Shrimp And Potato Chip Tortilla Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Toss the shrimp, snap peas, garlic, thyme and olive oil in a large bowl; set aside.
• Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water as needed. Stir in 1 tablespoon chives.
• While the potatoes are cooking, spread the shrimp and snap peas on a baking sheet. Broil until just cooked through and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Dot the shrimp and snap peas with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Toss until the butter melts and the mixture is well coated; season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes, shrimp, snap peas and any juices from the baking sheet among plates. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.

Steps:

• Position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat. Cook the bacon in a large (12-inch) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble the bacon when cool. Add the potato, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, paprika, and basil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potato is brown and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and milk with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste.
• Add the shrimp and bacon into the skillet and stir until the shrimp are pink, about 1 minute. Pull the skillet from the heat, pour the eggs over the potatoes and shrimp. Stir, just until the eggs begin to set and the potatoes and shrimp are evenly distributed in the skillet. Scatter the cheese over the eggs and top with the red pepper. Broil the tortilla until the eggs are set and the cheese begins to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve from the skillet. Alternatively, use a rubber spatula to loosen the eggs from the side of the skillet and invert onto a plate, invert the tortilla again, onto a serving platter or invert and slide tortilla onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve garnished with cheese and parsley.

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, jalapenos, green chiles, lime juice, cilantro and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Put 1 cup flour in a small shallow bowl; whisk the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Combine the ground tortilla chips and the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a third bowl.
• Season the shrimp with salt and the chile powder. Dredge the shrimp in the plain flour, dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then press into the tortilla chip?flour mixture until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate.
• Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches, add the shrimp and cook, turning, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel?lined plate to drain. Season with salt. Serve with the jalapeno mayonnaise, chipotle barbecue sauce and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs and 1 cup water in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly crush the potato chips into the egg mixture and let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chips are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the onion.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat. Add the egg mixture and cook until it begins to set, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are firm and the top is golden and slightly crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes, then slide onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flours and baking powder with salt and pepper. Add a little more than a cup of water and stir to combine; consistency should resemble pancake batter (if batter is too thick, add more water, a little at a time). Stir in the onions, chopped seafood and herbs.
• Put a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and film its bottom generously with olive oil. When oil is hot, pour in half the batter until it fills center of pan; spread gently with a spoon to form a large pancake.
• Cook about 3 minutes, or until pancake is set around edges; flip pancake and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, then flip it again and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until it is crisp on outside but still moist inside. Remove from pan and serve immediately, while remaining batter cooks.

Steps:

• Fill a skillet with enough salted water to reach 1/2 inch up the side and bring the water to a boil. Add the shrimp and simmer them, covered, shaking the skillet occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are pink and just firm. Transfer the shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water, discard the shells, and halve the shrimp lengthwise, deveining them. The shrimp may be prepared up to 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Peel and pit the avocados and in a bowl mash them with a fork. Add the salt, the cayenne, the lemon juice, and the tomatoes and combine the mixture well.
• Just before serving spread the tortilla chips with the avocado mixture, top the mixture with half a shrimp, and garnish each hors d'oeuvres with 1 of the parsley leaves if desired.
