Best Shrimp In Paprika Yogurt Sauce Recipes

SMOKY PAPRIKA SHRIMP WITH QUINOA TABBOULEH AND GARLIC YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak your bamboo skewers in a shallow baking dish filled with about 2 inches of water for at least 30 minutes.
• Pour the quinoa into a small saucepan and add ¾ cup water. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover and cook for 12-15 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Let the quinoa rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes and fluff with a fork.
• While the quinoa is cooking, tackle the shrimp. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the smoked paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, garlic and olive oil. (It will be a pretty pasty, people.) Add the shrimp to the spice mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (and up to overnight).
• While the shrimp is marinating, prep the tabbouleh. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic and olive oil with a pinch of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Add the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, mint and parsley, and toss to combine.Taste and season with extra salt and fresh ground pepper if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
• Combine all the ingredients for the yogurt sauce in a medium bowl. If it's too thick, add a couple teaspoons of water until your desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Now it's time to skewer the shrimp. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over your spiced shrimp and give them a toss. Thread the shrimp onto your soaked skewers. (I like to use two bamboo skewers for each kabob for stability.) You should be able to get 4-5 on each "kebab."
• Heat a lightly oiled grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shrimp skewers and cook for about 2-2½ minutes on each side until they're opaque and cooked through.
• Serve shrimp over tabbouleh and drizzle with yogurt sauce. I like to serve everything on a warm pita, but you do you.

SMOKED PAPRIKA SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a medium-sized bowl. Toss with the olive oil, smoked paprika, salt and garlic powder until coated.
• Heat a large nonstick or enameled cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it's good and hot before adding the shrimp.
• Add the half of the shrimp. There should be a bit of space between the shrimp so that they sear rather than steam.
• Cook for 1 minute. Using tongs, flip the shrimp and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Take care not to overcook the shrimp or they will become rubbery.
• Transfer the shrimp to a plate or bowl. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the apple cider mixture. Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
• Add the shrimp to the vinegar-syrup mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

SHRIMP IN PAPRIKA-YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Shell and devein the shrimp.
• Cut the red pepper into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Slice the green pepper into 1 1/2-inch-long strips.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add the shrimp, salt, pepper and paprika. Stir with a wooden spatula. When the shrimp become pink (they should take 2 to 3 minutes), remove them with a slotted spoon, leaving the cooking liquid in the pan.
• In the same skillet, add the red and green peppers, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, about 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the Cognac, shrimp and any juices that have accumulated. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes more.
• Add the sour cream and the yogurt. Blend well and check for seasoning. Add the chopped coriander, and bring to a simmer for about 30 seconds. Do not boil, or the sauce will separate. Serve immediately.

20-MINUTE SHRIMP AND COUSCOUS WITH YOGURT-HUMMUS SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high. Combine the couscous, apricots and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a bowl. Add 1 1/4 cups very hot water, cover with plastic wrap and let sit until all of the water is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir together the yogurt, hummus, mint and 1 to 2 tablespoons water in another bowl. Season with salt and set aside.
• Toss the shrimp, tomatoes, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and paprika together. Spread out on a baking sheet and broil until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Drizzle with the lemon juice.
• Fluff the couscous with a fork. Divide the shrimp and couscous among 4 plates. Scrape any of the drippings from the baking sheet into the yogurt-hummus sauce. Serve the shrimp and couscous with the sauce.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH MUSTARD-DILL DRESSING AND BLACK OLIVE YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a grill to high. Thread 3 shrimp onto 2 skewers (so that the shrimp lie flat). Repeat with remaining shrimp. Brush with oil and season with paprika and salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, mustards, and dill in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Put the shrimp on a platter and immediately drizzle with the mustard vinaigrette.
• Combine the yogurt, olives, oregano, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor and process until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the shrimp with sauce on the side.

SHRIMP WITH PAPRIKA AND SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp. Cut them into half-inch cubes.
• Heat the butter in a small skillet and add the shallots. Cook briefly and add the wine. Cook until the wine almost evaporates. Add the shrimp, salt and pepper to taste and paprika. Cook, stirring, about one minute.
• Add the sour cream and cook just until the cream is piping hot without boiling. Stir in the dill.
