Moroccan Shrimp with Tomatoes and Onions image

Provided by Marc Murphy

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Meyer lemon, cut into 8 wedges
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling onto the shrimp
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
10 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
2 teaspoons ras el hanout (Middle Eastern spice mix)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound fresh head-on large shrimp
Leaves from 1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • For the quick preserved lemon: In a small saucepan, combine lemon, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until lemon is soft, approximately 15 minutes. Cool, then chop. Set aside
  • For the shrimp: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, add the oil followed by onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Gently cook, stirring, until vegetables are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ras el hanout and salt and roast in the oven 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and fold in chopped preserved lemon.
  • Arrange shrimp over the tomato mixture in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven until the shrimp are cooked through and are bright coral pink, about 2 minutes. Remove, top with chopped cilantro and serve.

TOMATO AND CHEDDAR TARTLETS



Tomato and Cheddar Tartlets image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 14-ounce box refrigerated rolled pie crusts (2 pie rounds)
24 cherry tomatoes, halved crosswise
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 heaping cup grated extra-sharp aged white Cheddar
Small fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Unroll 1 pie dough into a round. Arrange three 4 1/4-inch nonstick tartlet pans on the dough and use a paring knife to cut a circle of dough around each that is about 1/2 inch larger than the pan; these don't have to be perfect, but you want to make sure you cut enough excess dough to fill the pan and up the sides. Press the dough evenly into each pan; if any excess dough goes over the top, simply use the top edge of the tartlet pan to cut it away. Use a fork to dock the bottom of the pie crusts. Repeat this process with 3 more tartlet pans and the remaining pie dough. Place the 6 tartlet pans on a baking sheet and put in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper. Let the tomatoes sit for 10 to 15 minutes for the flavors to combine.
  • Bake the crusts until the dough is cooked part of the way through without any color and bubbles form on the bottom and sides, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • To each tartlet, add about 3 tablespoons of grated Cheddar and spread evenly over the bottom. Top the cheese in each with 8 tomato halves cut-side up, making sure to get some garlic with each tomato. Bake until the crusts are golden brown, the cheese is bubbling and the tomatoes are softened but have not burst, about 30 minutes. Let cool until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the tartlets from the tart pans and garnish with small basil leaves.
  • These tartlets can be stored in the refrigerator after they have cooled completely and reheated in the oven the next day for great leftovers!

FABIENNE'S CURRIED SHRIMP TARTLETS



Fabienne's Curried Shrimp Tartlets image

This little tartlet stemmed from my frustration trying to make "phyllo purses." Perfect appetizer before a fancy dinner or brunch with your friends. It's bursting with shrimp, curry, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and topped with an egg...all hidden under the last sheets of phyllo dough. Well worth your time!

cooking spray
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon hot Madras curry powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 ½ cups chopped raw shrimp
2 tablespoons heavy cream
6 ounces phyllo pastry

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.

MARINATED SHRIMP, ONION AND TOMATO TART



Marinated Shrimp, Onion and Tomato Tart image

Provided by Marc Murphy

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 large shrimp
10 garlic cloves crushed
1 pinch saffron
1 cups olive oil
6 onions
1 (8-ounce) can peeled tomatoes
2 anchovies
1/4 cup Calamata olives
4 sprigs thyme
1 sheet puff pastry
2 heads frisee
6 bunches mache

Steps:

  • A day in advance of preparing this dish, marinate shrimp in a mixture of 4 cloves crushed garlic, black pepper, 1/2 cup olive oil and 1 pinch of saffron. Refrigerate overnight. To prepare the marmalade, peel onions and cut them in half and slice thin. In a saucepan over low heat with 2 tablespoons of oil, cook the onions until transparent. Drain the tomatoes, remove the seeds, chop roughly and add to the onions. Add chopped anchovies, chopped olives and thyme, cook for 3 hours on very low heat, stirring often. Meanwhile cut out 6 rounds of puff pastry about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on a baking sheet cover with a second sheet, and bake in the oven for 6 minutes at 350 degrees. Prepare the frisee by cutting off the green of the lettuce, use only the white part only. Chop frisee and wash well, reserve. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat 1/4 cup olive until hot, and cook shrimp until pink and curled. Set the tomato marmalade on top of each tart round and warm in the oven for 5 minutes. Season the frisee with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Take the tart out of the oven and set on a plate, dress some frisee on top of the tart and cover with shrimp. Garnish with the mache lettuce leaves. Drizzle olive oil around the tart and serve.

