Shrimp My Way Food

SHRIMP SCAMPI (MY WAY)

Steps:

• Start pasta water.
• In a large sauté pan melt butter & olive oil (low - medium heat).
• Start by adding the onions when they have some color (5 minutes or so).
• By this time the water should be almost ready.
• Add garlic and red pepper flakes to the onion, sauté for about a minute or 2. Stir not to burn. (burnt garlic YUCK must start over if you do this).
• Add pasta to the water and salt as you would.
• To the sauté pan add shrimp(if using clams and mussels you need to hold tight for a few).
• Cook the shrimp for about 3 minutes.
• Flip the shrimp.
• Keep an eye on the pasta cook till a'dente (don't forget to save some water).
• Add the lemon rind, juice and wine.
• Cook about 4 more minutes or until done.
• Add pasta water to thin sauce to how thin you like.
• Dump drained pasta in a big bowl (this is for the shrimp and the clams or mussels).
• When the shrimp is done, dump all over the pasta.
• Serve YUMMMY.
• O.K. now if you are using the clams and mussels don't add the shrimp. Just skip the whole shrimp thing. After the garlic softens add the lemon rind and lemon juice and wine and pasta water, bring to a boil. Add the clams and or mussels, cover and steam till they open. Throw any unopened ones. Dump all over pasta.
• Enjoy!
• 2 for the price of 1 not bad, LOL.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL MY WAY PLEASE :D

Steps:

• 1. Put your shrimp in a 9x13 baking dish or any dish that the shrimp can lay flat on. Add your imitation crab meat, when doing so pull your crab meant in shreds so its not in bulk.Squeeze all your limes in the dish with the shrimp and imitation crab meat. Add some salt and pepper.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL ~ MY WAY!

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot with water, mix the lemon juice, Old Bay Seasoning, ground black pepper, smashed garlic, bay leaf, and quartered onion. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes or so.
• 2. While the seasoned water is simmering, prepare the shrimp. Peel, devein, and I prefer the tails removed. (seems to me, people always leave that last little bit of meat in the tail when eating, it gets wasted)
• 3. Bring the seasoned water to a rapid boil. Add the shrimp, and cook for about 3 minutes. They will be nice and pink on the outside, and cooked through. DO NOT OVER COOK, the shrimp will be tough.
• 4. When cooking is complete, put the shrimp in a big bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Remove from the ice water, and chill until ready to serve.
• 5. Serve with your favorite cocktail sauce. Enjoy, this is a treat!
