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:

  • 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.

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.

CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GARLIC AND HERB SHRIMP



Chef John's Grilled Garlic and Herb Shrimp image

This grilled garlic and herb shrimp recipe is very easy, IF you can just walk out into the backyard, and pick a handful of your own fresh, green sprigs. However, these are so amazingly delicious, if you don't have a garden, then do splurge and buy a bunch of all the herbs. And get the extra large shrimp so they can grill longer and get maximum caramelization.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon lemon zest
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh lemon thyme leaves
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed
2 pounds extra large shrimp (16-20), peeled and deveined, tail left on
skewers
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ lemon, juiced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Place salt, lemon zest, and 3 cloves garlic in bowl of a mortar and pestle. Pound with the pestle until mixture begins to form a paste, about 2 minutes. Add chopped basil, parsley, oregano, and thyme and pound with pestle until mixture begin to come together, about 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into herb mixture. Grind together until mixture begins to form a sauce for marinating, about 1 minute. Pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Stir mixture with a spoon until mixture is thoroughly combined, adding additional olive oil as needed. Mixture should be fairly thick but pourable.
  • Place shrimp in a large bowl and mix in about 2/3 of the sauce, reserving 1/3 for serving. Stir until shrimp are evenly coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Thread shrimp onto skewers (pierce each twice, once through large part of shrimp, once through small part). Place skewers on hot grill. Cook on each side until shrimp are bright pink and opaque and exterior is beginning to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer skewers to serving platter.
  • Pour remaining sauce into mixing bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Spoon sauce over shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED SHRIMP WITH ROSEMARY AND LEMON



Roasted Shrimp With Rosemary and Lemon image

Shrimp is now the most popular seafood in America, and this bright and fragrant treatment couldn't be simpler. Just scatter several rosemary branches onto a sheet pan and top with shrimp. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil then roast until the shrimp are peachy pink all over. For the most part, the shrimp will tell you when they're done. Certainly they're ready once they're pink, though very large shrimp may need an extra minute to cook through. To check, slice one in half; if it's opaque, or even nearly so, season to taste and start eating.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Several rosemary branches
1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp
Olive oil
Fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 500.
  • Lay a bunch of rosemary branches in the bottom of a roasting pan, and put 1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp on top. Sprinkle generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Roast, turning the shrimp once, until they're pink all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Prep work: Prior to cooking, ensure all the necessary ingredients are prepped and measured. Devein and peel the shrimp, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the herbs.
  • Choosing the right shrimp: Opt for fresh or frozen shrimp that are medium-sized and have their shells removed. For a more intense flavor, select shrimp with their tails intact.
  • Cooking the shrimp: Cook the shrimp in hot oil over medium-high heat. This will help create a nice sear on the shrimp and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Adding the aromatics: Once the shrimp are cooked, add the garlic, ginger, and herbs to the pan. Sauté them briefly to release their flavors.
  • Deglazing the pan: To add depth to the sauce, deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken broth. This will help dissolve any browned bits and create a flavorful sauce.
  • Simmering the sauce: Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and thicken.
  • Adjusting the seasoning: Before serving, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Conclusion:

This spicy shrimp recipe offers a delightful fusion of flavors with its blend of garlic, basil, and rosemary. The shrimp are cooked to perfection, with a tender texture and a slightly spicy kick. Whether served as an appetizer or a main course, this dish is sure to impress. Its ease of preparation and versatility make it a great choice for any occasion.
