YTBT: Shrimp Recipes
We came home from the Gulf with about 10 lbs of fresh shrimp.
I'm going to post up my "in works" recipes here and move them to the final posting place if they turn out well.
Tonight, I am inventing something from two recipes I found that both sounded good - but both had something I didn't care for... LOL!
I received a big Fennel in my delivery of veggies, and have been dying to try it out -- because its used in so many Mediterranean recipes. And I love Middle Eastern/Med food!
Beta Testing: Shrimp with Fennel Root
18 colossal size shrimp - big guys - tails Off, de-veined
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, juiced
4 cloves garlic, powder or fresh
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oi
1 fennel bulb, cored and cut into 2-inch-long strips (about 3 cups), float in water until you're ready for it.
Place shrimp in a bowl and season with red pepper flakes, lots of salt and pepper. Add garlic and oil and toss to coat shrimp evenly. Set aside. Toss occasionally.
Juice lemons, and set aside.
***** Company arrived unannounced, so here I sit... *****
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add fennel & garlic, cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
Increase heat on pan to medium-high.
Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and just cooked through, about 4 minutes, until pink and firm, douse pan with the juice of 2 lemons and serve immediately.
sounds tasty, doesn't it?

it looked really BLAHHHH, so I added:
some chopped spinach.
tossed in da schrimpies.
turned out pretty well. Very tasty, a little blah like it needed a bit more red pepper and another clove of garlic.
Other than THAT -- it was orgasmic! As in: I caught Donger licking his plate!!
I'll adjust the recipe a bit.

Re: YTBT: Shrimp Recipes
Silly me... somehow I used 3/4 of the garlic called for in the recipe -- no wonder I thought it needed more.
Posted it over in the Under the Sea section!

Re: YTBT: Shrimp Recipes
Don't think you can ever have too much garlic. Not enough, yes.

Re: YTBT: Shrimp Recipes
LOL! I am one of those who does 100-150% of what it calls for, and adjusts from there! Also the same on the spicy scale -- 100-150% and go from there!

Re: YTBT: Shrimp Recipes
OK... researching the next Shrimp recipe, I find quite a few refer to a "Cajun Seasoning" for which I cannot find, or haven't bothered looking well enough, in South Texas where Chipotle is KING. Shreveport is only about 8 hours away, and New Orleans is about 6 -- but no Cajun Seasoning here. :-\
Cajun Seasoning
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
Mix. Seal well in jar. [Can be made in bigger batches, as all the measures are equal parts of each ingredient.]

==========================
This one looks intriguing! Cannot wait to try it!! Hmmm, guess I won't double it.
"This is one recipe I NEVER want to lose! Prepared on Eyewitness News Midday by Dave Trombetta of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. so it's definitely OK to post & share. This is one of the most delicious Shrimp recipes. I love it because you get plenty of broth to sop up with your bread, and it's SO flavorful. Definitely Cajun, so not for people who don't like spicy food. Enjoy & please post reviews! Cooking time may vary, based on type of rice you choose to serve, so cooking time does not include rice cooking time. Preparation time assumes you have shrimp that has been peeled and deveined for you. Cooks very quickly! I made this recently and doubled it, but I found that the flavor was diluted. If anyone makes this and is able to successfully double/triple the recipe with the same amount of flavor, pls post in your comment/review. I personally would like to have MORE broth than what this makes just like you get at the restaurant. It is spicy!"

Re: YTBT: Shrimp Recipes
You are right about the salt! My cajun seasoning's number one ingredient is salt! But we do love it, especially on shrimp.
We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks.

Re: YTBT: Shrimp Recipes
Yeahhh, I cannot do salt much -- my eyes puff up incredibly with water retention.
I have Tony Cachere's, but I get the "More Spice/Less Salt" version... and from the ingredients, it appears to be very Tony-like!
The shrimp gorging has been put on hiatus. Yesterday was my birthday, his birthday and our anniversary (Big #5!) so we have been doing other grazing. Probably back to home-cooked tonight!

Hm. We still have a couple pounds of the Gulf Shrimp left... I need to revisit this!
I've Fridays off for the rest of the Summer, so I will re-look at some good recipes for Shrimpies.
