Open Shrimp Ravioli With Lime Ginger Butter Recipes

Steps:

• For the pasta: Mound the flour on a work surface. Season with a pinch of salt. Make a deep well in the middle of the flour, about 6 inches in diameter. Combine the eggs, egg yolks, olive oil and a pinch of salt together in a mixing bowl and mix well. Slowly add the egg mixture to the well in the flour, using a fork to start grabbing bits of flour from the outside of the well to mix into the egg mixture in the middle. Keep incorporating the sides of the well into the center until a tacky dough ball is formed. Knead the dough ball by hand until all the flour has fully incorporated. Wrap the dough ball well and let rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• For the filling: Combine the shrimp, Calabrian chiles, bacon, lemon and pinch of salt in a food processor. Puree for 10 to 15 seconds, then scrape down the sides and add the basil. Puree briefly until combined.
• Using a pasta roller, roll out the dough into 2 sheets of pasta thin enough to where you can feel your fingers through them (usually a number 5 to 6 on the sheeter setting). Place one sheet of the pasta dough on a well-floured surface. If using a cutter to make ravioli shapes, gently mark on the pasta sheet to see where the filling should be piped. Brush the dough with water. Add dollops of filling spaced out evenly across the middle of the sheet, using the marks as a guide. Gently brush a little bit of water over the second sheet of pasta. Place the sheet, dampened-side down, over the one with the filling, gently lining up the edges. Using your fingers, press and seal around the filling, making the seal as airtight as possible. Use a ring cutter or knife to cut out ravioli. Use your fingers to gently seal the edges and remove any air pockets and transfer the ravioli to a baking sheet sprinkled with semolina.
• For the sauce: Put a bit of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and thyme leaves, then add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and burst, 7 to 10 minutes. Move the shallot mixture to one side of the pan, then remove the pan from the heat and deglaze with the vodka. Carefully ignite the vodka, slightly tipping the pan away from you. Once the flame subsides, return to the heat and cook at a simmer until the vodka has been reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, crushed Calabrian chiles, lemon juice and basil leaves and cook until the sauce is thickened and has reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and drop the fresh ravioli in. Cook just until it floats, about 1 1/2 minutes. Take the ravioli out of the pot with a skimmer or slotted spoon and place in the saute pan with a splash of pasta water. Toss the sauce and ravioli together over low heat.
• Using a large spoon, place the ravioli on plates and add more sauce over the top. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan.

Steps:

• Divide the shrimp between two 8- or 9-inch pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn the heat to high. When the foam subsides, invert a pie pan of shrimp over the skillet so they fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other pan of shrimp. Cook the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn off the heat. Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the ginger, lime juice and zest, mint, and basil to each pan, and shake to combine.
• Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of slated water to boil for won ton wrappers.
• In a small saucepan cook shallot and gingerroot in wine until wine is reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Remove pan from heat and whisk butter into sauce, 1 piece at a time, adding each new piece before previous one has melted completely. (Sauce should not become hot enough to liqueify.)
• Whisk in zest, juice, and salt and pepper to taste and keep sauce warm, covered.
• In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté shrimp, carrot, and scallions with salt and pepper to taste, stirring, about 2 minutes, or until shrimp is just cooked through and vegetables are tender. Keep shrimp mixture warm, covered.
• Add won tons to boiling water and cook, stirring gently, until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain won tons in a colander.
• Immediately spoon a scant tablespoon sauce on each of 2 plates. On each plate stack 1 won ton, one fourth of the shrimp mixture, and another scant tablespoon sauce. Stack on top the remaining ingredients in same manner, ending each stack with a won ton.
• Garnish each serving with some scallion green.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Melt butter in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Stir in ginger and cayenne. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and peel. Season ginger-lime butter to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place shrimp in bowl. Add ginger-lime butter; toss to coat. Transfer shrimp to small rimmed baking sheet. Broil until pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to plate; drizzle with pan juices. Sprinkle with onions. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp. Reserve the shells for shrimp broth.
• Chop the shrimp into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, salt and pepper, water chestnuts, ginger, olive oil, coriander, pepper flakes and soy sauce. Blend well and let sit for about 10 minutes.
• Lay one won-ton wrapper on a lightly floured dry surface. Brush it with some of the beaten egg. Place three-quarters of a teaspoon of the shrimp mixture on the center of the won ton. Top the won ton with another skin, pressing the edges firmly around the perimeter to seal thoroughly. Trim the won-ton skin edges with a cookie cutter to remove excess dough. Repeat the procedure with the rest of the ingredients. Cover the finished uncooked ravioli with a moistened towel to keep them from drying out.
• Poach the ravioli, five or six at a time, in simmering shrimp broth for about one minute or until they rise to the surface. Drain and place four to six ravioli on warm serving plates. Drizzle some beurre blanc over and serve immediately.
