Tex Mex Shark And Shrimp Recipes

TEX-MEX GRILLED SHRIMP AND SALSA

Steps:

• Combine shrimp, olive oil, paprika, chili powder, and cumin in a large bowl. Gently stir until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the salsa.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno for 4 minutes. Flip and grill until tomatoes and jalapenos are blistered, about 4 minutes more.
• Cut tops off the tomatoes and discard. Cut jalapeno in half, scrape the skin off, and discard seeds. Quarter the onion. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skins.
• Place the grilled vegetables in a blender. Add lime juice and salt; blend until smooth. Add cilantro and pulse until evenly blended.
• Transfer shrimp to the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes per side. Serve with the salsa.

TEX-MEX SHRIMP AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
• Add the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and the pasta to the pot. Cook, stirring, until golden, 3 minutes; transfer to a separate bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, bell pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 to 2 tablespoons water to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, about 3 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium high; stir in 2 cups water, the tomatoes, toasted noodles and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring to break up any clumps. Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the water is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the shrimp. Top each serving with sour cream, pickled jalapenos and cilantro.

TEX-MEX SHRIMP AND GRITS

Steps:

• For the grits: Bring 3 cups of the stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Slowly stir in the grits. Return to a boil and cook over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn down the heat to low and stir in the pepper jack, queso blanco and crema. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the butter and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 2 cups chicken stock in a separate pan.
• For the shrimp: Meanwhile, add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the taco seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they begin to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes on each side, then remove and set aside. (The shrimp will finish cooking later in the sauce.)
• Add the chorizo to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Add the onion and all the peppers to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the chorizo is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the hot stock and hot sauce to taste. Return the shrimp to the skillet with their juices. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, an additional 2 minutes. Add the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• To serve, spoon the shrimp and sauce over the grits and garnish with the cilantro.
