Lemon Fried Shrimp With Marjoram Food

LEMON SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make the shrimp: In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper; add to the preheated pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
• Make the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, parmesan and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl to blend.
• Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, shrimp and the reserved cooking liquid, adding it 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with the salt and pepper; stir in the basil. Garnish with the fried capers and more parmesan, if desired.

MOROCCAN SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• For the quick preserved lemon: In a small saucepan, combine lemon, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until lemon is soft, approximately 15 minutes. Cool, then chop. Set aside
• For the shrimp: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, add the oil followed by onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Gently cook, stirring, until vegetables are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ras el hanout and salt and roast in the oven 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and fold in chopped preserved lemon.
• Arrange shrimp over the tomato mixture in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven until the shrimp are cooked through and are bright coral pink, about 2 minutes. Remove, top with chopped cilantro and serve.

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Add shrimp, garlic, and pepper flakes all at once and stir together. Add seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper and mix until combined.
• Cook and stir until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

SHRIMP BATHED IN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, preferably not too deep, so you can watch the shrimp as they cook. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into a baking or serving dish, preferably a white one to show off the colors of the finished dish.
• Working in a few batches to prevent overcooking, boil the shrimp over high until just firm and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, removing them to a colander with a slotted spoon. When all the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to the olive oil-lemon bath and gently mix to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. The shrimp should be just covered with liquid; pour in more oil as needed. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, spooning some liquid over each serving.

FLASH-FRIED PRAWNS WITH CHILLI, LEMON & PARSLEY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Season the prawns and set aside. Cook the garlic over medium-low heat until it just starts to colour. Increase heat to high and add the prawns and chilli. Stir quickly and keep turning prawns in the pan.
• After 1 min, pour in the lemon juice. Toss until prawns are opaque - about 1 min more. Sprinkle over lemon zest and parsley and serve with crusty bread.

EMERIL'S MARJORAM, THYME, ROSEMARY & LEMON GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Set a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Once the grill is hot, remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side and serve sprinkled with kosher salt and wedges of lemon.
