Shrimp Robert Recipes

Steps:

• Over high heat, bring 2 gallons water, 1/4 cup seafood seasoning and 1/8 Cajun spice to a boil. Add the potatoes and corn and cook until potatoes are soft to the touch, 15 to 18 minutes. Next, add the onions and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Next, add the sausage and shrimp and cook until the shrimp are bright pink, a final 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the water with a strainer.
• Next, in a large bowl, blend the remaining 1/4 cup seafood seasoning, 1/8 cup Cajun spice with the butter. Whisk together and toss with the cooked boil, tossing to well coat. Serve.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat 1/4 cup oil and cook garlic and shallot until translucent, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine, and add parsley, basil and thyme and let the liquid reduce by half. Using a fine strainer, strain the reduction into a clean saucepan and add the cream. Over low heat, let the sauce reduce to medium thickness. To the now empty saute pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, saute scallops, cook until opaque and remove to a utility platter in a warm place. Then use the same pan to saute shrimp just until pink, and remove to the utility platter. Add cream sauce to saute pan to toss the drained pasta or rice with the cream sauce and seafood, reserving a few scallops and shrimp for the top. Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with cheese, as garnish. Arrange shrimp and scallops on top and garnish with basil sprigs.

Steps:

• To make tempura, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and curry powder in a bowl. Dredge the shrimp in this dry mix, shaking any excess back into the bowl, and add seltzer to the tempura in a stream while whisking constantly to make it into batter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat canola oil to 375 degrees F in a deep-fryer, or according to the manufacturer's instructions for similar foods.
• Thread the dusted shrimp onto skewers, approximately 4 to a skewer. Pour the tempura batter into a glass pie plate, dip each skewer of shrimp into the tempura batter, and add to the deep- fryer basket. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper toweling and serve warm.
• Note: In the episode this dish was used as part of the bento box of 5 cooked tasting size entrees in conjunction with Miso Glazed Pink Cod; Chicken Yakitori with Scallions; Shrimp Tempura; Gyoza; and Korokee.

Steps:

• Peel, wash, and de-vein shrimp. Leave shell only on the tip of the tail for better handling. Butterfly shrimp (cut along the back but not straight through) to make room to insert a slice of jalapeño. Put in fridge to keep them cold while you prepare the bacon.
• Cut bacon strips in half and cook to medium doneness either in pan, oven, or in microwave (cooking time depends on method of cooking and heat setting). You want them about half cooked so they are still flimsy. They will finish cooking once on the grill.
• Once bacon is cooked to medium, drain on paper towels or newspaper. Insert one slice of jalapeno pepper (I use the jar kind and remove the seeds to make them milder) into the center of the back of the shrimp. Close shrimp around pepper and wrap the shrimp with one piece of bacon. I usually have a small bit of shrimp sticking out at the top and the tail sticking out at the bottom. Secure the bacon, shrimp, and pepper together by inserting a toothpick so that you have gone right through from one side of the shrimp to the other. Remember to wash up good after handling raw seafood and pork.
• Cook shrimp on a medium-hot barbecue grill or gas grill, turning once or twice after 2 or 3 minutes. Once they have been turned and partially cooked on each side, baste in a nice smoky BBQ sauce and cook on each side for a further 2 to 3 minutes (or until both bacon and shrimp are fully cooked).
• Sometimes we leave a few with no BBQ sauce, just to mix it up a bit. In that case, we might baste in a bit of butter just to keep the shrimp and bacon moist.
• For those who do not like spicy, leave the jalapeños out or just use a tiny piece of a slice.
• Note: Do not overcook these as they will get tough. Each person should get 4 shrimp each. Of course, you may serve more if you like -- we like!

Steps:

• For the carbonara base sauce: Put the pancetta in a cold saute pan and then put it over medium-high heat. When the fat starts to melt, stir the pancetta once in a while so it doesn't burn in the pan. Allow the pancetta to cook in the rendered fat until crispy and brown, about 30 minutes. Remove the pancetta pieces to a plate lined with paper towels, saving the fat in the pan.
• Whisk the flour into the pancetta fat to make a roux and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring so it does not burn. Whisk the milk into the the roux. (Transfer to a large pot if your saute pan is not big enough to hold the sauce.) Allow the sauce to gently simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Whisk in the Parmesan and season with some salt and pepper. Simmer to melt the cheese, another 2 to 3 minutes. Hold warm for serving.
• To finish the dish: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, season the shrimp with some salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the oil and then, working in batches if necessary, cook the shrimp to get a golden brown sear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. You do not want to overcrowd the pan. Add more oil between batches if necessary. Squeeze the juice of 1 of the lemons over the shrimp, add the butter to the pan and remove from the heat to let the shrimp rest.
• Bring the carbonara base sauce back up to a simmer. Add the pasta to the sauce and then add the peas and cooked pancetta. Adjust the consistency of the sauce with water if needed.
• Add the shrimp to the pan with the pasta, toss and then season with some salt and pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of lemon juice from the remaining lemon.
• To plate, divide the pasta and sauce among 6 bowls and arrange the pasta. Garnish with the parsley.

