Garlicky Prawns With Sherry Recipes

Steps:

• Light the barbecue. Meanwhile, put the butter, olive oil, garlic, chilli, paprika and sherry in a small pan set over a high heat. Season well and bubble for 2 mins.
• Put a square 45cm sheet of foil shiny-side down on a work surface. Lay an equal-sized sheet of baking parchment on top, then fold the foil and parchment in half together, with the foil on the outer side. Seal at the shorter sides by folding the edges over a few times and pressing them firmly. Spoon the prawns into the parcel through the open top and pour in the melted butter mixture. Fold the parcel edges together along the open top to seal it fully.
• When the coals of the barbecue are ashen, place the parcel directly on the grill and cook for 15 mins, carefully turning it once or twice. The prawns will be nearly ready when the parcel begins to puff up with steam. Remove the parcel from the barbecue, open it up carefully and tip the prawns and buttery juices into a serving bowl. Squeeze over one of the lemon halves and sprinkle with the parsley. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges. Serve the prawns with the lemon wedges for squeezing over and crusty bread on the side for mopping up the juices.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and paprika in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and the garlic has turned golden brown, increase heat to high and add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with sherry or lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook shrimp shells, stirring, 1 minute. Add water, onion halves, carrot, bay leaf, parsley, thyme, peppercorns, and salt and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes.
• Pour stock through a large sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into a large bowl, discarding solids. Return stock to cleaned pot. Add shrimp and cook over high heat (stock will be hot but not boiling), stirring frequently, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a large shallow baking pan, spreading in 1 layer to cool quickly. Boil stock until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 30 to 40 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.
• Stir together flour and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter until a paste forms, then set aside. Cook minced onion in 1 tablespoon butter in cleaned pot over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add Sherry and boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp stock and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and whisk in remaining 5 1/2 tablespoons butter until just incorporated. Whisk in flour paste, bit by bit, and simmer sauce, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, shrimp, and salt and pepper to taste and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until shrimp are just heated through, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Slice garlic thinly. Season shrimp with kosher salt and paprika. Mix to coat.
• Heat garlic and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until garlic starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and increase heat to high. Toss and turn shrimp with tongs until starting to curl but still undercooked, about 2 minutes. Pour in sherry. Cook, stirring continuously, until sauce comes up to a boil and shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley with a spoon.
