Shrimp And Crab With Cocktail Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise.
• In the bottom of an approximately 12 inch round serving dish, spread the cream cheese mixture. Pour cocktail sauce evenly over the mixture. Layer with green bell pepper, green onions and tomato. Top with crabmeat and shrimp. Sprinkle with mozzarella.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Mix on medium speed using a hand mixer until blended. Fold in the crab and shrimp. Transfer to a shallow 2-cup baking dish. Top with Parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes or until top is lightly brown.
• To make the toasted bread slices, place bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil on both sides. Bake in oven for 8 minutes while dip is also baking. Serve crab and shrimp dip with toasted bread slices.

Steps:

• Heat a stovetop grill or charcoal barbecue to high (or use broiler if desired). Place tomatoes and chiles on grill and allow to char, turning to black on all sides, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature; do not peel. Chop tomatoes in quarters and place in jar of a blender. Cut stems off chiles, then cut them lengthwise. Remove seeds if desired. Add chiles to blender jar, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pimentón and 1 cup water. Blend to a rough purée, then pour into a bowl and let cool. You should have about 3 cups.
• Put the clams and 1 cup water in a wide skillet with lid. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Cover and let cook until all clams have opened, about 5 minutes. Transfer clams and cooking juices to a large bowl and let cool. Repeat process with mussels, adding another 1 cup water to pan. Transfer to another bowl (separate from clams).
• Put shrimp in the wide skillet and cover with well-salted water. Place pan over high heat and bring to a simmer, then cook 1 minute. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon and let cool. Add squid to the same pan with simmering water and let cook just until firm, about 30 seconds. Drain squid and let cool.
• Pluck clams and mussels from their shells, reserving clam juice. Peel and devein shrimp and cut in half lengthwise.
• Thin tomato sauce with 1/2 cup clam juice. (Save mussel juice for another use; refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze it.) Add lime juice and adjust seasoning. Ladle a little sauce into 4 wide glasses or bowls. Add clams, mussels, shrimp, squid and crab meat to each glass. Add chopped onion and scallion to each glass, then top with remaining sauce. Gently stir with a teaspoon to distribute ingredients. Chill well. Just before serving, garnish with sliced serrano chile and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or preheat broiler. If broiling, place chiles on a rimmed baking sheet. Grill, broil, or roast chiles directly over flame on stovetop, turning occasionally, until very tender and blackened all over, 10-12 minutes. Poblanos might take a little longer, so test doneness with a paring knife.
• Transfer chiles to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let steam 15 minutes. Peel chiles. Halve lengthwise, discard seeds, and chop into 1/4" pieces.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook shrimp until just opaque and pink, 2-3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice bath and let sit until cool, about 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Mix chiles, tomato, jalapeños, Clamato juice, ketchup, olives, cilantro, onion, oregano, garlic, lime juice, oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Carefully fold in shrimp, crab, and avocado.
• Transfer to a serving bowl or tall sundae glass and top with bay leaf, if using. Serve with tortilla chips alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Salsa base (without seafood and avocado) can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to a resealable container and chill.

• Salsa Rosada: In a separate bowl put mayonnaise, ketchup and Worcestershire saucet. Stir everything well.

• In 12 small bowls place a layer of lettuce at the bottom, then avocado and one of the shrimp mixture. Garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine shrimp, avocados, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, jalapeños and lime juice in a bowl and mix gently.
• Stir in seafood sauce, ketchup and salt.
• Chill, covered, until serving time.
• Garnish with a whole jalapeño.
• Note- if you like it hotter, leave the seeds in the jalapenos.

Steps:

• Purée the sauce ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into a medium bowl.
• Add the pico de gallo ingredients to the sauce. Delicately fold in the avocado, chilies, shrimp and crabmeat. Spoon into ice-cream-sundae or martini glasses and serve with warm homemade tortilla chips. Garnish each dish with a fresh bay leaf and finely chopped fresh jalapeños on the side.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add shrimp and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Combine celery, mayonnaise, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon red onion, dill, remaining 4 teaspoons lemon juice, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Dice shrimp and crab. Add to the mayonnaise mixture and gently stir to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Mix first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix in chilies. Taste, adding more if spicier flavor is desired.
• Fill large bowls with ice. Arrange shrimp atop ice. Sprinkle cilantro over salsa.
• Note: If you are planning on using this as a base, like in my Seafood Supreme, drain off some of the liquid from the salsa and chili sauce, so that it does not slide off the plate.
