Baked Garlic Shrimp. Keg Style Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by slebel

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 escargot plates
36 shrimp (i like them tails off)
1/2 cup butter (DON'T USE MARGARINE. I tried. was terrible)
A few cloves of garlic, minced
A few tablespoons of parsley, chopped fine
1/4 cup jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup cheddar or marble cheese, shredded
A few squirts of lemon juice
1 package escargot seasoning mix packet
36 shrimp, cleaned and deveined or use precooked shrimp.
1/2 cup butter (DONT USE MARGARINE. I tried. was terrible)
Loaf of crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

Now to cook up this buttery goodness: Melt your butter in a sauce pan. Add the garlic, parsley and escargot mix. Saute for a few minutes Add the shrimp. Saute until they are pink or warm the whole way through. (I use precooked shrimp. But if you aren't you'll want to wash them before you stick them in, and cook them till they are pink and puffy) Get out those escargot plates. Place one little guy in each hole, and add some of the butter/garlic/parsley mix to each. Cover with cheese. Stick in oven and broil until cheese is melted and a little crispy. Kinda like a good pizza. Serve, with some crusty bread, to your husband who will think you are some chef extraordinaire. (No need to tell him otherwise) I dip my bread in the butter once all the shrimps are annihilated. We like a cold glass of coke with this tasty treat but I think most people would enjoy a glass of wine.

Baked Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms image

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

creole seasoning (tony cacherie's or zatarain's)
12 shrimp, peeled and deveined large shrimp (21-25 per lb) or to fit mushroom caps
1/2 c butter (salted or unsalted - don't use margarine) or light olive oil and a pat of butter for flavor
4 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp sherry (cooking sherry is fine)
1 Tbsp chives (dried or fresh)
12 large fresh mushrooms, stems removed
4 Tbsp mozzarella or your favorite cheese, shredded (part-skim okay)
lemon wedges

Steps:

1. Save the mushroom stems for another use. Either chop them or leave them whole and freeze until needed.
2. Place the mushrooms in a foil lined baking dish or baking pan if you're making a large batch.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly sprinkle creole seasoning over shrimp and toss to coat. Set aside.
4. Heat the butter, sherry, garlic, and chives in a skillet over medium heat until the butter begins to bubble.
5. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until they just turn pink, about 3 minutes.
6. Place one shrimp in or on each mushroom cap, spoon the garlic-chive butter over the shrimp and into the mushroom caps; then sprinkle each with a pinch of mozzarella or your favorite cheese. Five Cheese Italian Blend, Havarti, Bleu, Parmigiana Reggiano, etc.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and french bread to mop up the extra yummy garlic butter!
8. Cook's Tips: If you want to make mini appetizers use smaller mushrooms and shrimp and place each one in a mini muffin pan to keep all that delicious garlic butter contained. If you want to get fancy, serve on a gently warmed deviled egg platter. Make sure it's oven safe - about 200 degrees is plenty warm enough. Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc., which is what I usually do. I've made as many as 75 for a catering party.
