Culichi Shrimp Or Baked Dip Recipes

BAKED SHRIMP DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute shrimp in the hot oil with parsley, salt, and pepper until just heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Mix ketchup and horseradish together in a bowl for cocktail sauce, adding more ketchup or horseradish to adjust spiciness. Stir in mayonnaise and mix well. Fold in cooked shrimp until well mixed. Pour into a small, shallow baking dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the top of the mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are bubbly, about 20 minutes.

CREAMY BAKED SHRIMP DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine cream cheese, shrimp, green onions, garlic, and hot sauce in a bowl. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small, oven-safe baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a golden brown crust forms, about 30 minutes.

CULICHI DIP OR SAUCE

Steps:

• Roast whole poblanos: place on cookie sheet at 400 degrees. Bake for ~20 minutes, until the peppers are deflated & the skins are charred in spots. Place cooked peppers in a bowl with a top & cool (this will loosen the skin & make the peppers easy to handle). When cool, peel off the outer membrane of the peppers, along with the stem and seeds.
• Puree: Place all ingredients in a blender & puree until smooth. Add salt to taste.
• Pour mixture into baking pan. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese on top is bubbling & slightly golden.
• You can make the sauce ahead of time and keep in the fridge for a few days. If you do this, the baking time will be reduced. This is because of the onions; they add a sharpness that needs to be mellowed (baking does this, as does resting time in the fridge). If the sauce rests in the fridge for a few days, the baking time is ~ 25 minutes + an additional 10-15. If you bake it the day you make the sauce, it will need the stated, longer time.
• Poblanos vary in spiciness, from fairly mild to medium spicy. You won't know until the puree is done. If you want a spicier sauce, simply roast a few jalapeños along with the poblanos and add them to the puree.
• At Chihuahua (Tucson, AZ), this sauce is served over shrimp & fish. If you wish to do this, simply saute the fish or shrimp, until just barely done. Then toss with the puree. Top with some mozzarella and bake, until the top is bubbling & golden.
