Cheesy Garlic Shrimp Appetizer Recipes

GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thaw, peel & devein 1 lb shrimp.
• Sprinkle with whatever seasoning you like. I used 1 tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp black pepper & ¼ tsp salt.
• Heat skillet with couple tablespoons oil until almost a smoking point.
• Carefully place some shrimp on the skillet trying not to overcrowd the skillet, to prevent drastic loss of heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Turn to the other side. Cover with lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until it's cooked through.
• When cooked, the shrimp will curl up even more. Remove to a serving platter and stick a decorative 'toothpick'.

SIMPLE GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Place shrimp in an even layer on the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 minute without stirring.
• Season shrimp with salt; cook and stir until shrimp begin to turn pink, about 1 minute.
• Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, caper brine, 1 1/2 teaspoon cold butter, and half the parsley.
• Cook until butter has melted, about 1 minute, then turn heat to low and stir in 1 1/2 tablespoon cold butter. Cook and stir until all butter has melted to form a thick sauce and shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl; continue to cook butter sauce, adding water 1 teaspoon at a time if too thick, about 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
• Serve shrimp topped with the pan sauce. Garnish with remaining flat-leaf parsley.

BAKED GARLIC SHRIMP. KEG STYLE RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Now to cook up this buttery goodness: Melt your butter in a sauce pan. Add the garlic, parsley and escargot mix. Saute for a few minutes Add the shrimp. Saute until they are pink or warm the whole way through. (I use precooked shrimp. But if you aren't you'll want to wash them before you stick them in, and cook them till they are pink and puffy) Get out those escargot plates. Place one little guy in each hole, and add some of the butter/garlic/parsley mix to each. Cover with cheese. Stick in oven and broil until cheese is melted and a little crispy. Kinda like a good pizza. Serve, with some crusty bread, to your husband who will think you are some chef extraordinaire. (No need to tell him otherwise) I dip my bread in the butter once all the shrimps are annihilated. We like a cold glass of coke with this tasty treat but I think most people would enjoy a glass of wine.
