Cabbage Stuffed With Orzo And Shrimp Recipes

ROASTED SHRIMP AND ORZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and a splash of oil, and bring the water to a boil. Add the orzo and simmer for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked al dente. Drain and pour into a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Pour over the hot pasta and stir well.
• Meanwhile, place the shrimp on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 5 to 6 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Don't overcook!
• Add the shrimp to the orzo and then add the scallions, dill, parsley, cucumber, onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Add the feta and stir carefully. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend, or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerated, taste again for seasonings and bring back to room temperature before serving.

ONE-POT SHRIMP SCAMPI ORZO

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and dried parsley in a small bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.

• Deglaze pot with white wine and stir until wine has cooked off. Pour in chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until orzo is tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Add peas and shrimp with marinade to the pot, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are light pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Divide between 2 dishes, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and garnish with lemon slices.

ORZO WITH CABBAGE

• Add onions, cabbage, thyme and celery and saute until onions begin to brown and cabbage has softened.
• Stir in puree, water and orzo and season to taste with salt, which is optional, and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 20 minutes, until orzo is soft and most of liquid has been absorbed.
• Serve sprinkled with bits of goat cheese.

SEAFOOD-STUFFED CABBAGE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325°. For the sauce, melt the butter in a cast iron pot over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Add the flour; whisking briskly until it is thoroughly incorporated. Let the mixture bubble for 1 minute, but don't let it darken. Add the shallot, thyme, and cayenne and continue to whisk as you stir in the seafood broth and wine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it thickens nicely. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate.
• 2. For the cabbage, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic and sweat until soft. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and mix in the shrimp, eggs, bread, milk, Tabasco, and celery salt. Carefully fold in the crabmeat, keeping the lumps intact. Cool the seafood filling while you blanch the cabbage leaves.
• 3. Bring a big pot of salted water to boil. Have a large bowl of ice water nearby to cool the leaves as they blanch. Add the cabbage leaves one at a time to the boiling water and blanch for 30 seconds. Transfer to the ice water, then quickly remove from the water and drain flat on towels.
• 4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the seafood mixture into the center of each cabbage leaf and roll up burrito-style. Pour the seafood sauce into the bottom of the cleaned cast iron pot. Carefully place each cabbage roll, seam-side down, snugly together over the sauce. There should be enough sauce to rise halfway up the sides of the rolls. Bake, covered, for 20-25 minutes.

ORIENTAL PORK AND SHRIMP STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS--LOW CARB

Steps:

• Fill a large lidded deep skillet with chicken stock about halfway up the pot and place it over high heat to bring it to a boil.
• Remove eight of the outer leaves of the cabbage (look for leaves that aren't torn).
• Cut off the thick end where the leaf was attached to the stem. Thinly slice the remaining head of cabbage until you've got about 2 cups and reserve.
• Drop the eight whole cabbage leaves into the boiling broth and cook for 2 minutes, until tender. Remove the cabbage leaves and place them into a bowl of ice water (or run them under cold water ) to stop them from cooking. Reserve broth and pan!
• Blot the leaves dry and reserve.
• To a food processor, add the garlic, grated ginger, and scallions to the bowl. Pulse the machine until the veggies are chopped up then add the shrimp and water chestnuts. Run the machine until the shrimp is ground into a paste then turn everything out into a mixing bowl.
• Add the pork, egg, shredded cabbage, carrots, sherry, chili paste, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, lime zest and juice. Combine the ingredients until evenly mixed.
• Lay out cabbage leaves on the counter. Divide the meat and veggie mixture among the leaves. Roll them up -- starting at the leafy end and rolling towards the stem end -- just like you'd roll up a burrito, tucking the sides in as you go. Secure it closed with a toothpick, if necessary.
• Return the rolls to the large, lidded skillet.
• Over medium-high heat, make sure there is enough chicken stock to fill it by about an inch, bring it to a bubble. Place the cabbage rolls into the boiling stock and put the lid on the pan. Steam the rolls until the meat has cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• While everything cooks, in a small serving bowl stir together the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil and T of scallions with the honey, ginger slices and a splash of water. Put this dipping sauce onto a serving platter along with duck sauce and Chinese hot-mustard. Serve the Napa rolls on the platter with scallion rice on the side.

CABBAGE PACKETS STUFFED WITH SHRIMP AND SALMON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and immerse the cabbage head. After a few minutes the outer leaves will begin to soften and separate; as they do, remove them from the water with a wooden fork and drain in a colander. Continue cooking until all the leaves are loose, about 10 minutes. Rinse the cabbage leaves under cool water and drain.
• Cut the salmon fillet into eight strips, about one-half-inch wide and two inches long, and set aside.
• To make the mousse, combine the shrimp, Tabasco sauce, salt, pepper, ginger and egg yolk in the container of a food processor or blender and puree for five seconds. Add the egg whites and puree for about 45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth. Add one-half cup of the fish stock in a steady stream while pureeing and continue blending for another minute or so until the mousse is very smooth. (You can test the consistency by dropping a teaspoonful of the mousse into simmering, salted water and poaching for a minute. If the texture is too watery, add more shrimp; if too firm and tough, add more fish stock.) Stir in the scallions. There should be about two cups of filling.
• To assemble the cabbage packets, place three medium-sized cabbage leaves on a thin cotton cloth or on a double layer of cheesecloth in a circular pattern. The top edges of the leaves should overlap and the three stem sides should face away from the center. Cut out the tough white stem sections. Salt and pepper the cabbage generously. Place one-third cup of mousse in the center of each set of leaves and lay a strip of salmon over each mound of mousse.
• Carefully fold the cabbage leaves over the filling, overlapping them to form a complete seal. Lift the edges of the cloth to encircle the packet and very slowly twist the cloth, over a sink, exerting a gentle pressure on the cabbage packet. The pressure should be sufficient to squeeze liquid from the cabbage packet without breaking the leaves. Carefully open the cloth and set aside the packet, seal side down. Repeat to make a total of eight packets.
• To make the sauce, combine the butter, oil, shallots and onions in a pot over high heat and cook for a minute, stirring well. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally.
• Gently place the cabbage packets in the pot, seal side down. Salt and pepper them generously, cover, and braise over medium-high heat for 10 minutes. To serve, place two cabbage packets on each of four plates and spoon some sauce around them.
