Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 servings (8 servings per pan)

Number Of Ingredients 24

Kosher salt
40 jumbo pasta shells
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp (21/25 count), chopped
Splash of white wine
1 lemon, juiced
Freshly ground black pepper
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups whole-milk ricotta
1 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
3 cups grated fresh mozzarella
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
4 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the pasta and filling: Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a generous amount of salt. Cook the pasta shells until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a large skillet and heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and onions and cook until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir and simmer until the shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute. Set aside on a plate to cool completely.
  • Add the cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper to a large bowl. Using a spatula, mix together until well combined. Fold in the shrimp and set aside while you make the sauce.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the sauce: Using the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sprinkle over the flour. Cook, whisking, until the roux turns golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly, and cook until thickened, a few minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the parsley and set aside.
  • To assemble: Add 1 cup of sauce to the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Using a spoon, fill each of the jumbo shells generously with the shrimp/cream cheese mixture. Lay 20 of the stuffed shells face down in the baking dish. Top with an additional 2 cups of sauce. Sprinkle over half of the shredded mozzarella. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly and hot, about 25 minutes.
  • For the second casserole: Assemble a second 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the remaining ingredients as above, then cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.

TILAPIA SCAMPI



Tilapia Scampi image

My husband and I love shrimp scampi. Since tilapia is usually cheaper than shrimp at the store, I concocted this easy recipe to enjoy the flavor of scampi at the price of tilapia!

¾ cup butter
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
8 cloves garlic, halved
4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine the butter, lemon juice, and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 10-second increments until the butter is completely melted and the garlic has softened, stirring between each session, about 1 minute total.
  • Arrange the tilapia in the bottom of the prepared baking dish; pour the butter mixture over the fillets assuring they are all evenly covered. Sprinkle the parsley over the tilapia.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning the fillets every 10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 40 minutes total.

SHRIMP SCAMPI



Shrimp Scampi image

Provided by Food Network

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 shallots, peeled and chopped (about 1/2 cup)
7 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds extra-large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon dry breadcrumbs, if needed

Steps:

  • Combine the shallots, 5 cloves garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a mini food processor. Process to make a smooth paste.
  • Pour 6 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining garlic into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Let the garlic sizzle for a minute, then add half of the shrimp and all of the thyme. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the shrimp are seared but not fully cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining shrimp and another 1/2 teaspoon salt. Remove the shrimp and thyme from the skillet to the plate.
  • Add the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic-shallot paste to the same skillet set over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the paste has dried out and begins to stick to the bottom of the skillet, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the thyme to the skillet and pour in the white wine, lemon juice, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 4 tablespoons butter and 1 cup water. Bring the sauce to a rapid boil and cook until reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • When the sauce has reduced, whisk in the remaining butter and return the shrimp to the pan. Cook and toss until the shrimp are coated with the sauce and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. If the sauce still seems too thin, stir in the breadcrumbs and bring to a boil just to thicken. Serve immediately.

SHRIMP SCAMPI



Shrimp Scampi image

This quick scampi is perfect over pasta or by itself with fresh-squeezed lemon. It serves 2 as a main course and 4 as an appetizer; and it's easy to double for a crowd.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup dry white vermouth
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Put the shrimp on a large disposable pie pan or paper plate and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the butter to the skillet. When the foaming subsides, raise the heat to high and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Turn the shrimp over and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
  • Return the skillet to the heat and pour in the vermouth and lemon juice. Boil the liquid until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir the lemon zest and parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the shrimp, season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
  • Divide the shrimp among plates or arrange on a platter and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use large shrimp for the scampi stuffing: Large shrimp will give the stuffing a more substantial texture and flavor. Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking.
  • Make sure the pico de gallo is fresh and flavorful: Use ripe tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños. Dice the ingredients finely and season the salsa with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia: Tilapia is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook the fillets until they are just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the scampi-stuffed tilapia immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the oven. Garnish with additional pico de gallo and a squeeze of lime juice.

Conclusion:

Scampi-stuffed tilapia with pico de gallo is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The tilapia is flaky and moist, the scampi stuffing is flavorful and rich, and the pico de gallo adds a bright and refreshing touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
