Best Firehouse Shrimp Bowl Salad Recipes

SHRIMP SCAMPI FIREMEN STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened but not browned, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine and lemon juice and cook for another 2 minutes. As the sauce thickens, add the shrimp and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes making sure not to over-cook them. As a final touch, add the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• To make the garlic bread, slice the bread lengthwise. Spread the butter over the cut side of the bread. Spread the minced garlic evenly over the butter and sprinkle the parsley and paprika over the top. Bake in the oven for about 4 minutes until lightly browned.
• To serve, cook your favorite pasta and top with shrimp and sauce. Garnish with lemon slices, chopped parsley, and slices of garlic bread.

SHRIMP, WATERCRESS AND FARRO SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the farro in warm water for about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse well. Pour into a medium saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Add a pinch of salt and cook for about 30 minutes. The farro should be soft but have a slight chew to it. Drain to remove excess water, and then transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Toss the shrimp with 2 more tablespoons olive oil, some salt, pepper and the lime juice. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and broil for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool slightly.
• Make the salad dressing by combining the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the mint, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a small jar. Cover and shake to combine.
• Toss together the farro, beans and watercress in a large bowl with half of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. To plate, transfer the salad to a large platter and top with the shrimp. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.

FIREHOUSE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl toss the lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, carrots and black beans to evenly combine. Plate this mixture and top with the mango and the beet sticks. Drizzle on lime cumin vinaigrette.
• Combine the lime juice, rice wine vinegar, cumin, honey and jalapeno until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in cilantro. Taste and adjust seasonings. Reserve.
• To morph into a Sauteed Shrimp Salad: Place 12 to 15 (about 3/4 pound) large peeled shrimp in a small bowl. Pour about half of the lime cumin vinaigrette over the shrimp. Cover and marinate for 20 minutes.
• In a saute pan over high heat, toss the shrimp, with salt and pepper, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until their tails turn bright pink. Serve over the salad and drizzle on remaining lime cumin vinaigrette.
