Killer Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all spices, partially crush and grind using a mortar and pestle or heavy bottom pan - just to partially crush spices, they should still be recognizable.
• Mix all spices and remaining ingredients except shrimp in a large pot, simmer partially covered for a minimum of one to two hours.
• Add shrimp, cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until shrimp is just pink and starting to curl. Allow to sit in broth for a few minutes off the heat.
• Serve in bowls with a lot of broth and a plate full of crusty bread for dipping.

Steps:

• Whisk together the wine and the tomato paste in a medium saucepan until the tomato paste dissolves.
• Stir in the broth, fennel seeds, salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, bay leaf and thyme sprig; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until slightly reduced and very flavorful, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the broth mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a clean saucepan; discard the solids. Add the coconut milk, lemon zest and lemon juice to the broth mixture; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the shrimp and simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter, stirring until the butter melts. Serve the soup in shallow bowls and sprinkle with the parsley.

Steps:

• To make the butter, place the herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and whisk by hand until the ingredients are well incorporated.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor and add one-quarter of the butter cubes. Process on high speed, slowly adding the remaining butter cubes one at a time until you can no longer see white pieces of butter.
• To make the shrimp, use a paring knife to make a slit up the back of each shell to faciliate easy peeling and to let the flavor in. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place 8 tablespoons of the Cajun Butter in the hot skillet and allow to melt, being careful not to burn it. Toss in the shrimp and cook for 1 or 2 minutes. When they start to turn pink, turn them over and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes, being careful not to overcook. When almost fully cooked through, cover the shrimp with the ale and clam juice and reduce the heat to medium-low. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Divide into bowls and serve with the baguette.
• note
• The extra Cajun butter can be reserved in a sealed container for future use. The butter goes well with grilled fish or steak.
