Aunt Barbras Firecracker Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in dutch oven over medium heat.
• Saute onion, celery, green onion and garlic in skillet until transparent.
• Add shrimp, saute 4 or 5 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients and simmer about 15 minutes.
• Serve over hot angel hair pasta.
• The prep/cook time is a rough estimate and will vary on your shrimp and how much cleaning/thawing is required. Also not included is the angel hair pasta.

Steps:

• Whisk together the brown sugar, orange juice, hot sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Dry the shrimp well with paper towels and add to a large bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the shrimp and toss to coat.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil until pink, about 1 minute per side. Add the ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sauce mixture, rice and scallions and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
• Top with more red pepper flakes, a drizzle of sriracha and cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Peel shrimp, leaving head and tail on. Place barbecue sauce in skillet and set on medium heat. Place shrimp in skillet and cook until they turn pink, approximately 2 minutes on 1 side, and 1 1/2 minutes on the other side. Remove shrimp from skillet and place on plate, pouring any extra sauce from the skillet on top of the shrimp. Drizzle a small amount of horseradish sauce on top of the shrimp and serve.
• Place onions in a food processor with the motor running and then add 1/2 cup of orange juice. In a large pot, melt butter on medium heat and add the onion puree. Add the 1 1/2 cups of orange juice and the rest of the ingredients. Stir and cook on low heat for approximately 25 minutes.
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
