SHRIMP OREGANATA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Pat dry and set aside. In a mixing bowl combine the breadcrumbs, pecorino cheese, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, parsley and olive oil. Whisk with a fork until the mixture looks like wet sand. Taste for seasoning and season with salt and pepper as desired. Set aside. Drizzle enough extra virgin olive oil to coat the bottom of a roasting pan. Add the wine to the bottom of the pan as well. Add the shrimp and arrange in a single layer. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture over each shrimp and drizzle the top with extra virgin olive oil. Bake until the shrimp are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Broil on height for 2-3 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

BAKED CLAMS OREGANATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the clams on a sheet tray and put them in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until the clams just begin to open. We don't want to cook the clams, we just want them to open a little.
• Using a butter knife pry the clams open and remove the top shell and discard. Completely pull the clam away from the bottom shell and place it back in the bottom shell. This will allow for easy eating.
• Preheat the broiler and adjust the rack to the top shelf.
• In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, crushed red pepper and some salt. Add the olive oil and stir until well combined. Add chicken stock until the mixture is quite wet. Taste to check the seasoning, add more salt if needed.
• Pack each clam full of the bread crumb mixture. Pack the bread crumbs down and really secure the edges. This will help the clam stay moist.
• Place the clams on a sheet tray and add about 1/2 cup of water to the tray. This will also help the clams stay moist. Put the tray under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes or until the bread crumbs are nice and brown and crispy.

CLAMS OREGANATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil.
• In a large bowl gently toss bread crumbs, herbs, olive oil, salt and pepper. Be careful not to overwork the mixture. Set aside.
• Line a baking sheet with salt and arrange 12 clam shells. Put 1 clam in each shell and top with 2 tablespoons of the bread crumb mixture. Drizzle with olive oil. Broil 2 to 3 minutes.

SHRIMP OREGANATA

Steps:

• 1. Start by cleaning shrimp if they are not already cleaned (de-vaining, removing tails).
• 2. Brown garlic in the olive oil.
• 3. Line the bottom of a baking sheet with breadcrumbs.
• 4. Put down a layer of shrimp, covering the the bread crumbs. The shrimp don't need to be perfectly lined up, but there should be more shrimp than breadcrumbs.
• 5. Liberally apply breadcrumbs to the top of shrimp so that they are fully submerged. You shouldn't have too much excess, but enough that the shrimp are barely visible.
• 6. Spoon browned garlic and oil over the top breadcrumb layer. The crumbs don't need to be soaking, but the oil should be evenly spread over the shrimp and crumbs.
• 7. Repeat by layering more shrimp, more breadcrumbs, and more oil.
• 8. Place think slices of mozarella over the top layer, and place into an oven preheated to 350.
• 9. Bake until cheese is fully melted and amber in color.

BAKED CLAMS OREGANATA

Steps:

• Let the oil and garlic steep in a small bowl 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 475° F. Shuck the clams as described on page 7, reserving the clam juice. Strain the juice through cheesecloth or a very fine sieve into a 13 × 11-inch baking dish. Add the white wine, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the parsley, the butter, and half of the crushed red pepper.
• In a deep bowl, toss the bread crumbs, grated cheese, tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of the garlic-infused oil, the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped parsley, the oregano, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper until thoroughly blended.
• Top each clam with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the bread-crumb topping, packing it down tight. Set clams in the prepared baking pan and drizzle the remaining infused oil over them. Bake until the pan juices are bubbling and the bread crumbs are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the clams to a warm platter or divide among serving plates.
• To keep the bread-crumb topping crunchy, spoon the sauce from the baking dish onto the plates-not over the clams. Serve immediately, garnished with the lemon slices.
