Garlicky Roasted Shrimp With Parsley And Anise Recipes

Steps:

• Dissolve salt in 1 quart cold water in large container. Using kitchen shears or sharp paring knife, cut through shell of shrimp and devein but do not remove shell. Using paring knife, continue to cut shrimp ½ inch deep, taking care not to cut in half completely. Submerge shrimp in brine, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. 2. Adjust oven rack 4 inches from broiler element and heat broiler. Combine melted butter, oil, garlic, anise seeds, pepper flakes, and pepper in large bowl. Remove shrimp from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Add shrimp and parsley to butter mixture; toss well, making sure butter mixture gets into interior of shrimp. Arrange shrimp in single layer on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet. 3. Broil shrimp until opaque and shells are beginning to brown, 2 to 4 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through broiling. Flip shrimp and continue to broil until second side is opaque and shells are beginning to brown, 2 to 4 minutes longer, rotating sheet halfway through broiling. Transfer shrimp to serving platter and serve immediately, passing lemon wedges separately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

Steps:

• Season: 1 pound shrimp, with Salt Fresh-ground black pepper.
• Season the shrimp liberally because the seasoning needs to penetrate the shell. Peel and chop: 4 garlic cloves.
• Cover with a bit of olive oil to keep from oxidizing. Pick the leaves from: 6 parsley sprigs.
• Chop the leaves; you should have at least 3 tablespoons.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet. When hot, pour in: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
• Turn the heat up to high and add the seasoned shrimp. Cook, tossing the shrimp frequently, until the shells start to turn pink, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and toss in the chopped garlic and parsley. Toss the shrimp in the pan until well coated with the garlic and parsley. Serve immediately.
• Add 4 sliced scallions to the shrimp with the garlic and parsley.
• Add a large pinch of dried chile flakes.
• For the parsley, substitute chopped cilantro or a chiffonade of basil leaves.
• Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking.
