Lindas Marinated Shrimp Recipes

GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

LINDA'S MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Mix sauce with electric mixer about 5 minutes before pouring over shrimp.
• Shell and devein shrimp. Cook shrimp in water until they just turn pink, 1-2 minutes. Don't overcook.
• Put cooked shrimp, raw onion slices, and Bay leaves in a container.
• Pour sauce over all. Fold gently to incorporate the sauce evenly.
• Cover the container, and let it remain in the refrigerator at least 24 hours. (It is not necessary, but I do stir them once or twice in the 24-hour period. It is an excuse to sample one).
• Before serving, drain the sauce. Put drained shrimp in serving dish.
• Sprinkle with parsley flakes, if desired.
• Serve with crackers.

LINDA'S BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place shrimp, tails up, in a glass baking dish, big enough to hold all. I use individual baking dishes, single serving size, and put 4 shrimp in each dish.
• Crush crackers, and put them in a bowl.
• Add the melted margarine to the crackers, and squirt in some lemon. Mix well.
• Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Put cracker crumbs on top of the shrimp, and squeeze some more lemon over top, depending on how much you like lemon. I love lots, the more the better!
• Bake in a 350 oven, for 30-40 mins., or until cracker crumbs are golden brown.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH LEMONGRASS MARINADE

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high. (If using charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches about grates for just 3 to 4 seconds.) Remove shrimp from marinade, wiping off excess, and season with salt and pepper. Skewer shrimp from head to tail and grill until shell is slightly charred and shrimp are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
