Shrimp Antipasto Recipes

ANTIPASTO

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients in large pot. Boil 5 minutes.
• Add next 4 ingredients, boil 10 minutes.
• Add balance of ingredients. Try not to break up shrimp and tuna too much. Bring to just boiling.
• Process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes.
• Note: *Drain everything except olives and pickled onion juice. Biffy and Frank's flub (taste great.) Omit vinegar.
• Optional - small amount of brown sugar, HP sauce, chopped garlic, hot pepper sauce (dried or fresh) WE NEVER USE THESE.
• Something sure has changed with Recipe Zaar! When trying to put the ingredients in it was a big pain in the butt for the sizes. I've converted the grams to ounces but I didn't have everything in my cupboard to actually look at so I guessed. But most cans come pretty standard, and the "Frozen Shrimp" is a large bag -- it wouldn't let me put just "large.".

Steps:

• Heat broiler. In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients except 1 tablespoon olive oil and the bread. Transfer shrimp to an edged baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer, and pour the sauce over. Broil, about 2 inches from the heat, until shrimp are cooked through and browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lightly brush one side of the bread slices with remaining tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place a piece of bread on each of 4 plates; divide shrimp among them.
• Place baking sheet with sauce on a burner over medium-high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle sauce over bread and shrimp, and serve.

CANNELLINI BEAN ANTIPASTO WITH SHRIMP: ANTIPASTO DI CANNELLINI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until they turn pink, about 4 minutes.
• Remove the shrimp from the pan, reserving the garlic and oil. Chop the shrimp into pieces slightly larger than the beans. Toss the shrimp with the beans, adding the reserved oil and garlic.
• In a serving bowl, toss the shrimp and beans with the remaining olive oil and the red onions. Strip the rosemary leaves from the stems and add to the beans. Toss, then add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Toss again, before adding the basil. Just before serving, toss the beans once more and adjust seasoning. Add more oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar, as desired.
