Shrimp in Sherry Butter Sauce image

Categories     Shellfish     Shrimp     Curry     Sherry     Simmer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 pounds medium shrimp in shell (31 to 35 per pound), rinsed, peeled, and shells reserved
8 cups water
1 onion, halved, plus 1/2 cup minced onion
1 carrot, halved
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
2 fresh parsley sprigs
1 fresh thyme sprig
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces and softened
1/2 cup medium-dry Sherry
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook shrimp shells, stirring, 1 minute. Add water, onion halves, carrot, bay leaf, parsley, thyme, peppercorns, and salt and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes.
  • Pour stock through a large sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into a large bowl, discarding solids. Return stock to cleaned pot. Add shrimp and cook over high heat (stock will be hot but not boiling), stirring frequently, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a large shallow baking pan, spreading in 1 layer to cool quickly. Boil stock until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 30 to 40 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.
  • Stir together flour and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter until a paste forms, then set aside. Cook minced onion in 1 tablespoon butter in cleaned pot over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add Sherry and boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp stock and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and whisk in remaining 5 1/2 tablespoons butter until just incorporated. Whisk in flour paste, bit by bit, and simmer sauce, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, shrimp, and salt and pepper to taste and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until shrimp are just heated through, about 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, plump shrimp, and flavorful sherry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will make them tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they're just cooked through: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they're opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Reduce the sauce: Once you've added the shrimp to the sauce, let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce and thicken. This will help the flavors to meld together and create a more flavorful sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This shrimp with sherry tomato sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The combination of shrimp, tomatoes, and sherry creates a delicious and satisfying dish that's sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
