The Hurricane Port A Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• The shrimp can be prepared using an outdoor or indoor grill, grill pan or even an oven and baking sheet. All methods of preparations are essentially the same except for the oven.
• If using an oven there is no need to preheat; adjust the top rack to the highest position near the broiler, leaving enough room for a baking sheet and the shrimp. If using a grill or grill pan, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If an outdoor or open grill is being used, line the grill grates with aluminum foil and preheat to medium-high.
• Make the crust: Heat a saute pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking the meat into small pieces, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the shallots and the garlic and cook until the sausage is browned and excess oil has rendered, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
• In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning and lemon zest. Add the cooked sausage mixture (with drippings) to the breadcrumb mixture. Roughly combine to gauge moisture, then add up to 3/4 cup of the olive oil. Combine again, then add up to 1/2 cup of the white wine and combine well. If the mixture is still dry, a bit more of either can be added in small increments. The mixture should appear glossy and moist to the touch, but without excess liquid sitting at the bottom of the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• If using an oven, turn the broiler to high. Place the shrimp shell-sides down on a baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the shrimp under the broiler for about 2 minutes, just to begin the cooking process. Remove and check to see that that shrimp have begun to turn opaque. Scoop spoonfuls of the crust mixture onto the shrimp, pressing down with the back of a spoon or spatula to compress the crust topping (some will fall around the shrimp, which is fine).
• If you are using a grill, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the shrimp in a separate dish and lightly season with salt and pepper. Using tongs or carefully using your hands, place the shrimp shell-side down on a preheated grill or grill pan or onto the aluminum foil on an open grill. After 3 to 5 minutes the shrimp should begin to curl at the tails, the shell should darken in color and the meat should begin to turn opaque. Proceed to scoop spoonfuls of the crust mixture onto the shrimp, pressing down with the back of a spoon or spatula to compress the crust topping (some will fall around the shrimp which is fine).
• For either method, after applying the crust, cook until the crust is golden brown and the shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. The shrimp will cook quickly; make sure not to overcook. Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate or serving dish, covering with foil if the sauce is not yet ready.
• To make the sauce, heat a medium saute pan or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and add 1/2 cup of white wine. Cook until reduced, 4 to 5 minutes, then add the parsley and the remaining tablespoon of shallots and continue to cook another minute or two. Remove from the heat and add the butter, one tablespoon at a time, stirring continuously. Once the butter is incorporated, add the chives or chervil and let steep about a minute before spooning the mixture over the crusted rock shrimp. Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Peel the shrimp, leaving only their tails attached. Reserved the shells, sprinkle the shrimp with 1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning and 8 turns of the pepper. Use you hands to coat the shrimp with the seasonings. Refrigerate the shrimp while you make the sauce base and biscuits. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the reserved shrimp shells, the remaining Creole Seasoning, the bay leaves, lemons, water, Worcestershire, wine, salt, and the remaining 8 turns black pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, allow to cool for about 15 minutes, and strain into a small saucepan. There should be about 1 1/2 cups. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, and cook until thick, syrupy, and dark brown, for about 15 minutes. Makes about 4 to 5 tablespoons of barbecue sauce base. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the seasoned shrimp and saute them, occasionally shaking the skillet, for 2 minutes. Add the cream and all of the barbecue base. Stir and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a warm platter with tongs and whisk the butter into the sauce. Remove from the heat. Makes about 2 cups. Mound the shrimp in the center of a platter. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and around the plate. Arrange the biscuits around the shrimp. Garnish with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Season the shrimp lightly with the Essence and set aside.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large pot or deep-fryer, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, make the batter by whisking the eggs, milk, baking powder, salt, and cayenne. Add the flour 1/4 cup at a time, beating and incorporating until all is used and the batter is smooth. Stir in the parsley. Add the shrimp mixture and grated zucchini to the batter and fold to mix.
• Using a small ice cream scoop measuring 1 1/2 tablespoons, drop the batter into the hot oil. When the fritters pop to the surface, roll them around with a slotted spoon in the oil to brown them evenly and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with additional Essence.
• Serve hot.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:

• In a heavy, deep pot or an electric deep-fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F. Add the potatoes, in batches, and fry until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• In a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the slat and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Season the shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the cayenne and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the ham, green peas, garlic, and the potatoes. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the butter and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• To serve, divide the mixture into 4 equal portions on serving plates and drizzle with the hollandaise.
• In a stainless steel bowl set over a pot of simmering water (be careful not to let the bottom of the bowl touch the water), whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice, hot sauce, and water until pale yellow in color. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the bowl from the pot and, whisking vigorously, add the melted butter 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until all the butter is incorporated. Keep warm until needed.

Steps:

• Combine coconut milk, lime juice, garlic, chili flakes, cumin, coriander and pepper in a small bowl.
• Add shrimp and toss. Marinate for 1 hour or more under refrigeration.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Unroll the kataifi and separate a small bundle of strands about 1.5 inches wide. Using scissors, cut Kataifi strands to about 8 inches long.
• For each shrimp, spread a Kataifi bundle on your work surface and wrap it around each marinated shrimp, leaving the tail uncovered. Wrap freeform or tightly compress for a more compact look.
• His recipe calls for deep frying at 350F for 2 minutes each until brown and crispy, then draining on a paper towel.
• I prefer to bake at 400F for 8-10 minutes or until the Kataifi is crisp and golden. A little less for smaller shrimp.
• Serve with Recipe # 481797 as a dipping sauce.
