POACHED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Fill a large pot with about a 1/2 gallon of water, add the salt and squeeze in the lemon juice; toss the halves in there too for extra flavor. Add the herbs and seafood seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the water with the aromatics.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add shrimp. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are bright pink and the tails curl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and chill thoroughly before peeling. Serve with lemon wedges and Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce as part of a raw shellfish bar.
- Combine the tomatoes, celery, and onion in a blender and puree to break the vegetables down. Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. Chill before serving with a raw bar.
BAMBOO PIPE STEAMED COCONUT SHRIMP
This easy recipe is packed full of flavor! My parents were in the Air Force, traveled through Asia for years and brought back tons of recipes. To this day, we still cook our shrimp with bamboo steamers because of the ease and richness of the flavor imparted.

Steps:
- Soak two 8-inch-long, 4 1/2-inch-wide bamboo steamer pipes in water for 15 to 20 minutes before using to prevent them from burning over an open fire. (See Cook's Note.) If the walls of the bamboo steamer pipes are at least 1 inch thick or if you are using a gas grill, this step is optional.
- Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Mix in the coconut milk, rice wine vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, cilantro, lemongrass and red chile flakes.
- Prepare an open fire with grill grates or prepare a gas grill for 350 degrees F.
- Fill the bamboo pipes with the shrimp mixture. Ensure the liquid fills the bamboo pipes at least three-quarters of the way up. Place the bamboo pipes directly on the grill grates over the open fire or directly on the grates of a gas grill at 350 degrees F. Remove the bamboo pipes when the shrimp are cooked through, after about 30 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Drain the liquid from the bamboo pipes and reserve for the guests to use for dipping or smothering. Serve the shrimp over your favorite side or steamed white rice.
BASIL POACHED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Put all of the ingredients in a large pot. Season with some salt and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. As soon as the shrimp reaches a boil, remove from the heat, strain the water and plunge the shrimp into ice water to stop the cooking. Allow the shrimp to chill for about 10 minutes.;
- Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse a few times to blend the pesto. You do not want it completely smooth, leave it a little rough. After the shrimp are cooled, strain the water and toss the shrimp with the pesto, season with salt and pepper.;
