Shrimp My Way Recipes

SHRIMP, MARK'S WAY

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook carefully, lowering the heat as necessary, until the garlic is just colored; add the spices and stir.
• Raise the heat to medium and add the shrimp; sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook gently, turning once or twice, until nicely coated with the spices and oil and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the shrimp with the pan juices, garnishing with the parsley and lemon wedges.

SHRIMP SCAMPI (MY WAY)

Steps:

• Start pasta water.
• In a large sauté pan melt butter & olive oil (low - medium heat).
• Start by adding the onions when they have some color (5 minutes or so).
• By this time the water should be almost ready.
• Add garlic and red pepper flakes to the onion, sauté for about a minute or 2. Stir not to burn. (burnt garlic YUCK must start over if you do this).
• Add pasta to the water and salt as you would.
• To the sauté pan add shrimp(if using clams and mussels you need to hold tight for a few).
• Cook the shrimp for about 3 minutes.
• Flip the shrimp.
• Keep an eye on the pasta cook till a'dente (don't forget to save some water).
• Add the lemon rind, juice and wine.
• Cook about 4 more minutes or until done.
• Add pasta water to thin sauce to how thin you like.
• Dump drained pasta in a big bowl (this is for the shrimp and the clams or mussels).
• When the shrimp is done, dump all over the pasta.
• Serve YUMMMY.
• O.K. now if you are using the clams and mussels don't add the shrimp. Just skip the whole shrimp thing. After the garlic softens add the lemon rind and lemon juice and wine and pasta water, bring to a boil. Add the clams and or mussels, cover and steam till they open. Throw any unopened ones. Dump all over pasta.
• Enjoy!
• 2 for the price of 1 not bad, LOL.

SHRIMP MY WAY

Steps:

• Combine the oil and garlic in a skillet no larger than 10 inches across. Turn the heat to medium, and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle, then turn the heat to medium-low. When the garlic is blond, stir in cumin and paprika. Add the shrimp, and raise the heat to high.
• Cook, stirring occasionally and sprinkling with salt and cayenne, until the shrimp are all pink, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and add most of the parsley and the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve garnished with the remaining parsley.
