Garlic Custard With Shrimp And Tomato Broth Recipes

Steps:

• For the shrimp stock: Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells. Put the shrimp in a bowl over ice, cover and refrigerate.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the celery, garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the shrimp shells and cook until light pink, 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Simmer until only a few tablespoons remain in the pan, about 3 minutes. Add the peppercorns, bay leaves, thyme, parsley and 3 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and simmer over medium-low heat until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt.
• Strain the stock, pressing on the solids to extract any liquid. You should have about 2 cups. Set aside.
• For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the paprika and garlic and cook, stirring, until the butter is fragrant and vibrant red, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the cream and reduce to a simmer. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until firm and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the pasta and Parmesan and toss until well coated (see Cook's Note). Season with salt and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
• Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente; drain and return to the pot.
• Meanwhile, core, halve and seed the tomatoes. Blend the tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, the garlic, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor to make a chunky sauce. Add to the pasta and toss to combine.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet, then add the shrimp in a single layer; cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pasta, tossing to combine.
• Divide the pasta and shrimp among bowls. Drizzle with olive oil.

Steps:

• Strain the tomato juice through a sieve lined with a paper towel, stirring occasionally. This will take about 1 1/2 hours.
• Place the milk and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to the simmering point and remove from heat. Let stand until cool.
• Meanwhile, place the tomato juice in a nonreactive saucepan and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat, add the shrimp and cook until done, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spray 4 half-cup ramekins with the olive oil. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Strain through a fine sieve and divide among the ramekins. Bring water in a steamer to a boil and adjust to a low simmer. Place the ramekins in the steamer, cover and steam until set, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Rewarm the tomato broth.
• Unmold the custards into the center of 4 shallow soup bowls. Ladle some of the tomato broth around each custard, dividing the shrimp evenly among the bowls. Place the peppers around the custards and sprinkle the top with chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degree F.
• Brush a whole garlic head with olive oil. Wrap it in foil and bake for 2 hours. Let garlic cool enough to handle, then cut off the top of the garlic head and squeeze the soft cloves out onto a cutting board. Using the side of a broad knife, mash the cloves slightly. (This may be done up to a week in advance. Refrigerate roasted garlic.)
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Butter 8 (4-ounce) ramekins. Blend the custard ingredients together thoroughly. Pour into the ramekins and place them in a baking pan. Place the pan in the oven and carefully add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, but you may leave the custards in the water bath to keep warm for up to 20 minutes. You may wish to prepare the Salsa Fresca and the Vinaigrette while the custards bake, and the Herbed Hazelnuts while the custards stay warm after baking.
• To serve, turn the custards out of their ramekins onto plates. Spoon warm Vinaigrette over each one and sprinkle with warm Herbed Hazelnuts.
• Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small saucepan and heat gently. Set aside to keep warm.
• Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the hazelnuts with their seasonings until the nuts are well coated. Chop coarsely.
• Mix all the ingredients together. For best results, let salsa stand at least half an hour before serving or incorporating into recipe. Use within 24 hours. (The Vinaigrette calls for 1 cup. Enjoy the remaining 2 cups in Tortilla Soup or just with chips.)

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, scallions, garlic, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until the greens of the scallions are wilted and darkened with the oil and the garlic is tender and slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and cook while stirring until the tomatoes are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the clam juice and lemon juice, bring to a light simmer and stir. Taste, and if the tomatoes and lemon juice are too tart, add sugar and stir.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook on 1 side until the shrimp begins to turn opaque and curl slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Then toss and cook until they just begin to turn pink on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. (Shrimp cooks fast and there's a thin line between done and overdone; the best rule is to remove the pan from the heat as they begin to reach the finish line. Continue tossing and the heat of the pan will continue to cook them until done.) Serve warm or chilled.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp shells and heads, onion, garlic, celery, carrot, chile, and tomato paste; cook, stirring, until vegetables are golden. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer; simmer for 30 minutes.
• Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a medium saucepan; discard solids. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until reduced by half. Use immediately or cool and keep refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 3 days.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat; swirl to coat pan. Season shrimp with salt and ground pepper. Add half the shrimp to the pan; cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and shrimp.
• Reduce heat to medium; add garlic and red-pepper flakes. Stir in tomatoes; cook until they begin to break down, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt.
• Return shrimp and any accumulated juices to pan. Add parsley and lemon juice; toss to coat. Serve over pasta, rice, or spinach, if desired.

Steps:

• Cook fettuccine according to package directions., Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half., Add the shrimp, tomatoes, salt and pepper flakes. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Stir in basil. Drain pasta; toss with shrimp mixture.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until very tender and beginning to brown, stirring often, about 18 minutes. Add garlic and paprika; stir 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice and cook until very thick, stirring frequently, about 30 minutes. Stir in rosemary and crushed red pepper. Add wine and cook until liquid evaporates completely, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in clam juice, then 3 cups water. DO AHEAD: Broth can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and chill.
• Bring broth to boil. Add potatoes; simmer until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp; simmer until just cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
