Sizzling Sausages With Sherry Recipes

SIZZLING SHERRY SHRIMP WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and paprika in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and the garlic has turned golden brown, increase heat to high and add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with sherry or lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with chopped parsley.

SIZZLING SAUSAGES WITH SHERRY

Steps:

• Use kitchen shears to cut the links into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the sausage pieces on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the Sherry and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.
• Serve sprinkled with parsley. If the sausage pieces are to be served as a tapas, spear them with toothpicks.

SAUSAGES WITH SHERRY CARAMEL GLAZED PEARS

Steps:

• Bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a 10-inch heavy skillet, stirring until sugar is dissolved and washing down any sugar crystals on side of skillet with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil syrup, without stirring, gently swirling skillet, until mixture is a deep golden caramel.
• Carefully stir in vinegar (mixture will steam vigorously and caramel will harden). Remove from heat and stir until caramel is dissolved, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a heatproof cup and reserve skillet (do not clean skillet).
• Peel pears, quarter lengthwise, and core. Toss with 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
• Add 1/4 cup water, butter, and shallots to reserved skillet, then cook, uncovered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and shallots begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add pears and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown but not soft, about 6 minutes.
• Stir in caramel, salt, and pepper, then cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice.
• While pears and shallots are sautéing, cook sausages in oil and remaining 1/4 cup water in a 12-inch heavy skillet, covered, over moderate heat, 5 minutes.
• Remove lid from skillet and cook sausages, turning occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and sausages are browned and cooked through, about 6 to 12 minutes more. Serve sausages with shallots and pears.
