Garlic Shrimp Tacos With Herbs Food

GARLIC SHRIMP TACOS (INSPIRED BY SURF TACO)

Steps:

• First, marinate the shrimp. Place peeled, cleaned, defrosted shrimp in a medium bowl and toss together with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let sit while you prepare the other elements of the tacos.
• Start the cabbage next so it has a chance to marry with the salt and lime juice before serving. Cut a small green cabbage in half from the top through the core, then cut one of the halves in half again. Remove the core from one quarter and very thinly slice the cabbage. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and lime juice. Toss with your hands, rubbing a bit to help the salt and lime juice tenderize the cabbage.
• To make the cilantro sauce, mince the garlic and then use the side of a chef's knife to smash the salt and garlic together into a paste. In a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic-salt paste, and pepper. When well combined, gently stir in the chopped cilantro.
• To make the pico de gallo, stir together the tomatoes, red onion, salt, and olive oil in a small bowl.
• Heat the tablespoon of safflower oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until opaque, about one minute per side.
• Bring ingredients to the table and let everyone assemble their own tacos, or plate by filling each tortilla with some shrimp, cabbage, pico de gallo and a drizzle of cilantro sauce.

GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

• Rinse defrosted shrimp under cold water, drain, and pat dry.
• Combine shrimp, chili powder, garlic, paprika, cumin, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coriander, and orange zest in a bowl. Mix well.
• Heat olive oil in nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 4 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the shrimp.
• While shrimp cooks, prepare crema by whisking together sour cream, zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon cilantro, garlic powder, and 1 pinch each of salt and black pepper.
• Heat corn tortillas in either a pan or on a griddle over low heat, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Be careful not to let them burn. Set aside.
• Assemble tacos by spreading 1 teaspoon crema across each tortilla, adding 3 or 4 shrimp, 2 slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Serve with sliced limes to squeeze on top and extra crema on the side.
