WASABI TEMPURA SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the tempura: To begin, preheat the oil to 375 degrees F, and then begin the batter. In mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt together, blending well. Next, add the egg and again mix. Then stir in the soda water and vinegar, and mix for final time. Keep cold until use and stir again before each use.
• For the sauce: In a bowl, blend the mayo and wasabi, whisking together well to form a smooth sauce. Hold cold until dressing the cooked shrimp.
• For the shrimp: Slice the shrimp from head to tail, forming 2 even pieces; this will yield 46 total pieces. Next, dip and evenly coat 12 shrimp at a time with the tempura batter, and then place in the hot oil. Cook until fluffy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and repeat the process with the remaining shrimp.
• Once all the shrimp are cooked, toss them with the prepared sauce. Remove from the sauce without excess, and finish with lemon juice. Serve.

THAI SPICY SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the shrimp among 6 small ramekin dishes and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix the garlic, tomatoes, onions, chili paste, and salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the mixture between the 6 ramekin dishes over the shrimp. In a saucepan, over medium-high heat, blend both the oils and heat to 325 degrees F. When the oil reaches the proper temperature, pour it evenly into the ramekin dishes. Bake in the oven until the shrimp turn pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. To finish, slice the bread on a bias, about 1-inch thick. Remove the ramekins from the oven and serve immediately with the bread on the side for dipping.

SHRIMP CARBONARA

Steps:

• For the carbonara base sauce: Put the pancetta in a cold saute pan and then put it over medium-high heat. When the fat starts to melt, stir the pancetta once in a while so it doesn't burn in the pan. Allow the pancetta to cook in the rendered fat until crispy and brown, about 30 minutes. Remove the pancetta pieces to a plate lined with paper towels, saving the fat in the pan.
• Whisk the flour into the pancetta fat to make a roux and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring so it does not burn. Whisk the milk into the the roux. (Transfer to a large pot if your saute pan is not big enough to hold the sauce.) Allow the sauce to gently simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Whisk in the Parmesan and season with some salt and pepper. Simmer to melt the cheese, another 2 to 3 minutes. Hold warm for serving.
• To finish the dish: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, season the shrimp with some salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the oil and then, working in batches if necessary, cook the shrimp to get a golden brown sear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. You do not want to overcrowd the pan. Add more oil between batches if necessary. Squeeze the juice of 1 of the lemons over the shrimp, add the butter to the pan and remove from the heat to let the shrimp rest.
• Bring the carbonara base sauce back up to a simmer. Add the pasta to the sauce and then add the peas and cooked pancetta. Adjust the consistency of the sauce with water if needed.
• Add the shrimp to the pan with the pasta, toss and then season with some salt and pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of lemon juice from the remaining lemon.
• To plate, divide the pasta and sauce among 6 bowls and arrange the pasta. Garnish with the parsley.

TUSCAN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Add the oil to a large saute pan over high heat. Next, add the shrimp and cook. Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and pepper, with a stirring motion, and cook until the shrimp are medium-rare in temperature, about 2 minutes. Next, deglaze the pan with the wine and add the tapenade. Reduce the heat and stir the tapenade into the shrimp. After blending the tapenade in, add the marinara, stir again and allow to warm, about 2 minutes. Finally, add the cooked spaghetti, stir and warm until the spaghetti is hot, about 3 minutes. Again, toss and serve or portion the pasta. Finish with the Parmesan and basil.
