Garlicky Buffalo Shrimp Recipes

GARLICKY SHRIMP IN CRISPY TORTILLA CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Warm each tortilla on both sides in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side. Spray the tortillas with cooking spray. Make a single tear from the edge to the center (like a bicycle spoke) in each tortilla. Nestle the tortillas into muffin cups, overlapping the torn edges so the tortillas fit into the cups.
• Bake until the edges are crisp and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Carefully lift out the tortilla cups and invert them so they are resting, bottom up, on the muffin pan. Continue to bake until the bottoms are crisp, about 8 minutes more.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions, bell peppers and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and add the shrimp and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
• Spoon the shrimp mixture into the tortilla cups and serve.

BUFFALO GRILLED SHRIMP WITH GOAT CHEESE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and shallots and saute for about two minutes. Add the cumin and smoked paprika and continue to cook, stirring, for one minute more. Add the cream and salt, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Whisk in the goat cheese, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes before stirring in the chives and parsley.
• For the shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the 1/4 cup hot sauce and the olive oil, lemon zest and garlic. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque at the center. Remove to a clean bowl and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce. Serve with the goat cheese dipping sauce.

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the shrimp and garlic in butter for 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Add the lemon juice; heat through. Serve with rice.

CHILE-GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Rinse the shrimp with cold water and pat dry with paper towls. Add the shrimp and seasoning mix to a plastic bag and shake to coat.
• Heat the butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted. Raise the heat to medium-high; when the butter begins to pop and sizzle add the shrimp to the pan. Cook and stir the shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Garnish with lime wedges and serve hot.

GARLICKY DOUSED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring 3 quarts of water and a pinch of salt to a boil over high heat in the saucepan. Add the shrimp, lower the heat to medium, and simmer uncovered for 1 minute. Drain the shrimp and cool them to room temperature.
• Combine the tomato, bell pepper, shallot, garlic, chopped basil, lemon juice, oil, salt, and black pepper in the bowl with a metal spoon. Add the cooled shrimp, toss well, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours. (As the shrimp marinate, they get more garlicky.)
• Drain the shrimp, reseason with additional salt and black pepper, and arrange them in a flat basket or on a black rectangular or round serving tray. Place the whole basil leaves in the center of the platter and serve with Ginger Yogurt Dip.
• Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, and garlic in the bowl. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth.
