Acme Shrimp Recipes

BOOM BOOM SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pour canola oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet or saucepan to a depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium high to 375°F.
• Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Skewer 3 shrimp on each 6-inch skewer; then dredge shrimp in flour mixture. Set skewers aside. Whisk club soda into flour mixture, then dip skewers into wet batter. Working in batches, fry battered skewers 2-3 minutes or until golden. Serve with boom boom sauce.

SHEET PAN SHRIMP BOIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes until just tender and parboiled, about 10-13 minutes. Stir in corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking time; drain well. In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic and Old Bay seasoning. Place potatoes, corn, shrimp and sausage in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Stir in butter mixture and gently toss to combine. Place into oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and corn is tender. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, garnished with parsley, if desired.

STEAMED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Add the onion, garlic, Old Bay Seasoning, and a bay leaf to a large pot. Add 4 cups of water or stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Once the water has come to full, roaring boil, remove it from the heat. Carefully add the shrimp and cover the pot with a lid. Set an 8-minute timer and allow the shrimp to steep in the pot. The shrimp is done once it is pink and opaque.
• Pour the contents of the pot over a colander, pick out the shrimp and set aside. Sprinkle the remaining Old Bay Seasoning evenly over the shrimp and serve alongside lemon wedges and cocktail sauce.

PERFECTLY GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat your grill to high.
• Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Toss the shrimp with the oil and season with the salt and pepper.
• Place the shrimp on the grates of the grill in an even layer and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp over and continue grilling until just cooked through, 45 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove the shrimp to a platter.

GRILLED MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reserve a small amount for basting later. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag with shrimp. Seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium-low heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp for 5 minutes per side, or until opaque, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
