Artichoke Puree With Crispy Shrimp And Lime Recipes

CRISPY COATED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Drain the artichokes, pat dry, and cut them in half, lengthwise. In a small shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, and Italian seasoning.
• In a small skillet, heat the oil on medium-high until hot. Dip the artichoke halves into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drain off, then into flour mixture, turning to coat. Drop a few at a time into the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until golden, about 6 minutes, total. Repeat with remaining artichokes. Serve immediately.

ARTICHOKE SOUP WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Reserve 1 large or 2 small artichoke hearts and place the rest in the saucepan. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Place the mixture in a blender. Holding the top down securely with a towel, puree the soup until smooth. Place in a saucepan, season with the salt and pepper and keep warm over low heat. In a medium size skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and saute until cooked. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice the reserved artichoke hearts. Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Divide the sliced artichokes among the bowls, placing them in the center. Place the shrimp over the artichoke slices so they stand out of the soup slightly. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.

ARTICHOKE SHRIMP LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook the linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute the red pepper, garlic and onion in oil and butter until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the shrimp; saute until shrimp turn pink. Stir in the remaining ingredients; heat through. Drain linguine; serve with shrimp mixture.

GARLIC LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the shrimp, garlic, salt and cayenne in butter until the shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in lime juice and parsley. Serve with pasta.

SHRIMP ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium baking dish, mix together Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, artichoke hearts, green onions, garlic salt, mayonnaise and shrimp. Sprinkle with paprika.
• Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

CRISPY ARTICHOKES WITH HONEY AND CHINESE MUSTARD

Steps:

• Prepare dressing by whisking together the honey, lime juice, mustard and fish sauce; set aside.
• Deep fry artichokes in batches until they start to color, but don't allow to burn, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Toss with the dressing, mint leaves, sichimi togarashi, salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
• Note 1: Small artichokes need virtually no trimming, but the larger ones need some trimming. Prepare a large bowl of cold water and the juice of one lemon. For each artichoke, cut off all but about an inch of the stem and the sharp ends of the leaves (if they are, in fact, sharp), and pull off any outer leaves that are not tender. Using a sharp paring knife, peel the base of the artichoke and then the stem. Cut each artichoke in half and, using a teaspoon, scoop out the choke. As you trim each artichoke, place it in the bowl of lemon water. The very smallest artichokes are so tender that they require neither peeling nor de-choking.
• Note 2: Use Japanese seven spice. It contains ground red pepper, mandarin orange peel, sesame seed, poppy seed, hemp seed, nori, ground Sichuan peppers. Or substitute with cayenne and ginger.

GRILLED CILANTRO-LIME SHRIMP WITH SPICY HASS AVOCADO PUREE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime juice and zest, cilantro, cumin and oil and whisk well. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Do not marinate shrimp longer than 5 minutes or the lime juice will begin cooking the shrimp.
• Preheat a barbecue or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly charred and cooked through, making sure not to overcook the shrimp. Remove the cooked shrimp from the grill and place on a serving platter, with a small serving bowl of the Spicy Hass Avocado Puree. Garnish the shrimp with fresh sprigs of cilantro and serve.
• Avocado Puree: Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream and jalapeno to a blender and puree until smooth, scraping the sides of the blender as needed. Season with salt to taste. Place in a covered, airtight container and refrigerate until serving.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE PURéE

Steps:

• Put the artichokes and potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the artichokes and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Pass the artichokes and potatoes through a ricer or fine sieve back into the saucepan. Stir in the milk. Season to taste with salt and place over low heat. Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Cook, occasionally swirling the pan, until the butter is brown and has a nutty aroma. Stir into the artichokes.
