the mixture to a food processor and add one-quarter of the butter cubes. Process on high speed, slowly adding the remaining butter cubes one at a time until you can no longer see white pieces of butter.
  • To make the shrimp, use a paring knife to make a slit up the back of each shell to faciliate easy peeling and to let the flavor in. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place 8 tablespoons of the Cajun Butter in the hot skillet and allow to melt, being careful not to burn it. Toss in the shrimp and cook for 1 or 2 minutes. When they start to turn pink, turn them over and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes, being careful not to overcook. When almost fully cooked through, cover the shrimp with the ale and clam juice and reduce the heat to medium-low. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Divide into bowls and serve with the baguette.
  • note
  • The extra Cajun butter can be reserved in a sealed container for future use. The butter goes well with grilled fish or steak.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp is essential for this dish. Avoid frozen shrimp, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: The shrimp should be cooked until they are just opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the shrimp from sticking.
  • Add the shrimp at the end: The shrimp should be added to the pan last, so that they do not overcook.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the shrimp are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Killer shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. By following these tips, you can make the best killer shrimp possible. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give killer shrimp a try. You won't be disappointed!
