ALMOND ASPARAGUS SHRIMP ON STEAMED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil. Lay the prawns in the pan slowly without splashing them in the oil. Add the garlic, then saute until the aroma of the garlic permeates and the prawns turn pink. Turn the heat to medium and slowly add the chicken broth, sugar, salt, white pepper and mayonnaise. Mix and saute all the ingredients until the sugar is clearly melted and the sauce is evenly combined and starts to boil. Add the asparagus and sundried tomatoes at this time and saute for another 30 seconds (making sure the sundried tomato is evenly cooked). Then pour over a bed of cooked steamed rice. Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top, and then serve.

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta, and boil according to package directions until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Strain, and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large pie pan or paper plate, and pat them with a paper towel until completely dry. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until the underside is pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, and cook until fully pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the shrimp and cooked pasta, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots and cook, stirring until softened but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add shrimp, artichoke hearts, wine, and lemon juice and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates, garnish with additional parsley, and serve.

SHRIMP WITH ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• If the artichokes are small, trim the stem to within a half inch of the base and remove the tougher outer leaves. Cut each artichoke in eighths and place in a bowl. Toss with the lemon juice and cover with water. Set aside for 15 minutes. If you are using medium-size artichokes, trim the stem flush with the base and remove all the leaves. Using a sharp knife, cut away the center choke, leaving just the fleshy bottom or heart of the artichoke. Cut each in eighths and treat with the lemon as previously described.
• Drain the artichoke pieces.
• Heat half the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the artichokes, parsley and garlic, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring from time to time, about 20 minutes until the artichokes are lightly browned and tender when pierced with a sharp knife.
• When the artichokes are tender, remove them from the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper to taste and toss the shrimp in the flour to coat them lightly. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium.
• Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry a minute or two, until they turn pink. Pour in the wine. Cook, stirring, until the wine just films the bottom of the pan. Return the artichokes to the pan, stir, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
