SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Shrimp With Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Sun-dried tomatoes might scream 1980s nouveau cuisine to you, and that's a fair assessment considering their somewhat profligate use throughout the decade. Yet this dish may have you reconsidering their place in your pantry. Used sparingly, sun-dried tomatoes can impart a bold tomato-y taste that Mark Bittman argues is in some ways "better than 'real' tomato flavor." In this 20-minute sauté, the intense tang of capers and tomatoes plays beautifully off the mild sweetness of shrimp. Serve it over pasta or rice, or alone with a big hunk of good bread.

Categories     Fish

Yield 4-5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp (8 to 10 per pound), shelled and deveined, with tails left intact
2 tablespoons salt, plus more to taste
4 cups ice water
3 to 4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and patted dry
3 large cloves garlic
3 tightly packed tablespoons fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 tightly packed tablespoon fresh coriander leaves
1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large lime, cut into 8 wedges

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the 2 tablespoons salt and the ice water. Refrigerate 20 minutes, but no more. Meanwhile, mince together the tomatoes, garlic, parsley and coriander. Turn into a medium bowl and stir in the hot pepper and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. 2. Drain, rinse, and pat the shrimp dry. Toss them with the tomato mixture. Keep cold. 3. Cook the shrimp on a lightly oiled, medium-hot grill, sprinkling with salt and pepper, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and just firm. Alternatively, film a large skillet or griddle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium heat. Sauti the shrimp, sprinkling with salt and pepper, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and just firm. Pile all the seasonings atop the shrimp after you turn them. 4. Turn the shrimp onto a serving platter, along with the seasonings. Serve hot or warm, with the lime wedges. Squeeze a little lime over the shrimp just before eating.

GRILLED GARLIC SHRIMP



Grilled Garlic Shrimp image

These grilled shrimp receive a double dose of garlic flavor - fresh garlic and garlic salt. Try not to marinate longer than 30 minutes, as the acid from the lemon juice will start to break down the delicate shrimp meat and make it mushy. Extra large shrimp come 26 to 30 shrimp per pound.

Time 51m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
½ teaspoon garlic salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until marinade is smooth, about 20 seconds.
  • Pour marinade into a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag. Add shrimp to the bag and toss to coat with the marinade. Seal bag and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Soak wooden skewers in cold water while shrimp is marinating.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers, 5 to 6 shrimp per skewer. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