SKILLET SHRIMP AND TOMATOES



Skillet Shrimp and Tomatoes image

Quick recipe I found in the paper which was adapted from Everyday Food magazine. Sounds yummy. Test kitchen tip: Always heat cooking oil in the pan before adding other ingrdients, and swirl pan to coat bottom evenly. The oil is hot enough it sizzles when water is sprinkled in or when food is added (to prevent splattering, tip pan away from you to allow oil to pool, and add food to side of pan close to you). Serve over pasta, rice or spinach.

SHRIMP AND TOMATO PASTA



Shrimp and Tomato Pasta image

Frozen shrimp is a freezer staple that can be counted on to save dinner any night - simply thaw to use them whenever needed. Here, shrimp and spaghetti are tossed with juicy cherry tomatoes, which are gently simmered until they burst and turn saucy. This dish is best with ripe, in-season cherry tomatoes, but the aromatic fennel seeds and garlic infused in the oil will coax maximum flavor out of less enthusiastic tomatoes while adding depth to the sauce.

Provided by Naz Deravian

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound peeled and deveined frozen shrimp (16/20-count), thawed and cut into thirds
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
3 large garlic cloves, gently smashed with the flat side of a knife
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or to taste
2 pounds cherry tomatoes, larger ones halved, small ones kept whole
1 pound spaghetti
Handful of basil leaves, torn
Black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the shrimp, season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a dish and set aside. Discard any excess liquid in the pan.
  • Add the remaining 6 tablespoons oil and the garlic cloves to the same pan and cook over medium-low, turning the garlic a couple of times until light gold and fragrant, taking care not to burn them, about 4 minutes. Add the fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, stir and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium and add the cherry tomatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  • Cook the tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and get saucy, 25 to 30 minutes. While the tomatoes cook, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil for the pasta. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the shrimp with any juices to the tomatoes to reheat for a couple of minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning.
  • Set the pasta pot next to the saucepan and use tongs to transfer the spaghetti to the tomatoes and shrimp. The starchy water clinging to the spaghetti will make for a tasty and silky sauce. (You can drain the spaghetti, if you prefer. If you do, reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water to add as needed for a silky sauce.) Remove the pan from the heat, add the basil and toss well. Season with black pepper to taste and serve.

SHRIMP AND TOMATO TARTLETS



Shrimp and Tomato Tartlets image

This is not difficult to make if you are organized. I first prepared these while staying at the magnificent Chateau de Pray near the Loire Valley city of Amboise. This region is famous for crisp tart wines like Sancerre and the sweeter Vouvray, as well as cheese and freshwater fish and shellfish. The pastry dough can be made in a few minutes with a food processor; it can be done in advance and chilled. The tomato-based filling can also be made in advance. At the last minute, the tart shells are filled and baked. The shrimp are quickly sauteed and flavored with curry and then distributed over the finished tartlets. These tartlets look terrific and can be garnished in any number of ways -- maybe with red radicchio and green bibb lettuce.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus flour for working the dough
6 tablespoons butter, chilled and cubed
1/2 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
Tomato compote (see recipe)
1 tablespoon olive oil
16 jumbo shrimp (shelled), or scallops, crab meat, lobster or other shellfish
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups lamb's lettuce or bibb lettuce
Vinaigrette (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Place the flour, butter, cheese and salt in the container of a food processor, and blend until a ball forms.
  • Remove the dough, and chill for half an hour.
  • When the dough is ready, heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Transfer the dough ball to a floured surface, and flatten it slightly with the palm of your hand before beginning to roll. Sprinkle the dough with flour, and roll it evenly, making quarter turns after every few rolls. The dough should be about 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3- to 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut out 4 circles to fit individual tartlet molds of roughly the same measurement. Lift the dough circles carefully with a spatula, and place them in the individual molds, pressing the dough into the molds firmly.
  • Fill each tart shell with about 3 tablespoons of tomato compote. Bake about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the olive oil and the shrimp into a nonstick pan over high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with curry powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes; do not overcook. Remove to a plate.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the lettuce and vinaigrette.
  • Unmold the tartlets, and place in the middle of serving plates. Top each tartlet with 4 shrimp. Arrange some lettuce decoratively around tartlets.

Tips:

  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp or frozen shrimp that has been thawed and peeled.
  • If you don't have cherry tomatoes, you can use Roma tomatoes or grape tomatoes. Just cut them into small pieces.
  • You can use any type of cheese that you like in this recipe. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a regular pie pan. Just trim the edges of the puff pastry so that it fits the pan.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the tartlets. This will help to ensure that the crust is crispy and the filling is cooked through.

Conclusion:

These shrimp and tomato tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a fancy party. The combination of shrimp, tomatoes, cheese, and herbs makes for a flavorful and satisfying dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these shrimp and tomato tartlets a try. You won't be disappointed!
