Roasted Seafood Recipes

GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

ROASTED SHRIMP

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Arrange shrimp in a single layer in a stoneware baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over shrimp.
• Combine garlic salt, parsley, and pepper and sprinkle over shrimp. Cut butter into small pieces and scatter over shrimp.
• Roast in the preheated oven, watching carefully, until shrimp turn pink, 5 to 10 minutes.

ONE-PAN SEAFOOD ROAST WITH SMOKY GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Use a large knife to hasselback the potatoes; cut incisions in each potato making sure you don't cut through to the base, and keep the cuts as close together as possible. Toss the potatoes in oil and some seasoning in your largest roasting tin (an oven tray is ideal - line with parchment first if it's old). Roast for 20 mins.
• Butterfly the prawns by cutting a line down the back of each one, through the shell from the base of the head to the top of the tail. Pull out the black line of intestine from each one. Clean the mussels under cold water, pulling off any hairy or stringy bits. Hasselback the squid in the same way you did the potatoes.
• Cut each corn cob into four pieces - the easiest way to do this is by positioning your knife, covering it with a tea towel and hitting it with a rolling pin. Add the corn to the tray, toss in the oil and return to the oven for 5 mins.
• Mash together the butter, parsley, paprika, garlic and lemon zest. Stuff some of the butter into the back of each prawn and inside the squids. Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Add the seafood, lemon wedges and chorizo to the pan and toss everything together. Dot the remaining butter over the top, season well and return to the oven for 10 mins. If any of the prawns haven't turned pink or any mussels haven't opened, move them around the pan to the hot spots, then return to the oven for another 2-3 mins. Remove and discard any mussels which haven't opened. Scatter some parsley over and serve.

PLATTER OF ROASTED SHELLFISH WITH TRIO OF SAUCES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush 2 large roasting pans with 1 tablespoon olive oil each. Mix shallots, minced parsley, and lemon peel in small bowl. Arrange lobster tails, cut side up, in 1 roasting pan; brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then 2 tablespoons shallot mixture. Roast until just opaque in center, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine shrimp, scallops, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons shallot mixture in medium bowl; sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss gently to coat. Arrange in single layer in second prepared roasting pan. Roast alongside lobster until shrimp and scallops are just opaque in center, about 5 minutes for shrimp and 7 minutes for scallops. Transfer lobster to large platter; cover with foil. Arrange crab legs in lobster roasting pan; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with remaining shallot mixture, then drizzle with 3 tablespoons water. Roast just until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Arrange shrimp, scallops, and crab legs on platter with lobster. Pour any pan drippings over shellfish. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs. Serve with Lemongrass and Cilantro Sauce; Saffron Mayonnaise; and Roasted Grape Tomato, Orange, and Basil Relish.

SEAFOOD PAN ROAST

• In a saute pan melt 4 oz. of the butter over medium heat.
• Add white wine, paprika, celery seed, clam juice, lemon juice, worcestershire, tabasco, cocktail sauce and salt & pepper.
• If using clams or mussels add them now and cook until they open.
• Add shrimp, scallops, lobster and/or crab meat and bring to a full boil.

ROASTED SEAFOOD-STUFFED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Cut pineapple in half lengthwise. Using a small paring knife, make a cut about 1/2-inch from the pineapple skin, all the way around the pineapple. Remove core and discard. Using a large spoon, remove the pineapple flesh from its skin, making sure to leave about 1/2-inch of flesh all around each pineapple half. Set pineapple shells aside and coarsely chop pineapple flesh.
• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chopped pineapple, bay leaves, sugar, chile powder, and 1/4 teaspoon pimiento arabe. Cook, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and set aside to cool. This can be made up to a day in advance; refrigerate until needed and discard bay leaves before using.
• Position rack in center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place adobo sauce in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, adding water if sauce seems too thick. Place fish and shrimp in a large bowl; season with 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pimienta arabe and toss to combine.
• Brush the inside of each pineapple shell with adobo sauce. Divide seafood mixture evenly between each pineapple shell; sprinkle with cilantro. Spread pineapple mixture over seafood, and pour over any remaining adobo sauce. Wrap crowns of pineapple with foil and transfer pineapples to prepared baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Tuck 4 clams into the stuffing of each pineapple; sprinkle cheese over each. Return pineapples to oven and continue baking until clams have opened, filling is bubbling, and cheese is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let stand several minutes before serving.
