Best Fideos With Shrimp Recipes

FIDEO CON CAMARONES (SEARED SHRIMP WITH FIDEO)

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat for 2 minutes and toast the fideo, tossing constantly, until most of the fideo has browned, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a medium bowl and set aside until ready to use.
• Heat the bacon fat in the same skillet over high heat and cook half the shrimp until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Reduce the heat to medium high and add the onion, poblano, garlic, serrano, tomatillos and salt in the same skillet; cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and just beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the stock and fideo and bring to a boil; cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until all of the liquid has been absorbed, 17 to 22 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Arrange the shrimp on top, cover and let sit for 5 minutes to heat the shrimp through.
• Serve the fideo topped with avocado slices and cilantro leaves.

FIDEOS WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook fava beans 1 minute. Drain and immediately transfer beans to ice-water bath until cool. Peel beans; set aside.
• Melt butter in an 11 1/2-inch paella pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until bright red, about 1 minute; remove shrimp from pan and set aside. Add pasta to paella pan and stir until well coated with butter. Cook until evenly browned and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring, and allowing pasta to absorb stock after each addition before adding more. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add pepper paste, roasted peppers, olives, reserved fava beans, and basil; stir to combine. Add shrimp and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with pecorino Romano. Divide evenly between 2 plates and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.

ONE-POT SPANISH-STYLE SHRIMP AND CHORIZO PASTA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and pasta, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until pasta starts to turn golden, about 5 minutes (pasta will break up a bit during stirring).
• Lower heat and add garlic, tomato paste and chorizo, and cook until tomato paste is lightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Add fennel, clam juice and 1 cup of water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over moderate heat until pasta has softened and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in shrimp, peas and Parmesan, cover and cook until shrimp is opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.
• Drizzle with oil and serve with lemon wedges.
