Wine Poached Mahimahi And Shrimp Recipes

POACHED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with about a 1/2 gallon of water, add the salt and squeeze in the lemon juice; toss the halves in there too for extra flavor. Add the herbs and seafood seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the water with the aromatics.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and add shrimp. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are bright pink and the tails curl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and chill thoroughly before peeling. Serve with lemon wedges and Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce as part of a raw shellfish bar.
• Combine the tomatoes, celery, and onion in a blender and puree to break the vegetables down. Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. Chill before serving with a raw bar.

WINE-POACHED MAHIMAHI AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat fish dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 fish fillets to skillet. Cook fish on one side only until brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer fish to plate. Repeat with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and fish fillets.
• Combine clam juice, wine, lemon slices, garlic and crushed red pepper in heavy large skillet. Cover and simmer until flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Add fish and any accumulated juices to skillet. Cover and simmer until fish is opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fish to platter. Add shrimp to fish cooking liquid. Simmer until shrimp are just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to platter with fish. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Remove garlic and lemon slices from cooking liquid; boil until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 20 minutes.
• Divide Sautéed Fennel, Capers and Arugula among 6 plates. Place 1 fish fillet atop each. Top each with 3 shrimp. Spoon reduced fish cooking liquid over. Garnish with fennel fronds.

SHRIMP AND MAHI-MAHI CEVICHE

Steps:

• For the chipotle-lime poached shrimp: Combine the chipotles, lime juice, wine and salt with 4 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil. Prepare an ice water bath.
• Add the shrimp to the boiling liquid, reduce the heat to medium and poach the shrimp for 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and chill in the ice bath. Slice the shrimp lengthwise along the seam.
• Cool the poaching liquid and store the shrimp in the chilled poaching liquid until ready to use.
• For the ceviche: Remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid. Combine the mahi-mahi, jalapenos, cantaloupe, honeydew, red onions, and shrimp in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, whisk together the lime juice, grapeseed oil, salt, sriracha and pepper. Pour over the fish and shrimp mixture and mix well. Store in the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.
• For Plating: Spread the cream cheese on the bottom of 6 martini glasses and use it to "glue" the glasses to the centers of 6 serving plates. Divide the ceviche among the glasses. Garnish each with 2 sprigs of watercress and spread 10 tortilla chips around each glass.
