Butter And Herb Poached Shrimp Recipes

BUTTER POACHED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together shrimp, hot sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• In a large saucepan, bring 3 tablespoons water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in butter until smooth. Add zest, bay leaves, garlic, chives, red pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, stirring until combined. Add shrimp; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves before serving. Garnish with chives and red pepper, if desired.

GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

BUTTER AND HERB POACHED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a sauce pan on medium heat add water and butter. Allow the butter to completely melt (about 2 minutes). Add basil, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Cook on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes stirring slowly so that the butter is infused with the flavors. Lower the heat to low. Add shrimp and stir slowly until shrimp turns a nice coral color and the tails curl. (3 minutes with extra large shrimp, max 4-5 minutes.) Be careful not to over cook the shrimp or it will become rubbery.

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.
