SPICED SHRIMP



Spiced Shrimp image

The basic recipe for these quickly broiled shrimp is elastic, easily halved or scaled up. And the spice choices can vary. Here I have opted for ras el hanout, a complex North African blend that delivers modest peppery heat along with pungent elements of cumin, fenugreek and coriander, as well as the warm astringency of allspice and cloves. Harissa, a North African hot sauce, seasons the dip. Serve it as an appetizer or pair it with a grain like rice or farro, or a buttery tumble of fluffy couscous for a more substantial meal.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound large shrimp, about 20, preferably Gulf, shelled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon harissa paste, or to taste
1 tablespoon finely minced cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons ras el hanout (Moroccan spice blend)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 lemon, seeds removed

Steps:

  • Place shrimp in a bowl and add the salt. Mix well and set aside 30 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the yogurt and mix in the harissa and cilantro. Transfer to a serving dish and set aside.
  • Heat broiler. Rinse and dry shrimp, place in a bowl and add the ras el hanout. Toss to mix thoroughly. Select a shallow baking dish that will hold the shrimp snugly in a single layer. Brush with a little of the butter. Arrange shrimp in the dish and brush with remaining butter. Broil close to the source of heat until shrimp are lightly browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. (Alternatively, the shrimp can be placed on soaked wooden skewers, about 3 shrimp per stick, and broiled or grilled over high heat, turning once.) Squeeze the lemon over the shrimp.
  • Serve as a cocktail snack directly from the dish with picks to skewer shrimp and harissa dip alongside.

Fennel Spiced Prawns with Citrus Salad image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h34m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 jumbo prawns or shrimp, about 1/2 pound total, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon Fennel Spice Rub, recipe follows
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
1 blood orange
1/2 large grapefruit
2 naval or other large oranges
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
1 large bunch watercress

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the fennel spice evenly over the flesh side of the prawns and let sit, covered and refrigerated, overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet with even curved edge over medium high heat until hot. Lay the prawns, flesh down, against the curved sides of the pan, tails up and heads toward the center of the pan. Press them down with spatula or rest a slightly smaller pan on top of the prawns as a weight, so they cook evenly and rapidly. This will give them a gently curled shape. Cook until they begin to turn pink around the edges, about 2 minutes. Place the pan in the oven until the prawns are evenly pink, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Cut the skin and white pith off all the citrus fruits and segment the fruits over a bowl to catch the segments and juices. Season with the salt and pepper and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Toss well, taste for balance and reserve.
  • To serve, place 1/4 of the watercress on 4 plates. Toss the citrus mixture again and spoon around and over the watercresss, moistening with juices. Arrange 3 prawns around each salad, standing them in a circle, tails up, and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
  • Fennel Spice Rub:
  • 1 cup fennel seeds
  • 3 tablespoons coriander seeds
  • 2 tablespoons white peppercorns
  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt
  • Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly. When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.
  • Pour the seeds into a blender and add the salt. Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
  • Yield: about 1 1/4 cups
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
