Blackened Shrimp With Onions And Tomatoes Recipes

MOROCCAN SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• For the quick preserved lemon: In a small saucepan, combine lemon, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until lemon is soft, approximately 15 minutes. Cool, then chop. Set aside
• For the shrimp: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, add the oil followed by onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Gently cook, stirring, until vegetables are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ras el hanout and salt and roast in the oven 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and fold in chopped preserved lemon.
• Arrange shrimp over the tomato mixture in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven until the shrimp are cooked through and are bright coral pink, about 2 minutes. Remove, top with chopped cilantro and serve.

SUNNY'S QUICK ONION AND GARLIC SHRIMP WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Add olive oil, lemon zest and a few grinds of black pepper to a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Cook until oil is warm and pepper is fragrant when you waft it towards you, about 4 minutes.
• Add the onions, garlic, scallions, a pinch of chile flakes and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent them from browning, until the green of the scallions are wilted and darkened and the onion and garlic are tender, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add clam juice and lemon juice and bring to a light simmer; stir. Taste: If the tart of the tomatoes and lemon juice is too strong, add sugar in sprinkles, stirring and tasting as you go until it tastes just right. You may not use it at all or you may not use it all; it's totally optional.
• Raise the heat to medium and nestle the shrimp into the pan. Cover and cook on one side until shrimp begins to turn opaque and curl slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss and cook until shrimp just begins to turn pink on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. (Shrimp cooks fast and there's a thin line between done and overdone; the best rule is to remove the pan from the heat as it begins to reach the finish line.) Continue tossing and the heat of the pan will continue to cook the shrimp until done. Add pasta to a large serving bowl, then sprinkle with parsley, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with some more salt and pepper and top with the shrimp mixture. Serve warm during the winter or chilled during the summer.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH BLACKENED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make the remoulade: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 48 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
• Meanwhile, make the shrimp and fried green tomatoes: Heat 1 cup of the oil in a medium high-sided saute pan over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer--or simply add a few grains of the cornmeal into the oil and if it sizzles, rises to top and turns golden brown quickly, the oil is ready.
• Meanwhile, put the cornmeal and the buttermilk into 2 separate shallow baking dishes and season each with salt and pepper. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
• Dip each tomato slice in the buttermilk and let the excess drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal, gently pressing to help it adhere to both sides. Place on the wire rack and let sit for 5 minutes.
• While the tomatoes are resting, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper (and some spice mix, if using). Add half of the shrimp in a single layer and cook until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Add the tomatoes to the high-sided saute pan in a single layer and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to the wire rack and immediately season with salt.
• Top each tomato with 3 shrimp and some of the remoulade. Garnish with green onions or parsley.
