Best Shrimp Melt Recipes

SHRIMP MELT

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• In a bowl, combine the shrimp, mayonnaise, chili sauce, and cheese.
• Place muffins on a baking sheet, cut side down; broil 4 inches from the heat for 1 minute.
• Turn and spread each with shrimp mixture.
• Broil until bubbly but not browned (1 1/2-2 minutes); watch carefully to prevent burning.

SHRIMP AVOCADO MELT

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Melt butter with sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season butter mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir shrimp, cashews, and green chile peppers in the butter mixture until everything is hot and coated in butter, about 5 minutes.
• Arrange tortilla halves into a baking dish. Top each tortilla half with half the avocado slices. Spoon about half the shrimp mixture atop each portion of avocado, drizzling any remaining melted butter from the skillet over the mixture. Top each with about half the pepperjack cheese and Cheddar cheese.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the tortilla browning, about 5 minutes.

CRISPY MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH INDIAN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place the ginger, chilies and cilantro in a food processor and process them until everything is finely minced, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Put the mixture into a small work bowl and add the shrimp; mix and stir well until the shrimp are well-coated.
• Add the turmeric and mix, making sure the shrimp are again well-coated.
• Cover or wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours.
• When ready to cook, remove the shrimp from the refrigerator, mix in the salt, and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
• Put about 1/3 of the Cream of Rice (use a little if not enough to coat all the shrimp) in a medium-sized plastic bag (do not use all the Cream of Rice at once or the marinade on the shrimp will make it too moist to coat the shrimp evenly).
• Pour enough oil into a small, deep saucepan to cover 6 of the shrimp completely at one time and begin to heat the oil until hot enough to fry the shrimp.
• While the oil is heating, put 6 shrimp into the plastic bag, close the bag, and toss to coat evenly with the Cream of Rice.
• Place the shrimp on a slotted spoon and ease them into the hot oil; they should sizzle immediately.
• Turn after 1 minute and fry for another minute, or until evenly golden.
• Remove the shrimp to paper towels to absorb any excess oil, and repeat the process with another 1/4 cup Cream of Rice and 6 shrimp.
• Repeat the process one more time with the last 6 shrimp, then serve, garnished with lemon wedges.
