Shrimp Bilbaina Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Stir in pasta, arugula and Parmesan until arugula begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Stir in shrimp. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

PESCADO A LA BILBAíNA (SEARED FISH W/ SHERRY VINEGAR)

Steps:

• Sprinkle a generous amount of kosher salt on both sides of the fish filets.
• Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and spread it across the entire skillet. When it's hot, add the fillets with the skin side down.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and cook fish until it turns from opaque to white (approximately 8-10 minutes for most fillets). You may cover the skillet to complete the cooking process if you need to.
• When the fish flesh has mostly turned white, pour 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil into a small saucepan along with the chile pieces and sliced garlic. Heat on medium-low until the garlic begins to sizzle and become golden in color. Do not let the garlic brown.
• Transfer the fish fillets carefully to two dinner plates using a spatula. Immediately splash each fillet with 1 teaspoon of sherry vinegar. Then spoon the hot oil/garlic/chile mixture over each piece of fish.
• Garnish with minced parsley and serve.
