Butter Poached Shrimp With Jasmine Rice And Avocado Corn Salsa Food

BUTTER POACHED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together shrimp, hot sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• In a large saucepan, bring 3 tablespoons water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in butter until smooth. Add zest, bay leaves, garlic, chives, red pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, stirring until combined. Add shrimp; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves before serving. Garnish with chives and red pepper, if desired.

OLIVE OIL POACHED SHRIMP WITH OLIVE TORTILLAS, CUMIN SCENTED BLACK BEANS AND TOMATILLO AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• For the shrimp: In a medium saucepot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until translucent. Then add the black peppercorns, lemon slices, thyme and the rest of the olive oil.
• Bring to a boil, and then take off the heat. Let stand for 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
• Return the oil to medium heat. Add the shrimp and poach until the shrimp is cooked, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oil to cool.
• For the salad: Combine the arugula, radishes, watercress and olives in a large bowl. Toss with the olive oil and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, place a warm Olive Tortilla on a plate and top with a tablespoon of the Cumin Scented Black Beans. Top with 3 pieces poached shrimp, then a small mound of the salad. Top with the Tomatillo Avocado Salsa and some cheese. Drizzle some Lime Sour Cream on top and garnish with cilantro sprigs and lime. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• In the bowl of a heavy duty mixer, place the flour, shortening, olives and salt. Beat with the paddle until crumbly, 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, gradually add the warm water and continue mixing until the dough is smooth, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet or board. Cover with a towel and let rest at room temperature at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Cut out six 12-inch squares of waxed or parchment paper for stacking the tortillas. On a lightly floured board, roll each ball into a 10-inch circle and transfer to a paper square. Stack on a baking sheet or platter and refrigerate until cooking time. Uncooked tortillas can be kept in the refrigerator, well wrapped with paper squares between the layers, up to 2 days.
• To cook, heat a dry griddle or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Carefully peel off the paper and cook the tortillas, one at a time, until puffy and slightly brown, 30 to 45 seconds per side. Set aside to cool slightly on a towel-lined platter.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic and onions and cook until translucent. Add the cumin and pepper flakes and cook for another minute. Add the beans, 1/4 cup water and season with salt and pepper. Stir together and cook over low heat for 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
• To finish, blend about 1/3 of the beans with a touch of water to make a thick paste. Stir this paste back into the whole beans. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro.
• Combine the tomatillos, avocados, scallions, jalapeno, cilantro, olive oil and lime juice and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the sour cream, lime zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

BUTTER POACHED SHRIMP WITH JASMINE RICE AND AVOCADO CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Set the oven to 400F. Peel shrimp if necessary. Place ear of corn in oven. Just on the rack is fine, but make sure none of the husk is hanging off. Slice potato into thin slices horizontally, like making potato chips. You'll need about 6. Heat grapeseed oil in pan, then place the potato slices in. Flip when browned, about 4 minutes. Cook 4 minutes on other side. Remove and place on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder to taste. Follow instructions on Minute Rice box for cooking rice. Cover the bottom of a 1-quart pan with water and heat it on the stove. When it starts to steam, begin whisking in the butter 1 tbsp. at a time. Then turn the heat down pretty much as low as it will go. Add the shrimp to the butter. They need to cook about 4-5 minutes on each side. Make sure you watch the liquid carefully. If it starts to bubble either turn down the heat, or remove the pan from the burner if the heat won't go any lower. Once the shrimp have cooked (you'll be able to tell because they'll be pink), take them out of the butter. Take corn out of oven. The husk should be browned from roasting. Remove the husk and cut the corn off the cob. Cut avocado into small cubes. Combine corn, avocado, olive oil, and 1 tbsp. lime juice and toss together. Add salt to taste. (This is how I like to plate it, but you can do whatever obviously) Place a cup of rice on a plate. A dry cup measure also works nicely for a mold. Add about 3-4 shrimp on top of the rice. Spoon some of the butter mixture on top of the shrimp. Place the potato chip on top of shrimp. Top the chip with the avocado corn salsa. This recipe is a lot more filling then it seems (lots of butter, yum). Hope you enjoy it!

PROSECCO BUTTER POACHED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Transfer the thawed shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate. Use paper towel to pat the shrimp as dry as possible. Set aside.
• Add the Prosecco to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the Prosecco to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced roughly by half, about 12-15 minutes.
• Reduce the heat under the Prosecco to medium-low, just enough for the Prosecco to maintain a gentle simmer. Whisking constantly, add a few tablespoons of the butter to the saucepan with the Prosecco. Once melted, continue to add butter to the saucepan, working a few tablespoons at a time. Be sure to whisk steadily throughout this process to help the butter emulsify with the reduced Prosecco & adjust heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Once all of the butter is incorporated, add in the aromatics - lemon juice, sliced lemon, crushed garlic, dried parsley, etc. Season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired. Simmer 2-3 minutes, whisking steadily, to bloom the aromatics. Taste & adjust seasoning as desired.
• Working in batches of 5-6 shrimp at a time, add the shrimp to the saucepan. All of the shrimp should be submerged in the Prosecco butter poaching liquid. Adjust heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook 2-3 minutes, just until the shrimp is bright pink with opaque flesh. Transfer the poached shrimp to a large plate or bowl & set aside. Repeat 2-3 times with remaining shrimp.
• Once all the shrimp are poached & cool enough to handle, peel them & serve immediately. You can enjoy this Prosecco butter poached shrimp appetizer-style with crusty bread, placing the shrimp in a shallow bowl & pouring some of the Prosecco butter poaching liquid over top. This Prosecco butter poached shrimp is also great as a special occasion main dish, served with some of its Prosecco butter poaching liquid over risotto, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
