SPICY SHRIMP & PENNE PASTA



Spicy Shrimp & Penne Pasta image

I created this creamy pasta dish when I needed to use up some marinara. Red pepper flakes give it a little heat, which my family loves. It's super versatile, so try it with chicken, or simply stir in some fresh basil, too. -Lorri Stout, Gaithersburg, Maryland

SPICY TOMATO-COCONUT BISQUE WITH SHRIMP AND MUSHROOMS



Spicy Tomato-Coconut Bisque With Shrimp and Mushrooms image

A full-bodied, mildly spiced tomato soup with sweetness and depth from roasted red peppers, this is a tasty base for lightly poached shrimp or pieces of any firm white fish. The gingery, herbed mushroom gets with a citrusy lift from makrut lime leaves, ensuring this dish is packed with flavor. As a substitute, lime zest will work in a pinch. Serve over steamed rice or dig in with torn pieces from a crusty loaf of bread.

Provided by Yewande Komolafe

Categories     dinner, lunch, seafood, soups and stews, vegetables, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
8 ounces mixed fresh mushrooms, such as oyster, maitake or shiitake, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 4 loose cups)
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
2 fresh makrut lime leaves (or 1 tablespoon lime zest)
Kosher salt
1/4 cup sliced scallions
2 shallots, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (13-ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 red habanero chile, seeds removed
1 pound large (tail-on) shrimp, peeled and deveined (or 1 pound any firm white fish, such as halibut, cut into 2-inch pieces)
Steamed white or brown rice, for serving
1 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, basil and dill

Steps:

  • Add the whole peeled tomatoes and their juices and the roasted red peppers to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the mushrooms and cook without stirring until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and lime leaves. (If using zest, don't add it yet.) Cook until garlic is softened and lime leaves fragrant, about 2 minutes. Move the mushroom mixture to a bowl. Season with salt and stir in a drizzle of oil. Add lime zest, if using, and scallions. Toss and set aside.
  • Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the pot and heat over medium. Sauté the shallots until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, cook until it darkens and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, about 2 minutes. Stir in the puréed tomato mixture, coconut milk, chile and 1 cup water. Scrape the bottom of the pot with your spatula to remove any paste stuck to the bottom. Simmer, uncovered, to allow flavors to meld and sauce to reduce slightly, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Add the shrimp (or pieces of fish) and cook until just opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Remove and discard the chile.
  • Divide soup and shrimp (or fish) among bowls filled with steamed rice. Discard lime leaves, then combine the fresh herbs with the mushrooms and top stew with spoonfuls of the herby mix. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
Coarse salt, about 1 teaspoon
2 tablespoons (a couple of generous drizzles) extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (4 turns around the pan in a light stream) extra-virgin olive oil
1 (2-ounce) tin anchovy fillets
6 to 8 large cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
Coarse salt
1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente
Tomato and Onion Salad, as an accompaniment
Crusty bread, as an accompaniment
5 medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, gently seeded, and thinly sliced
1 small white skinned onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
A generous drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons
Coarse salt and black pepper
Crusty Bread, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Combine shrimp with next 6 ingredients and toss to coat shrimp evenly.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add half of the shrimp. Cook shrimp 3 minutes until pink and just firm. Remove shrimp to a warm platter and repeat process with remaining shrimp.
  • Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium low. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add anchovies, garlic, and pepper flakes to oil. Break up anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture.
  • Toss spaghetti in the pan with parsley and the garlic oil, then season with a little coarse salt, to your taste. Top servings of garlic and oil spaghetti with spicy shrimp and serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Crusty Bread.
  • Prep your garlic and parsley for aglio olio and set them, as well as drained pasta and remaining ingredients all within arm's reach of your stove top.
  • The aroma will be intense! Cooked anchovies have a salted-nutty (rather than fishy) taste that compliments the garlic as it sweetens and softens.
  • Toss the tomatoes and onions with the chopped parsley, oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand while you prepare dinner, about 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve salad with crusty bread for mopping up juices and oil.

