Shrimp Bread Recipes

SHRIMP SCAMPI GARBAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce until the alcohol smell is no longer present and the sauce is a nice golden color, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the shrimp, lemon zest and parsley; sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Roll out the dough into a 20-by-14-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Working from the shorter end of the dough, distribute the mozzarella over half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on the sides. Evenly distribute the shrimp and sauce over the cheese. Working from the shorter end, tightly roll the dough up, jelly roll-style, into a log. Pinch the open seams together to seal, then tuck them underneath the log.
• Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet, and brush with the beaten egg. Bake until the bread is golden brown and the shrimp are cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. (The filling may leak out on the side.)
• Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Halve the bread lengthwise, cut each half crosswise into 4 equal pieces and serve warm.

SPEEDY SHRIMP FLATBREADS

Steps:

SHRIMP & CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Melt butter in skillet and add green onions, shrimp (or crawfish) and seasonings; cook until shrimp are just done (8-10 minutes).
• Slice 1/3 of the top off the bread and dig out insides of bottom, leaving a 1/2" shell.
• Sprinkle half the cheese in the shell, pour the shrimp mixture over the cheese, and top with remaining cheese.
• Replace top of bread on the loaf.
• Wrap loaf in aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
• Allow loaf to cool a bit before slicing; serve warm.

SHRIMP BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• With a bread knife, slice the loaf of bread lenghtwise and scoop out the soft part leaving the shell intact.
• Take the onions, celery, bell pepper and garlic and chop finely.
• Melt the butter in a heavy bottom pot and add the chopped veggies and saute on high heat till soft.
• Add garlic and cook for three minutes more.
• Lower heat and add basil, salt and pepper, shrimp and green onions.
• You are only heating the shrimp up so do not leave it on for long.
• Finally, when the shrimp mix is warm, add the soft bread to the pot and stir, mixing completely.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
• (I usually add some type of cajun or creole seasoning to the mixture to spice it up!) When the mixture is well blended, spoon it back into the bread shells, which are already lying on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
• Fill both sides of the shells evenly and then gently place them back together and wrap in the foil.
• Place the wrapped loaf in a 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• This recipe can be used with a large loaf of bread or the smaller french bread loaves.
