Chardonnay Shrimp Spread Recipes

MADELINE'S CHARDONNAY SHRIMP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add garlic and cook for one minute.
• Stir in wine, worcestershire sauce, and seasonings and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to simmer and add the shrimp. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until shrimp becomes pink and tender.
• Serve shrimp in wide shallow bowls with cooking juices. A crusty bread goes nicely to soak up the yummy juices.

SHRIMP DIP

Steps:

• Beat together the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo until smooth and creamy. Spread out on a large plate with an edge or in a 9x13 pan.
• Spread the seafood sauce over the cream cheese mixture gently.
• Sprinkle the shrimp over top of the sauce in an even layer.
• Layer the remaining ingredients however you like. I usually go green peppers, tomatoes, a little cheese, green onions and then the rest of the cheese.
• Refrigerate until serving.
• Serve with Ritz crackers for the BEST taste, but this also works with tortilla chips!

CREAMY SHRIMP SPREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, ketchup, mayonnaise, onion, mustard and garlic salt. Stir in the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with baguette slices.

SHRIMP IN CHARDONNAY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 10-inch skillet with sloping sides, or a wok or saucepan, combine wine, shallots, 2 tablespoons butter, a large pinch of salt and cayenne. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce, stirring occasionally, until nearly dry, about 10 minutes. While it reduces, peel shrimp.
• Add shrimp to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in remaining butter and, if you like, cream. Taste and add more salt or cayenne if necessary. Garnish and serve immediately.

CREAMY SHRIMP SCAMPI DIP

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top position, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Beat the cream cheese, mozzarella, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add the shrimp.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp just start to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes (there will be some liquid left in the skillet). Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the shrimp cool completely.
• Meanwhile, mix together the parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter, the lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
• Stir the shrimp, pan sauce and cream cheese mixtures together to combine; transfer to a 2-quart flameproof baking dish. (The dip and breadcrumb mixture can be covered and refrigerated overnight separately at this point.) Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the dip, and bake until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and cook until the top is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with bread and/or crackers.

SHRIMP SPREAD

Steps:

• Finely chop the shrimp; place in a bowl.
• Stir in the next six ingredients until well blended.
• Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Serve with crackers.

SHRIMP SURPRISE SPREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until well-blended. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Scatter the shrimp generously over the top of the mixture.
• In another bowl, stir together the cocktail sauce, green pepper, green onions, garlic, and tomato.
• Working in layers, spread a portion of the cocktail sauce mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with a portion of mozzarella cheese. Repeat process until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top. Serve with assorted crackers for dipping.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH CHARDONNAY-DIJON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the oil. Heat about 30 seconds; add the shrimp, distributing evenly in the pan. Cook, turning once, until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a platter; cover with foil to keep them warm.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water; cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following package directions for the time.
• Meanwhile, heat the same skillet over high heat; add the wine. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape and dissolve pan deposits; cook until liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. REduce the heat to medium-high; stir in the cream. Cook 1 minute; stir in the mustard. Cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
• Drain pasta; divide equally amongst 4 shallow bowls. Spoon the sauce over the pasta. Divide the shrimp evenly amongst the bowls. Garnish with parsley.
• This goes really well with crusty bread!
