Shrimp Limoncello Recipes

Steps:

• In a saute pan, mix the oil, garlic, zest and herbs.
• Heat the pan to medium-high. Cook until the mixture becomes aromatic, (less than a minute).
• Add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp become pink, 3-4 minutes, tossing to blend the shrimp and herb mixture.
• Remove shrimp and set aside.
• Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and return to the stovetop.
• Add Limoncello to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until it is reduced in half.
• Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and cream.
• Pour over the shrimp.

Steps:

• Peel and de-vein shrimp. Dredge shrimp lightly in flour.
• Place shrimp in medium to hot saucepan with olive oil; sauté lightly, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Remove shrimp from pan, also empty oil, but do not wipe out pan.
• Add garlic and shallots to pan; sauté on medium heat until light golden.
• Pour in Caravella Limoncello and consumme and stir. Stir in tomato paste. Raise heat and bring ingredients to a boil.
• Add shrimp and butter (latter cut into pieces). Let sauce reduce and thicken until it is the consistency of heavy cream, but do not overcook shrimp; may need to remove shrimp before sauce is finished cooking.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with fettuccine or risotto and sautéed spinach.

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.
• Stir the water and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Pour the sugar syrup over the vodka mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Zest lemons, making sure to get the outermost part of the skin and avoid the white pith.
• Place lemon zest in a glass bowl and cover with alcohol. Cover and let infuse at room temperature until yellowish in color, about 7 days.
• Bring water and sugar to the boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove syrup from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.
• Pour alcohol into the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer; discard lemon zest. Stir well.
• Pour limoncello into thick, freezer-safe glass bottles. Store in the freezer for at least 2 weeks before serving.

Steps:

• Remove heads of shrimp and peel away body shell, leaving tail intact. With a knife, make an incision in the back of each shrimp and remove the black intestinal cord. Gently wash in cool running water and drain well. Trim the leaves off the lower parts of rosemary branches and set aside. Skewer shrimp onto branches. Place in a bowl large enough to hold the skewers in a single layer. Cut oregano leaves into chiffonade. Grate zest and juice the two lemons. In a bowl, combine limoncello, oregano, olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice. Pour mixture over shrimp and turn skewers to fully coat. Cover and place in refrigerator to marinate for 2 to 3 hours. Remove shrimp skewers from marinade, reserving liquid. Preheat grill and scatter rosemary leaves over coals just before cooking the shrimp. Grill shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, turn, baste with the reserved marinade and cook for another minute, or until just cooked through. Serve hot. �
