Tomato And Garlic Stew With Prawns Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
• Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a glass dish, mix together the olive oil, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, orange juice, basil and white wine. Add the prawns, and stir to coat. Cover, and let marinate for 1 hour.
• Heat an outdoor grill to high heat.
• Thread prawns onto skewers. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until pink.
• If desired, reserve marinade; transfer to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve with prawns.

Steps:

• Puree cherry tomatoes and clam juice in a blender until smooth. Press mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl.
• Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, green onions, garlic, anchovy, and 1 pinch red pepper flakes in a cold plan. Place over medium heat. Cook and stir until garlic and onions just start to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer stew until color deepens, about 10 minutes.
• Add halibut and shrimp to the stew. Season with salt. Increase heat to high. Cover pan and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, basil, oregano, and rosemary. Pour stew into a warm bowl. Drizzle in remaining olive oil and sprinkle 1 pinch red pepper flakes on top. Serve with crusty bread.

Steps:

• Add oil, onions, and garlic to a saucepan on medium heat and cook. Stir until soft and golden (about 8 minutes). Add the tomatoes, crush with a fork, then add the wine and stock, simmer until thickened slightly (about 10 minutes).
• Add the prawns and cook until they've turned red (about 5 minutes), then add the parsley, pepper and salt. Serve into bowls with crusty bread.
• (To get 500gms peeled prawns you will need 1kg unshelled prawns).

Steps:

• In a medium sized pot, bring enough water, to cover 2 to 3 whole tomatoes, to a boil. Score the skin of the tomatoes and boil them until the tomato skin can be easily removed and the tomatoes are tender, about 30 seconds. Peel and chop the tomatoes and set aside.
• In a large pot, slowly saute minced garlic and olive oil over low heat. Add the onion and the stewed tomatoes. Add the carrots, fennel, and chicken stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook until the carrots and fennel are tender, about 10 minutes.
• In a large pan, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the monkfish and sea scallops with salt and pepper and sear the fish in the pan, about 30 seconds per side. Once the fish has been seared, add it to the stew. Season the catfish fillets with salt and pepper, and then lightly dredge them in flour. Pan-sear the catfish in olive oil until both sides of the fish have browned. Using the wine, deglaze the pan and heat until a sauce forms. Add the sauce to the stew.
• In another medium sized pot, heat the mussels over low heat until they open, in order to extract some of the water. Discard any unopened mussels.
• To serve, begin with 2 slices of garlic bread on the plate, and top with 1 of the pan-seared catfish fillets. Ladle some of the seafood stew on top of the catfish and the bread and garnish the plate with the mussels and freshly chopped parsley.
• Slice the bread into 1/2-inch pieces. Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil and generously rub the garlic cloves on both sides of each piece. Heat a grill pan over medium heat and grill both sides of the bread until browned. Serve with the seafood stew.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a saucepan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 mins or until cooked but still firm. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, thickly slice.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a low-medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, anchovy and chilli, season and cook for 8 mins or until softened. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the tomatoes, wine and stock, and cook for 15 mins. Add the prawns, lemon juice, capers and potatoes. Cook for 5 mins more, or until the prawns turn pink and are just cooked. Mix together the parsley and lemon zest, then scatter over the stew, then serve with toasted bread, for dunking.

Steps:

• Heat oil in skillet until very hot but not smoking.
• Meanwhile, mix ingredients for sauce.
• Saute prawns in hot oil until they turn white/pink but are not completely cooked (approximately 3 minutes).
• Turn heat down, add sauce, cover and simmer for 2 more minutes.
• Mix flour with a small amount of water, add to sauce and cook until sauce has thickened (approximately 1 minute).
• Serve with sides of your choice.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices; 1 teaspoon sugar; the cumin, caraway seeds and allspice; 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, mash the jalapeño, garlic, dill and 1/2 teaspoon salt together using a mortar and pestle for a few minutes. Alternately, finely chop them together on a cutting board, then mash them by pressing back and forth using the flat side of your knife until a paste forms. (Both approaches release the oil from the jalapeño and dill and make them more fragrant.) Add to the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to break down the tomatoes, until sauce is thickened and flavors meld, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds: In a small skillet, stir the sesame seeds over medium heat until golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• When the tomato sauce is ready, taste and adjust the seasoning (you may want to add a bit more sugar or jalapeño). Finally, stir in the shrimp, making sure they are submerged, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they have just turned pink and are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, drizzle with a generous amount of extra-virgin olive oil and scatter with the sesame seeds and chopped parsley.