Steps:

• For the bangers: Using a meat grinder or food mill, grind the shrimp, lobster and garlic together into a large bowl. Then add the parsley, tarragon, seafood seasoning, salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg white and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix well with a spoon, ensuring not to over mix. TIP: Take a small bit of the mix and put it in boiling water for a second, take it out and make sure the seasoning is good. If you need more salt or pepper, this is the time to do it, before you fill the casings. To prepare the sausages, poke a small hole at the end of your casing, and then tie end of casing toward end of casing. Next, fill the casing according to the instructions that come with the equipment you are using, or with a pastry bag. While filling, twist or tie the casing every 5 to 6 inches to form each link until end of the casing, and then tie off the casing. To poach the sausages, in a large saucepan, bring water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the links and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Then remove the sausages, repeat the process with the remaining sausages and then let rest to cool. To sear or crust the sausages, in a saute pan over high heat, add 1 teaspoon of oil, sear the sausages on all four sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side, and then repeat the process until all the sausages have been cooked. While sausages are cooling, begin to prepare your potatoes. In a 1 gallon pot, bring 10 cups water to a boil. Then add the potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. After cooking, remove from the water and strain. Then, using a ricer, process the potatoes through the ricer (or a food mill) into a bowl. If you don't have a ricer or food mill, you can use mixer with a whisk attachment, mixing on high to smooth. After ricing the potatoes, add the butter and season with salt and pepper. Finish with heavy cream, stirring in. For the sauce: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the orange juice and onions and bring to a simmer. Reduce the juice to 1/2 cup, and then stir in the horseradish. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter to finish. Hold warm until serving.
• For the sprouts: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oil and warm. Then add the bacon and cook for 2 minutes, stirring throughout. Next, add the onions and again cook for 2 minutes; the onions should be softened. Next, deglaze the pan with wine. Stir and add the Brussels sprouts, cooking until browned on edges, 8 to 9 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, place potatoes on plates and top with Brussels sprouts, then sausage. Drizzle with the sauce and finish with tarragon.

Steps:

• Combine the wine with the milk and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 475.
• Saute the butter, garlic, onions, and mushrooms in a large skillet for about 5 minutes.
• Add the shrimp and cook about 3 more minutes.
• Sprinkle the mixture with the flour, stirring constantly until it browns.
• Slowly add the wine/milk mixture to the shrimp, stirring constantly until it just reaches the boiling point.
• Lower the heat, add all remaining seasonings and simmer over low heat for 3 minutes.
• Pour into a casserole dish.
• Top with bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 5 minutes.
• Serve with rice, salad, and hot French bread.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix rice wine and salt. Add the shrimp, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 20 minutes.
• Heat oil in deep-fryer or large wok to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, ice water, cornstarch, egg yolk, salt, white sugar, and baking powder. One at a time, dip shrimp into the flour mixture to coat. Carefully place a few shrimp at a time in the hot oil and deep-fry until golden brown on all sides, about 1 1/2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Tempura sauce:
• Stir together soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Just before serving, stir in the scallions and serve immediately with the shrimp.

Steps:

• For Grits:.
• Saute sausage in a medium saucepan just until hot, and some oil is released.
• Add water, bring to a boil, add salt and grits. Cook until thick and soft.
• Stir in cheese spread until melted through. Add parsley and adjust seasoning to taste.
• For Shrimp:.
• Generously sprinkle shrimp with seafood seasoning. I use Chef Paul's, but use whatever kind you happen to like.
• Melt butter in a nonstick skillet, add onion and pepper and cook gently until onion is translucent.
• Add garlic and cook a few moments more, stirring constantly.
• Add shrimp and wine and cook until nice and pink, but still tender.
• To serve:.
• Ladle grits into shallow bowls, top with shrimp, and drizzle with the butter and wine left in the pan. You can top it with a bit more parsley or green onions if you like. Traditionally, we would serve this with a crisp green salad and mimosas for a special brunch.

Steps:

• In a large sauté pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Sauté onion and jalapeno about 3 minutes. Add garlic, diced tomato and shrimp and cook until shrimp is opaque,
• about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and white wine and reduce until sauce thickens,
• about 2 minutes.
• Divide cooked linguine into two bowls and spoon sauce over. Serve immediately.
• Add a little parmesan cheese if you want.
