Caribbean Shrimp Spread Food

CARIBBEAN SHRIMP

Steps:

• In large glass or plastic bowl, mix all ingredients except oil. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 4 hours.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Arrange shrimp in single layer in pan.
• Bake uncovered 7 to 8 minutes or until shrimp are pink and firm. Drizzle with oil. Serve hot.

CARIBBEAN HOLIDAY SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine oil, ginger, lime juice, garlic, soy sauce, sugar and red pepper; mix well. Stir in shrimp and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours before serving. Stir occasionally while chilling.

CARIBBEAN JERK SHRIMP

Steps:

• I use 1 pound jumbo shrimp, precooked frozen, peeled and deveined, tails can be either on or off.
• The most important thing to remember with this recipe is to completely thaw the precooked, frozen shrimp in a colander. When most of the water drains off, pat dry the shrimp as much as possible with paper towels. (Or start with fresh, peeled, deveined shrimp, precooked. A lot of grocers will steam them at no extra charge.).
• Turn your burner on medium high (almost high) and set your large non stick skillet or wok over the burner. When skillet begins to get really hot, but NOT smoking, quickly add the melted butter and shrimp.
• Sprinkle on the Caribbean Jerk Seasoning to taste. It's hot and spicy so be careful if you don't like the heat.
• Keep the shrimp moving in the pan, glazing the shrimp with the hot butter and spices.
• Cook just until hot and slightly browned. (only about 3 minutes or even less depending on the heat of your skillet).
• You can also make these in the broiler or on the grill after tossing the shrimp in melted butter, sprinkling on Caribbean Jerk Seasoning and spreading them on a broiler pan or open grill. Broil for only 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely.

CARIBBEAN PASTA WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine garlic, shallots, ginger and oil. In another small bowl, combine green pepper, tomato, curry powder, allspice, chicken stock, Grand Marnier, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and chile paste. Cover and refrigerate both until ready to use.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Heat a large saute pan over high. When hot, add garlic-oil mixture. Saute until garlic begins to sizzle but has not browned. Stir the tomato mixture, then pour into the saute pan. Bring to a rapid boil and cook until it begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the shrimp, and toss until they become pink, about 2 minutes. Immediately add the pasta. Stir and toss until well combined and pasta is heated through. Taste and adjust seasonings, especially salt.
• Transfer to a heated platter and sprinkle on the cilantro. Serve at once.

CREAMY SHRIMP SPREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, ketchup, mayonnaise, onion, mustard and garlic salt. Stir in the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with baguette slices.

CARIBBEAN SHRIMP AND MANGO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Slice the shrimp in half, lengthwise. Heat the oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes, and season them with salt and pepper.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch round. Place the crust onto a parchment line baking sheet. Spread the sauce onto the pizza, leaving the edges clean for a crust to form. Put half of the cheese on top and spread the shrimp evenly over the pizza. Then add the mango slices, red onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper evenly on the top. Sprinkle the pizza with the red pepper flakes and top with the remaining cheese. Bake the pizza for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly brown. Serve immediately with more red pepper flakes sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• Place half of the mayo and red pepper in blender container; cover. Blend until smooth. Pour into small ramekin. Refrigerate. Place remaining mayo and papaya in blender container; cover. Blend until smooth. Pour into another small ramekin. Refrigerate.
• Mix flour, allspice and coconut in shallow pan. Beat egg and water in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Dip shrimp into egg mixture; shake off excess. Coat with flour mixture.
• Heat oil to 350°F in medium saucepan. Cook shrimp in hot oil 2 min. or until golden brown. Remove from oil; drain.
• Divide shrimp between 4 plates. Spoon 1 Tbsp. papaya mayo on plate. Slightly overlap 1 Tbsp. red pepper mayo on papaya mayo. Serve immediately.