SPICY SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE OVER GRITS



Spicy Shrimp and Andouille Sausage over Grits image

This is a great meal that screams New Orleans! The shrimp and sausage combo can't be beat and the spiciness is kept in check by the creamy grits.

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock, plus more if needed
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup grits
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound smoked Andouille sausage, sliced 1/4-inch thick on an angle
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1/2 Spanish onion, small dice
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • For the grits: Bring 2 cups of the chicken stock, the heavy cream and 4 tablespoons of the butter to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat and simmer until the grits have thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps. Once the grits are thick and creamy, adjust the consistency with stock, if necessary, and season with salt and pepper.
  • For the shrimp and sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sausage and brown, then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving all of the fat in the pan. Add the garlic, bell peppers and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning to the pan and saute until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved sausage and remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock to the skillet and reduce a bit to intensify those flavors. Stir in the remaining tablespoon butter at the end, garnish with parsley, and add the lemon juice.
  • Serve the sausage, peppers and shrimp over the grits.

SPICY SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE



Spicy Shrimp and Pineapple Fried Rice image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound medium (21/25 count) shrimp, shells and tails removed, deveined, halved lengthwise, then crosswise
2 tablespoons Ginger-Garlic Paste, recipe follows
2 teaspoons sambal oelek (Asian chile-garlic sauce)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Peanut oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 tablespoon Ginger-Garlic Paste, recipe follows
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
4 cups cold cooked white rice
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sambal oelek
3 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup fresh ginger, broken into broken pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the soy sauce, Ginger-Garlic Paste, sambal and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • For the egg crepes: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon water. Set a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and coat it lightly with peanut oil. Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl the pan so the egg coats the bottom. Cook over low heat until firm, then carefully turn with a spatula and finish cooking on the other side, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer the egg crepe to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining egg mixture. When the crepes are cool enough to handle, stack, roll and slice them into thin julienne strips. Set aside until ready to use.
  • For the fried rice: Set a large wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil. Add the marinated shrimp and stir fry until slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add the onions, celery and Ginger-Garlic Paste and stir fry until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the rice and stir fry until hot and a little crispy, about 2 minutes, breaking up the rice with a wooden spoon as you go. Fold in the peas, edamame, pineapple and bean sprouts and continue to stir fry until the vegetables heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the soy sauce and sambal. Fold in the cooked shrimp and the sliced egg crepe. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions.
  • Pulse the garlic and ginger in a food processor. With the processor running, stream in the canola oil and process to a paste. (You'll need 3 tablespoons of the paste for the above recipe. Refrigerate remaining paste for up to a week.)

I make this spicy shrimp pasta a lot because it's a something my family never seems to get tired of. The sauce is so fast to make I can get it done while the fettuccine is cooking. In the past, I have added red peppers and spinach, but who's to say you could not add mushrooms or more or less spice. -Stephanie Beluk, Sharpsburg, Georgia

Spicy Shrimp & Crab Cocktail image

This seafood starter is so good that it makes me love a food I usually don't-radishes! This recipe also calls for spicy V8, but Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix works just as well. Serve the cocktail straight up, with tortilla chips or on a bed of butter lettuce. -Heidi Knaak, Liberty, Missouri

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup sake
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dark (toasted) sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped or grated ginger
1 cup large-diced red bell pepper
1 cup large-diced green bell pepper
1 cup large-diced onion
1 cup cubed cabbage
1 cup sliced carrot
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
24 large shrimp, shelled and deveined

Steps:

  • Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add soy sauce mixture; cook until lightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add vegetables and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are soft, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring often, until shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Divide among 4 bowls; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, succulent shrimp. This will ensure that your dish is packed with flavor. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and oil before cooking. This will help to infuse the shrimp with flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and lock in the flavor. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish. Spicy shrimp can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or even as a topping for salads or tacos.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its bold flavors and easy preparation, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this spicy shrimp recipe a try.
