Awesome Shrimp In A Tomato Fumet Food

AWESOME SHRIMP IN A TOMATO FUMET

Steps:

• 1. Gather your ingredients.
• 2. Peel and devein the shrimp, and reserve the shells.
• 3. Add the peeled shrimp to a bowl, and add the salt.
• 4. Mix, cover, and reserve.
• 5. Chef's Note: Place the shrimp in the fridge until ready for use.
• 6. Shrimp are sold by size and the standard quantitative unit in the United States is count per pound. For instance "16/20" denotes 16-20 shrimp per pound. This method is valid for fresh or frozen in the shell without the head on. The "U" designation stands for "under", meaning less-than the count per pound. For instance, "U/10" means that the shrimp are large enough that less than 10 make up 1 pound. To help determine the size, a trade designation such as Jumbo or Medium, may accompany the count per pound on retail packaging.
• 7. Use a strainer to separate the whole tomatoes from the juice.
• 8. Chef's Note: Puncture the tomatoes with a fork to extract as much juice as possible.

• 30. Serve while still nice and warm. Enjoy.

SHRIMP WITH BASIL, GARLIC, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
• Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

SKILLET SHRIMP AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoons oil over high heat; swirl to coat pan.
• Season shrimp with salt and pepper.
• Add half the shrimp to the pan; cook 3-4 minutes until opaque throughout.
• Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and shrimp.
• Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and red pepper flakes; stir in tomatoes; cook 4-6 minutes until they begin to break down.
• Season with salt.
• Return shrimp and any accumulate juices to the pan. Add parsley and lemon juice and toss to coat.

QUICK SAUTEED SHRIMP IN TOMATO GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, scallions, garlic, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until the greens of the scallions are wilted and darkened with the oil and the garlic is tender and slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and cook while stirring until the tomatoes are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the clam juice and lemon juice, bring to a light simmer and stir. Taste, and if the tomatoes and lemon juice are too tart, add sugar and stir.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook on 1 side until the shrimp begins to turn opaque and curl slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Then toss and cook until they just begin to turn pink on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. (Shrimp cooks fast and there's a thin line between done and overdone; the best rule is to remove the pan from the heat as they begin to reach the finish line. Continue tossing and the heat of the pan will continue to cook them until done.) Serve warm or chilled.

SHRIMP, TOMATO, AND BASIL PASTA

Steps:

• Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 4 teaspoons oil over high. Add shrimp; cook until opaque throughout, turning occasionally, 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.

Add canned tomatoes and their juice, along with 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have softened and are saucy, about 15 minutes. Remove sauce from heat; stir in cherry tomatoes.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain; return pasta to pot. Add tomato sauce, shrimp, and basil; season with salt and pepper, and toss. Serve immediately, garnished with basil leaves, if desired.
