Shrimp Cakes With Zucchini Pasta Recipes

ZUCCHINI AND SHRIMP FRITTERS

Steps:

• Season the shrimp lightly with the Essence and set aside.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large pot or deep-fryer, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, make the batter by whisking the eggs, milk, baking powder, salt, and cayenne. Add the flour 1/4 cup at a time, beating and incorporating until all is used and the batter is smooth. Stir in the parsley. Add the shrimp mixture and grated zucchini to the batter and fold to mix.
• Using a small ice cream scoop measuring 1 1/2 tablespoons, drop the batter into the hot oil. When the fritters pop to the surface, roll them around with a slotted spoon in the oil to brown them evenly and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with additional Essence.
• Serve hot.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

SHRIMP AND ZUCCHINI PASTA

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, peel zucchini lengthwise to create noodle-like ribbons. Alternatively, use a mandolin with a julienne plate, a julienne peeler or a vegetable spiralizer to make the "noodles."
• Place zucchini in a mesh strainer over a bowl or the sink. Sprinkle with sea salt, and toss with tongs (or use freshly washed hands) to make sure the salt covers the zucchini. Let zucchini sit for 20-25 minutes, occasionally tossing. Drain and discard any excess liquid.
• When "noodles" are drained, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and wait 15 seconds.
• Add mushrooms and garlic to the hot pan and saute, stirring frequently for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened.
• Meanwhile, toss shrimp with cayenne pepper (if desired). Add to the mushroom mixture in the hot pan, along with cherry tomatoes. Saute, stirring frequently for 1 to 2 minutes, or until shrimp are bright pink.
• Add zucchini and lemon juice and stir just to heat through. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Season with additional sea salt (if desired) and freshly ground black pepper.

TAGLIATELLE WITH ZUCCHINI AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat shrimp dry and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté shrimp, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté zucchini, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, until zucchini is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Cook pasta while zucchini is sautéing:
• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well in a colander and add to zucchini along with shrimp, zest, and basil. Cook over moderately high heat, tossing, until shrimp are heated through, about 1 minute.

LEMON ZUCCHINI SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; cook until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl.
• Cut zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade. Chop up into slightly shorter pieces.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook and stir until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add lemon zest, spinach, and chicken broth. Cook until liquid reduces by 1/4, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and capers. Cook until shrimp is warmed through, about 1 minute more. Drizzle the remaining olive oil on top.

PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI, SHRIMP AND SAFFRON

Steps:

• Place the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Working in batches, brown the zucchini rounds in the hot oil until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scoop the rounds out of the pan with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Repeat until all the zucchini is cooked.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Meanwhile, combine the stock and saffron in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil. Set aside.
• Place the skillet in which the zucchini has cooked back over high heat. If there is less than 1 tablespoon of oil remaining in the pan, add a bit more. When the oil is very hot, add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until they are just cooked, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and garlic and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add the stock, basil and butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Drain the pasta and immediately add it to the pan with the sauce. Toss quickly over low heat until combined. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan on the side.
