Spicy Gazpacho With Shrimp And Mussels Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill, grill pan or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Pour the pico de gallo into a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the vegetable mix to blender and pulse until well chopped. Pour the mixture in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, stir and pour the gazpacho into 4 soup bowls.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and grill until warmed through, about 1 minute per side. Place the shrimp evenly over the gazpacho and add cilantro. Serve with fresh lime wedge.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the tomato and clam juice cocktail, shrimp, avocados, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Working in batches, pulse tomatoes and salt in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Transfer mixture to a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a stockpot. Let strain in refrigerator for at least 6 hours (or up to overnight).
• Bring shrimp shells and 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat, and let simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl; discard shells. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
• Extract remaining juice from tomatoes by gently squeezing cheesecloth, being careful not to extract solids. Add shrimp stock and vinegars to juice. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
• Bring Madeira and remaining cup water to a simmer in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, mussels, and garlic. Cover, and let simmer until shrimp have cooked through and mussels have opened, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp and mussels to a large bowl (discard any unopened mussels). Let cool, about 10 minutes. Divide chilled broth among 6 shallow bowls. Drizzle with oil, top with shrimp and mussels. Garnish with parsley, cucumber, and bell pepper just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, bay leaf, and crushed red pepper. Saute until the garlic is tender, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Simmer until the tomatoes begin to break down and the flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Stir in the clams. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the mussels. Cover and cook until the clams and mussels open, about 5 minutes longer.
• Using a tongs, transfer the opened shellfish to serving bowls (discard any shellfish that do not open). Add the shrimp and basil to the simmering tomato broth. Simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Divide the shrimp and tomato broth among the bowls. Serve with the warm bread.

Steps:

• 1. Cover cooked shrimp with lemon juice. Chill while the rest of the gazpacho is being prepared.
• 2. In a frying pan, over medium heat, lightly stir-fry red onion, celery, and peppers with 2 tsp of olive oil. Make sure veggies are only slightly softened, not over cooked!
• 3. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
• 4. Add stir-fried veggies to tomato-cucumber mixture. Then add shrimp and lemon juice to tomato-cucumber mixture. Stir all ingredients together well. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place 1 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup celery, 1/2 cup green onions and half of chilies in small bowl and reserve.
• Working in batches, coarsely puree remaining cucumber, celery, green onions, chilies and next 7 ingredients in blender. Pour into large bowl. Mix in reserved vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Chill at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.

Steps:

• In a large nonreactive bowl, mix first 6 ingredients. Gently stir in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Work the garlic and salt into a paste (best done in a wooden bowl or on a cutting board).
• Combine the garlic paste, bread, vinegar, oil, cumin and 1 cup of the tomato juice in a blender until smooth.
• In a large bowl, combine the blender mixture with the remaining tomato juice and the vegetables; chill the mixture for at least 3 hours. It can be thinned to desired consistency with ice cold water before serving.
• Cook shrimp until just opaque in boiling, salted water, then plunge into cold water. Add shrimp to individual bowls to serve along with a generous sprinking of mint.
