Gamberi Al Cioccolato Shrimp With Chocolate Recipes

SOUFFLE AL CIOCCOLATO

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or double boiler.
• Whip the egg whites with 3 tablespoons sugar, until fluffy.
• In a separate bowl, add the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar to the egg yolks, and whisk well.
• Remove the melted chocolate from the heat. Let it cool for a couple of minutes. To decrease the temperature further, combine the chocolate with the cold milk in a mixing bowl. Add the egg yolk mixture and continue whisking.
• Gradually whisk the flour into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the whipped egg whites until the consistency is even and smooth.
• Butter 8 baking ramekins. Evenly divide the chocolate mixture among them. Let rest in the freezer for two hours.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 360 degrees F for 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

GAMBERI IN PADELLA (GARLICKY PAN-ROASTED SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Remove the dark intestinal veins from the shrimp. As you do, make each cut deep enough to butterfly the shrimp, so each can be opened flat like a book. Fill a bowl with ice water, add the sea salt and the butterflied shrimp, and let stand for 15 minutes to bring out some of the briny flavor of the shellfish. (Removing their shells robs the shrimp of some of their natural flavor.) Drain and dry thoroughly with a cotton kitchen towel.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and hot pepper and sauté gently until the garlic softens but is not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, placing them opened flat on the bottom of the pan so they do not curl too much. Sauté, turning once, until they are opaque, about 2 minutes on each side. Add the wine, stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds to allow alcohol to evaporate. Remove and discard the whole peppers, if using. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

GAMBERI AL GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Parboil shrimp in a skillet.
• Saute the shrimp in olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes.; season with salt and pepper. (very lightly on the salt because the cheese is salty too).
• Place shrimp in an oven proof platter, cover with gorgonzola cubes.
• Bake in preheated oven at 350 for a few minutes, until cheese is melted.
• Transfer to serving platter, sprinkle with parsley and surround with croutons.
