Best Leek Saffron And Shrimp Tartlets Recipes

LEEKS WITH GINGER AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Put half the oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to high. When a bit of smoke appears, add the leeks, all at once. Let sit for a couple of minutes, then cook, stirring only occasionally, for about 10 minutes. When the leeks dry out and begin to brown, remove them from the pan and set aside.
• With the heat still on high, add the remaining oil to the pan, immediately followed by the shrimp. Sprinkle with the ginger. Cook for about a minute, then stir. Cook, stirring every minute or so, until the shrimp are almost all pink, about 5 minutes. Add the leeks, along with some salt and pepper. When the shrimp are done (no traces of gray will remain), stir in the liquid if desired, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.

VERY TASTY AND VERY EASY SHRIMP TARTLETS

Steps:

• 1. In a small bow, combine the cream cheese, worcestershire sauce, grated onion, garlic power/salt and lemon juice. Blend well.
• 2. Spoon into the tart shells and top with cocktail sauce and shrimp. Regrigerate until ready to serve.
• 3. Tipp: You can either use the shrimp plain or steam them in old bay seasoning. I've made them both ways and either way is great. Enjoy.

QUICK, SPICY LEEK AND SHRIMP STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Trim the ends and dark green tops from the leeks and discard. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Immerse them in a bowl of cold water, swish to remove any grit and lift them out into a colander. Clean the bowl, change the water and repeat until the water remains clear. You should have 6 cups leeks. Once they are all in the colander, toss them a bit with your fingers to separate the leaves.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add half the leeks and a generous pinch each salt and pepper. Spread the leeks into a single layer and cook, without stirring, until slightly charred, about 1 minute. Stir in a small pinch pepper flakes and continue cooking, without stirring, 1 minute. Toss and stir until the leeks just start to wilt, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with 1 tablespoon of the oil, the remaining leeks, a generous pinch each salt and pepper and another small pinch pepper flakes, adding the leeks to the bowl when done.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet (let it get really hot). Add the shrimp, garlic and another pinch pepper flakes (or to taste). Season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing, until the shrimp just starts to turn pink in spots, less than 1 minute. Add the leeks and toss to combine; the shrimp should now be pink. Serve immediately over rice if using.
