Shrimp Frittata Recipes

SHRIMP FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add eggs and milk.
• Whisk mixture until light and frothy; set aside.
• Pour oil into a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add the scallions and saute for 1 minute or just until they are soft.
• Add the shrimp, thyme, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
• Saute, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and firm.
• Turn heat to low; pour in the egg mixture; make sure the shrimp and onions are evenly distributed.
• Cover the skillet and cook without disturbing for about 8 minutes or until the eggs are set.
• Cut the frittata in half and transfer to individual serving plate (I use a pancake flipper thingy).

CHEESY SHRIMP FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Spray a pie plate (or two ramekins) with cooking spray.
• Thinly slice (or dot) butter over bottom of pie plate.
• Place shrimp, feta, and green onions in plate.
• Beat eggs with dash of garlic salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sour cream until well-combined. Pour over shrimp in pie plate.
• Top with crushed croutons, then Romano cheese.
• Bake at 325F for 20 minutes.
• Cool 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve with a salad, or sliced tomatoes.

ASPARAGUS AND SHRIMP FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the rice with 2/3 cup water and bring to a boil in heavy-bottomed pot. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, cooking a total of 17 minutes.
• Wash and trim asparagus by breaking stalks at the point where the tough woody part meets the tender stalk. Take 1 pound of the asparagus and cut the stalks into 1/4-inch pieces. Steam the asparagus for 3 to 5 minutes, until it is tender but still firm.
• Meanwhile, wash and chop the chives; wash, trim, seed and chop the red pepper into small dices. Wash the thyme and remove leaves from sprigs; cut the shrimp into 1/4-inch pieces; grate the rind of the orange, and grate the cheese.
• Drain the asparagus. Steam the remaining whole asparagus.
• Whisk the eggs and egg whites until they are well beaten. Stir in the chives, red pepper, thyme, shrimp, orange rind, cheese and cut-up asparagus. When rice is cooked, stir in. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a 12-inch nonstick saute pan that can go into the oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil and pour egg mixture in the pan, stirring for about a minute. Reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes longer.
• Drain the whole asparagus.
• Place saute pan in the oven and bake until the eggs set, about 5 minutes. Loosen the frittata and place a serving plate over the pan. Flip the frittata on to the serving plate. Surround with the whole asparagus. Serve with bread.

FRITTATA (SHRIMP OR SCALLOPS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add the 1 tablespoon of salt.
• Quickly blanch either the shrimp or the scallops in the salted water, then drain and toss in the melted butter.
• Season with the salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, 9 inch, cast iron or oven proof skillet over high heat and pour in the eggs.
• Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are almost coagulated.
• The eggs should be semi-solid.
• Add the shrimp or scallops and distribute them evenly.
• Place the skillet into the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, until the eggs are completely done.
• Remove from oven, top with parsley and serve.
