Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup pistachio nuts
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Grapeseed or vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 cup rice flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup fine polenta
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound calamari, bodies cut into 1/2-inch rings
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Combine the basil, pistachios, olive oil, lemon zest and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until roughly pureed. Remove the contents to a small bowl and stir in the mayonnaise and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Season with the salt.
  • For the seafood: Fill a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven with 3 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the rice flour, cornstarch, polenta, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Working in batches, dredge the shrimp and calamari in the flour mixture and add to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan and drop the temperature. Fry until light golden brown and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spider to remove the seafood to a paper towel-lined tray and season with a pinch of salt. Continue with the remaining shrimp and calamari. Serve hot alongside the pesto dipping sauce and lots of lemon wedges.

SHRIMP FRA DIABLO



Shrimp Fra Diablo image

A thick, spicy sauce of garlic, olive oil, and fire-roasted tomatoes is sauteed with shrimp or your favorite seafood. Legend has it that it was named for Michele Pezza, also known as 'Fra Diablo' (Friar Devil), who helped push Napoleon's forces out of Naples. Serve the sauce over hot pasta, or, my favorite, hot couscous cooked with olive oil and garlic.

SHRIMP AND LINGUINE FRA DIAVOLO

Categories     main-dish

Time 42m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound linguine
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup small diced onion
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 to 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups canned tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails removed
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for pasta water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, optional

Steps:

  • Bring a large 1-gallon pot of salted water to a boil, and place the pasta in the pot. Cook for 5 minutes and then drain; pasta will be only partially cooked. As the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan and cook until lightly caramelized and wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the red pepper flakes and saute briefly before adding the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Cook the sauce until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add the partially cooked pasta to the pan along with 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and continue to cook the pasta in the sauce until al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the pasta with the salt and garnish with the parsley. Toss to combine and serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup butter
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups milk
1/2 cup dry white wine or 1/2 cup sherry wine
2 lbs shrimp, cooked and deveined
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add mushrooms and garlic and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Blend in flour, salt, mustard, and cayenne. Slowly add milk and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick.
  • Add wine, shrimp, and parsley.
  • Pour into a greased 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
  • Bake at 300 degrees for 20-30 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh shrimp: Look for shrimp that are plump and have a vibrant color. Avoid shrimp that are brown or have a slimy texture.
  • Properly devein the shrimp: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can give the shrimp a bitter taste. To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.
  • Season the shrimp well: Shrimp has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good starting point. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to avoid overcooking it. Overcooked shrimp becomes tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp is best served immediately after cooking. This will help to preserve the shrimp's flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Shrimp is a versatile and delicious seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you grill, fry, or bake them, shrimp are sure to be a hit. With careful preparation and cooking, you can easily create a delicious shrimp dish that your family and friends will love.
