Shrimp Escargo Recipes

Steps:

• Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
• Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Save the mushroom stems for another use. Either chop them or leave them whole and freeze until needed.
• 2. Place the mushrooms in a foil lined baking dish or baking pan if you're making a large batch.
• 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly sprinkle creole seasoning over shrimp and toss to coat. Set aside.
• 4. Heat the butter, sherry, garlic, and chives in a skillet over medium heat until the butter begins to bubble.
• 5. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until they just turn pink, about 3 minutes.
• 6. Place one shrimp in or on each mushroom cap, spoon the garlic-chive butter over the shrimp and into the mushroom caps; then sprinkle each with a pinch of mozzarella or your favorite cheese. Five Cheese Italian Blend, Havarti, Bleu, Parmigiana Reggiano, etc.
• 7. Bake in the preheated oven until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and french bread to mop up the extra yummy garlic butter!
• 8. Cook's Tips: If you want to make mini appetizers use smaller mushrooms and shrimp and place each one in a mini muffin pan to keep all that delicious garlic butter contained. If you want to get fancy, serve on a gently warmed deviled egg platter. Make sure it's oven safe - about 200 degrees is plenty warm enough. Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc., which is what I usually do. I've made as many as 75 for a catering party.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter over medium-low heat in a saucepan. Add snails, garlic, and parsley; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place 1 snail along with some sauce in each cup of an escargot pan. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt butter in saucepan over low heat and remove from heat.
• Crush garlic in press and add it to melted butter. Cook over medium heat, watching carefully not to let garlic burn, about 3-5 minutes, in a slow simmer. Stir in dried spices. Remove from heat.
• Add salt to taste.
• *If using as a sauce, use to coat and cook in broiler.
• If making bread, use immediately on bread cut on the diagonal into slices or on a bread cut in half lengthwise. Add some olive oil and wrap in foil. Bake at 350 degrees F. about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Now to cook up this buttery goodness: Melt your butter in a sauce pan. Add the garlic, parsley and escargot mix. Saute for a few minutes Add the shrimp. Saute until they are pink or warm the whole way through. (I use precooked shrimp. But if you aren't you'll want to wash them before you stick them in, and cook them till they are pink and puffy) Get out those escargot plates. Place one little guy in each hole, and add some of the butter/garlic/parsley mix to each. Cover with cheese. Stick in oven and broil until cheese is melted and a little crispy. Kinda like a good pizza. Serve, with some crusty bread, to your husband who will think you are some chef extraordinaire. (No need to tell him otherwise) I dip my bread in the butter once all the shrimps are annihilated. We like a cold glass of coke with this tasty treat but I think most people would enjoy a glass of wine.
