Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large lemons
2 pounds (8- to 10-count) shrimp, peeled with the tails on
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
4 slices country bread, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

SAUTéED SHRIMP WITH BACON AND MUSHROOMS



Sautéed Shrimp with Bacon and Mushrooms image

Categories     Sauce     Mushroom     Side     Bacon     Shrimp

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 slices bacon (about 5 ounces), diced
10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/4 cup sliced scallions (white and light green parts)
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Brown the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until crisp. Increase the heat to high. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, and scallions and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the mushroom liquid has mostly evaporated. Move the bacon and vegetables to one side of the skillet.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, or until just opaque. Stir all the ingredients to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: Use fresh or frozen shrimp that are deveined and peeled. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The bacon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a thick-cut, smoked bacon that is not too salty.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp and bacon, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Add the herbs at the end: The herbs will add a lot of flavor to the dish, but they should be added at the end of the cooking process so that they don't burn.

Conclusion:

Shrimp sautéed with bacon and herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the bacon and herbs add a lot of flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
