Spiced Salt Baked Shrimp Recipes

EASY BAKED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or preheat the broiler.
• If frozen, thaw the shrimp.
• Mince the garlic. Pat the shrimp dry. In a medium bowl, toss with the shrimp with the olive oil, garlic, oregano, onion powder, and kosher salt.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet in an even layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until juicy and opaque, about 4 to 6 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.
• Place the shrimp on a baking sheet in an even layer. Place the baking sheet in the broiler and broil for 3 to 6 minutes, until juicy and opaque, rotating the tray as necessary for even cooking.
• Spritz with fresh lemon juice from lemon wedges, sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve immediately.

SALT-BAKED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place the shrimp and baking soda in a bowl and mix well to coat. Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes.
• Place the water and 1 tablespoon salt in a pot, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and water-blanch for 10 seconds. Remove the shrimp with a strainer and run cold water through them to cool. The water-blanching removes all of the liquid from the shrimp.
• Place the shrimp in a dish, sprinkle with cornstarch to coat them lightly, and shake off excess. Heat a wok over high heat for 1 minute, add the peanut oil, and heat to 350 degrees F. Place the shrimp in a Chinese strainer, lower into the oil, and oil-blanch for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, remove with the strainer, and drain. Transfer the oil from the wok to a bowl.
• Return 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil to the wok and heat over high heat for 20 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the chilies and cook, stirring, for 45 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, making certain they are well coated, for 1 minute. They should be dry and crusted. Turn off the heat, transfer to a heated platter, and serve.

• Carefully remove pan from oven and set shrimp in a single layer on salt and then cover with remaining, cool salt mixture.

Add olives, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until paste is slightly darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you go, and their liquid and cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Stir rice, cumin, and turmeric into sauce, then pour in broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, adjusting heat to low to maintain a simmer if needed, until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Uncover pot and stir in reserved shrimp. Re-cover pot and cook until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 3 minutes.
• Divide shrimp and rice among bowls and top with parsley.
