MEDITERRANEAN SHRIMP RECIPE WITH BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry and place it in a large bowl. Add the flour, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, coriander, cayenne, and sugar. Toss until the shrimp is well-coated.
• In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until fragrant (be sure not to burn the garlic.) Add the bell peppers and cook another 4 minutes or so, tossing occasionally.
• Now add the shrimp. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes, broth, white wine and lemon juice. Cook for a couple more minutes or until the shrimp turns bright orange.
• Finally, stir in the chopped fresh parsley and serve!

WARM SHRIMP ANTIPASTO

Steps:

• Heat broiler. In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients except 1 tablespoon olive oil and the bread. Transfer shrimp to an edged baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer, and pour the sauce over. Broil, about 2 inches from the heat, until shrimp are cooked through and browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lightly brush one side of the bread slices with remaining tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place a piece of bread on each of 4 plates; divide shrimp among them.
• Place baking sheet with sauce on a burner over medium-high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle sauce over bread and shrimp, and serve.

ANTIPASTO

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients in large pot. Boil 5 minutes.
• Add next 4 ingredients, boil 10 minutes.
• Add balance of ingredients. Try not to break up shrimp and tuna too much. Bring to just boiling.
• Process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes.
• Note: *Drain everything except olives and pickled onion juice. Biffy and Frank's flub (taste great.) Omit vinegar.
• Optional - small amount of brown sugar, HP sauce, chopped garlic, hot pepper sauce (dried or fresh) WE NEVER USE THESE.
• Something sure has changed with Recipe Zaar! When trying to put the ingredients in it was a big pain in the butt for the sizes. I've converted the grams to ounces but I didn't have everything in my cupboard to actually look at so I guessed. But most cans come pretty standard, and the "Frozen Shrimp" is a large bag -- it wouldn't let me put just "large.".
