BACON WRAPPED CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP WITH LEMON BASIL CREAM



Bacon Wrapped Crab Stuffed Shrimp with Lemon Basil Cream image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 pound lump crabmeat, picked clean
1/2 butter crackers, crushed (recommended: Ritz)
3 scallions, tops and whites finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon table salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
16 large shrimp, peeled
16 slices bacon
2 lightly packed cups fresh basil
1 cup walnuts
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon minced onion
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons pesto (see recipe above)
1 teaspoon roux (see recipe above)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven for 350 degrees F.
  • To make the crab stuffing: Combine the crab, crackers, scallions, pepper, mayonnaise, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, lemon, and garlic. Season the stuffing with salt and pepper and mix well. Set the stuffing aside.
  • Using a paring knife, slice the shrimp down the backs and remove and discard the 'veins'. Deepen the incisions if necessary, then spoon stuffing into each shrimp. Wrap each stuffed shrimp with bacon and arrange them in a large baking dish.
  • To make the pesto: pulse the basil, walnuts, cheese, and garlic together in a food processor (or grind in a mortar) then gradually incorporate the oil. Adjust the seasoning with lemon juice and set aside.
  • To make the roux: Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, and cook, stirring, until the mixture, although still pale, looks dryer and no longer smells raw, about 5 minutes. Remove the roux from the heat.
  • Transfer the shrimp to the oven and roast until the bacon begins to render and brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the shrimp and roast on the second side until the shrimp are opaque, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, make the lemon basil cream: Heat the oil and butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fragrant and golden, about 7 minutes. Add the wine and simmer for 5 minutes then add the cream. Simmer until the sauce has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and pesto, then whisk in the roux a tablespoon at a time (use just enough to thicken the sauce). Keep the sauce warm over very low heat.
  • Arrange the shrimp on 4 warm plates and serve with lemon basil cream sauce on the side.

STUFFED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC CREAM SAUCE



Stuffed Shrimp with Garlic Cream Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, minced
2 shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
2 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 artichoke, stem and leaf ends trimmed
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil plus additional for drizzling shrimp
1 medium onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, minced
2 cups bread crumbs
3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
Approximately 3/4 cup chicken stock
18 large shrimp (about 15 shrimp per pound), peeled but with tails on
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • To prepare the garlic cream sauce: Heat 3 tablespoons of oil with the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, shallots, garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the anchovy paste and cook until fragrant. Add the half-and-half and simmer over medium-low heat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with an equal amount of water and mix well. Whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Whisk the sauce as it returns to a simmer. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes then check the consistency. Repeat the process if the sauce is too thin. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and keep warm over very low heat.
  • To prepare the artichoke, shrimp, and stuffing: Put the artichoke in a medium saucepan, add about 2 inches of water and a little salt. Cover the pot and steam the artichoke over medium heat until a leaf pulls off easily, about 40 minutes. Allow the artichoke to cool then pull away the leaves and scrape the fibrous 'hair' from the heart. Slice the artichoke heart and reserve.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and translucent, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the bread crumbs, half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Moisten the stuffing with enough chicken stock so that it holds together. Set the stuffing aside.
  • Butterfly the shrimp. Remove the veins then lay the shrimp flat, cut-side up. Spoon stuffing into each shrimp. Place the artichokes in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Re-form the shrimp and place them in a snug single layer over the artichokes. Drizzle the shrimp with the melted butter and a little olive oil and bake until they are firm and opaque, about 10 minutes.
  • Arrange the shrimp and artichoke on appetizer plates then drizzle with garlic cream. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.

I am a Paula Deen Fanatic. She is probably the only chef on Food Network I would fall down and worship at her feet. I got the Christmas mag., "Celebrates" and Savannah Country Cooking (this one is SIGNED BY PAULA AND MICHAEL!) for Christmas. I'm posting the recipes here that are in these cookbooks that are not already posted (the ones I want to try, anyway) because if I were to get something on these cookbooks or they got messed up in anyway, I'd have to commit suicide.
