Buffalo Grilled Shrimp With Blue Cheese Dip And Celery Recipes

Steps:

• Place shrimp in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate.
• Combine next nine ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth.
• Cook mixture over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
• Pour into the resealable bag with shrimp and allow to marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes turning shrimp occasionally.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and reserve the marinade.
• Coat grill topper or basket (basket makes it much easier to turn shrimp) with non-stick spray.
• Grill for 3 minutes on high heat. Turn shrimp and baste with marinade. Cook an additional 3 minutes or until done.
• Serve with Bleu Cheese or Ranch dressing.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine first six ingredients to make blue cheese dip; cover and refrigerate.
• In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and cayenne pepper.
• Add shrimp, tossing to coat.
• In a large skillet, heat oil, butter and hot sauce.
• Add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle blue cheese dip with parsley; serve with shrimp.
• Serve with carrot and celery sticks on side if desired.

Steps:

• Combine the butter and the Tabasco sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook until the butter has melted. Stir, and let cool slightly. Then divide the butter mixture between two large mixing bowls.
• Place the shrimp in one bowl and coat them well with the butter mixture. Cover the bowl loosely and let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the blue cheese dipping sauce. Combine all sauce ingredients, except the cheese, in a bowl. Gently fold in the blue cheese, being careful not to break it up too much (or it will turn the sauce an unappetizing gray). Adjust the seasonings to taste. Refrigerate, covered, for as long as overnight.
• To cook the shrimp, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, lift the shrimp from the marinade and cook them, in batches, in the skillet until they are pink and opaque, 2 minutes per side. As they are cooked, transfer the shrimp to the second bowl and toss them well in that batch of butter-Tabasco mixture.
• Again using tongs, transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving bowl. Sprinkle them with coarse salt. Serve immediately, along with the celery, carrots, and scallions, and a bowl of Blue Cheese Sauce for dipping.
