Shrimp And Potato Chip Tortilla Recipes

GARLIC SHRIMP AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Toss the shrimp, snap peas, garlic, thyme and olive oil in a large bowl; set aside.
• Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water as needed. Stir in 1 tablespoon chives.
• While the potatoes are cooking, spread the shrimp and snap peas on a baking sheet. Broil until just cooked through and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Dot the shrimp and snap peas with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Toss until the butter melts and the mixture is well coated; season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes, shrimp, snap peas and any juices from the baking sheet among plates. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.

FERRAN ADRIà'S POTATO CHIP OMELET

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. (If you have a balloon whisk, now is the time to use it: It will aerate better than a standard whisk, and should take half the time and effort. Either way, your arm will burn by the end of this, but a fluffy, puffy omelet will be your reward.)
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium.
• Add the chips to the eggs. Using a plastic spatula, gently fold a few times to ensure chips are coated. Let the chips soak for 1 minute.
• Pour the mixture into the skillet, using the spatula to spread the potatoes into an even layer, then to loosen the omelet from the sides of the pan.
• After the bottom of the omelet is just about set - it should barely take on color but the top isn't completely set - 3 to 4 minutes, cover the omelet with an upside-down plate or a large, flat lid. Holding one hand flat against the plate and holding the skillet by its handle, gently flip over the omelet to release it onto the plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then carefully slide the omelet from the plate, uncooked-side-down, into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate, slice and serve immediately.

SHRIMP, POTATO, AND CHEESE TORTILLA

Steps:

• Position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat. Cook the bacon in a large (12-inch) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble the bacon when cool. Add the potato, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, paprika, and basil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potato is brown and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and milk with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste.
• Add the shrimp and bacon into the skillet and stir until the shrimp are pink, about 1 minute. Pull the skillet from the heat, pour the eggs over the potatoes and shrimp. Stir, just until the eggs begin to set and the potatoes and shrimp are evenly distributed in the skillet. Scatter the cheese over the eggs and top with the red pepper. Broil the tortilla until the eggs are set and the cheese begins to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve from the skillet. Alternatively, use a rubber spatula to loosen the eggs from the side of the skillet and invert onto a plate, invert the tortilla again, onto a serving platter or invert and slide tortilla onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve garnished with cheese and parsley.

POTATO-CHIP TORTILLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs and 1 cup water in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly crush the potato chips into the egg mixture and let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chips are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the onion.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat. Add the egg mixture and cook until it begins to set, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are firm and the top is golden and slightly crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes, then slide onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

SHRIMP AND POTATO CHIP TORTILLA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, and the pimenton.
• Lightly crush the potato chips in the bag. Stir them into the eggs and let the mixture sit until the potato chips are soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour 2 teaspoons of the oil into a very small skillet over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is soft and starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shallot to a plate to cool.
• When cool, stir the shallot into the egg mixture. Stir in the cilantro and shrimp until thoroughly combined.
• With the skillet still over medium heat, pour in the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. When it starts to shimmer, pour in the tortilla mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for a minute or two, then shake the pan back and forth and run a thin spatula around the edges of the tortilla. If there is loose, runny egg, lift an edge of the tortilla with the spatula and tilt the pan to let the liquid egg run underneath. Cook until the top of the tortilla is still wet but no longer a runny liquid, 3 to 5 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the pan. Run the spatula around the edges of the tortilla and then all the way underneath it to make sure the bottom is not sticking.
• If your spatula is large enough, use it to flip the tortilla in the pan. Alternatively, take a plate slightly larger than the skillet, and invert it on top of the skillet. Using oven mitts, grab both sides of the skillet, also holding the plate, and quickly and decisively turn both skillet and plate upside down, inverting the tortilla onto the plate and removing the skillet.
• If the skillet looks dry, add another teaspoon or so of olive oil, and when it starts to shimmer, slide the tortilla back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Shake the skillet to straighten the tortilla, decrease the heat to low, and continue cooking until a skewer inserted into the center comes out dry, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Invert the tortilla onto a plate again, let it cool for a few minutes, and eat.

CHIPOTLE TORTILLA CHIP-CRUSTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, jalapenos, green chiles, lime juice, cilantro and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Put 1 cup flour in a small shallow bowl; whisk the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Combine the ground tortilla chips and the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a third bowl.
• Season the shrimp with salt and the chile powder. Dredge the shrimp in the plain flour, dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then press into the tortilla chip?flour mixture until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate.
• Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches, add the shrimp and cook, turning, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel?lined plate to drain. Season with salt. Serve with the jalapeno mayonnaise, chipotle barbecue sauce and lime wedges.

• Remove and keep warm.
• Add remaining oil to skillet, add shrimp.
