CHEESY SHRIMP SCAMPI BEIGNETS WITH CORN MAQUE CHOUX AND BASIL REMOULADE



Cheesy Shrimp Scampi Beignets with Corn Maque Choux and Basil Remoulade image

This Southern-inspired dish uses buttery shrimp scampi in the cleverest of ways. The convenience of using frozen shrimp shortens prep time while the garlic-butter sauce adds major flavor to crisp, golden beignets. They are nestled in creamy, sweet corn and topped with a zesty remoulade spiked with plenty of lemon and fresh basil.

Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings (about 28 beignets)

Number Of Ingredients 17

One 12-ounce box frozen shrimp scampi, such as SeaPak™ Shrimp Scampi
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 6 ounces)
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium red, orange, yellow or green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 cups corn kernels (from about 3 ears of corn)
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Vegetable oil, for frying and greasing the tablespoon

Steps:

  • Prepare the shrimp according to the package directions for the microwave. Drain the melted butter sauce from the shrimp and reserve (you should have about 3/4 cup). When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, roughly chop them and set aside.
  • Combine the butter, 1 1/4 cups water, 1/4 cup of the reserved scampi butter and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Immediately add the flour, mixing vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Using a wooden spoon, beat in the eggs one at a time until a silky dough forms. Stir in the Monterey Jack and reserved chopped shrimp; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 cup reserved scampi butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the corn and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and cook until the corn is heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and cook until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, basil, mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest and remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in a small bowl and mix well; set aside.
  • Set a wire cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Fit a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a deep-fry thermometer, fill with 2 inches vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a tablespoon with vegetable oil. Working in two batches, gently drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until puffed, golden and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the beignets with a slotted spoon to the wire rack.
  • Spoon the corn mixture on a large platter and top with the beignets. Serve with the basil remoulade.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound extra-large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 ears corn, shucked
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound orecchiette pasta
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 serrano pepper, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons Basil Pesto, recipe follows
Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
2 cloves garlic
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup shelled and toasted pistachios
1 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the shrimp and corn with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the corn and shrimp on the grill. Grill the shrimp until cooked through and evenly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill the corn until charred, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and cool. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise, head to tail. Cut the corn kernels off the cobb.
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add a pasta insert. Pour in the pasta, stir, and boil until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pasta insert with the pasta; keep the water boiling.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 3 tablespoons oil, garlic and serrano pepper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the grilled corn and shrimp. Dip the pasta insert back in the water briefly, then lift the insert out, shake off excess water and add the pasta to the skillet. Turn off the heat and add the butter, Basil Pesto and some Parmesan. Toss to coat. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with more Parmesan sprinkled over the top. Garnish with basil leaves.
  • Pulse the garlic, lemon zest, pistachios, 1/4 cup oil, salt and pepper in a food processor until coarse. Add the basil and another 1/4 cup oil and pulse a few times to combine. Blend the mixture while streaming in the remaining oil. Once combined, add the Parmesan and puree until. Reserve for pasta.

1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

SHRIMP WITH BASIL, GARLIC, AND TOMATOES



Shrimp with Basil, Garlic, and Tomatoes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup quartered cherry or grape tomatoes (about 12)
5 large fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus extra for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds medium-large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
  • Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
  • Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Shrimp Pasta With Corn and Basil image

This particularly American combination of flavors - shrimp and corn - is light, summery and very tasty, both sweet and slightly spicy. If you are feeling flush, you can make this pasta with lobster instead.

SUMMER SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH TOMATOES AND CORN



Summer Shrimp Scampi With Tomatoes and Corn image

Shrimp get along well with garlic, butter and lemon, and so do tomatoes and corn. Combine them, and you get a summery shrimp scampi that comes together in one skillet. A searing hot pan helps the tomatoes blister and the corn caramelize before they are coated in a garlic-lemon butter sauce. This is a meal in and of itself, but if you want to serve it with pasta or bread, they'd be welcome additions.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weekday, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (from 4 ears)
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon), plus wedges for serving (optional)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces
3 tablespoons chopped parsley or chives, or torn basil leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp very dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and lightly golden in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a plate.
  • Add the tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring just once or twice, until they start to blister in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring just once or twice, until the tomatoes burst and the corn is golden in spots, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until you smell garlic, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add the wine and lemon juice, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until nearly evaporated, then add the butter and stir until melted. Add the shrimp and its juices and stir until warmed through. (If the sauce breaks and looks greasy, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water and stir until emulsified.)
  • Remove from heat, add the herbs, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with extra lemon for squeezing over, if you like.

SHRIMP & CORN STIR-FRY



Shrimp & Corn Stir-Fry image

I make this seafood stir-fry at summer's end when my garden is producing plenty of tomatoes, squash, garlic and corn. For a quick supper, we serve it over rice. -Lindsay Honn, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small yellow summer squash, sliced
1 small onion, chopped

1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn, thawed
1 cup chopped tomatoes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Hot cooked brown rice, optional

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the shrimp and corn, the better the dish will taste. Look for plump, firm shrimp and sweet, juicy corn.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent the shrimp and corn from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can season it by heating it over medium heat and adding a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around the pan until it coats the bottom, then remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
  • Cook the shrimp and corn in batches: If you try to cook too much shrimp and corn at once, it will steam instead of sear. Cook the shrimp and corn in batches, in a single layer, so that they have room to brown.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Add the corn and basil at the end: The corn and basil should be added to the skillet at the end of the cooking process, so that they don't overcook.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and corn with basil is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The shrimp is cooked to perfection, the corn is sweet and juicy, and the basil adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
