How To Cook Shrimp 3 Different Delicious Ways (Easy Shrimp Recipes)

all right guys they had shrimp on sale at the grocery store and I'm a big fan of saving a couple dollars and I'm about to launch my new food blog so I figured why not give you guys three of my most popular shrimp recipes meet me in the kitchen let's make it happen all right guys first up is the Bang Bang Shrimp I'm going to make the sauce for that starting off we need some mayo about a/2 cup of mayonnaise a four cup of sriracha and a four cup of sweet chili sauce this is my favorite brand right here find whatever you got at the store but if you can find that that's the good stuff right there there you can alter the ratio of sriracha to sweet chili sauce if you want it a little bit spicier or a little bit sweeter totally up to you that's going to be a little bit sweeter cuz I added a little bit too much that's why you don't always want to eyeball it one tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce we going to break out the Whisk and mix to combine taste as you go adjust the flavor to your preference different uh brands of sweet chili are going to be spicier or sweeter different brands of sriracha are going to taste a little different also so that's why it's important to always taste as you go and adjust accordingly but this is a good foundation about a/2 cup of mayo and then 1/4 cup of each when it comes to the sriracha and the sweet chili I can tell by the color that this one needs a little bit more Sriracha give that a little mix then we'll give it a taste make sure it's good next up for the po boy we're going to make a nice sauce starting with a little mayo little ketchup some relish ketchup was overzealous there tablespoon of garlic little sweet relish tablespoon of that as well teaspoon of hot sauce I like the Old Bay hot sauce for this recipe but use whatever you like a little worst word in the world sauce and then season to taste I like smoked paprika and some Lemon Bay or Old Bay Cajun seasoning and whatever you got at home will do the trick let go pair beautifully with your shrimp PoBoy break out the Whisk and mix to combine that's going to take your sandwich to new heights all right guys so for the garlic butter shrimp we have some beautiful shrimp here I'm leaving the tail on for controversy it's an appetizer so I like to leave the tail on for this particular presentation we're going to season it up real simple allpurpose seasoning a little Lemon Bay Seasoning feel free to use whatever your favorite allpurpose seasoning is or whatever your favorite seafood seasoning is no need to get too creative here because the garlic butter sauce is phenomenal guys and that's going to pack all the flavor that you need so little salt and pepper here would be just fine too if you want to keep it extra simple but little Lemon Bay and AP never hurt nobody so get in there with your hands massage that in we're going to sear these off and get started on our sauce all right guys the next step is to go ahead and get the the shrimp and the skillet we got to Skillet over medium heat about a tablespoon of avocado oil make sure it coats the bottom of the skillet nicely and we're just going to get the shrimp in there get some color we don't want it to be too hot because I don't want the shrimp to cook too fast so that's why we're putting in a relatively cold Skillet you'll hear it start to sizzle here in just a moment but we seasoned our shrimp just want to slowly bring it up to temperature that way they don't overcook because we're going to toss them back in the sauce in a little bit so right now we're really just focused on developing the perfect [Music] color all right guys so Left Behind is all that flavor from the shrimp to that we're going to add one stick of butter don't tell my heart doctor butter makes everything better over medium low heat we're just going to let that butter melt kind of scrape up any fawn from the shrimp we're going to need that flavor for later this is perfect to serve over pasta over rice mashed potatoes or as a appetizer with some crusty bread can't go wrong with that all right so once the butter is most of the away melted we're going to add in one dice shallot three cloves of minced garlic get all of that garlic in there and then we're also going to add in a couple tablespoons of Capers next up we're going in with some fresh diced parsley followed by some red pepper flakes just to add a little bit of heat totally optional though if you don't want any heat no big deal I'm not going to judge you little chicken bullan powder to amplify the flavor you got some shrimp bullan go ahead and throw that in there and then for the Citrus notes we're going to add a little fresh lemon zest and some lemon juice going to let that simmer for a few minutes and then we're going to add in some chicken broth and that's our sauce [Music] now in goes about a cup of chicken broth we're going to bring that to a boil let that reduce down and then once it reduces we'll taste it for seasoning add our shrimp back in there and plate this up all right so once the sauce reduces a bit we're going to go ahead and add back in the shrimp to finish cooking those once the shrimp hits 145° internal temperature it is safe to eat don't overcook it too much or it's going to get rubbery and chewy and that's not what we're looking for so gentle simmer here let's Let It absorb all that butter and flavor then we'll plate this up again over rice mashed potatoes pasta or serve it as an appetizer with your favorite bread all right guys I don't know about y'all but I'm starving we're going to get an early taste test and see what we got they look pretty might be the perfect way to eat shrimp and got a handle all right guys the beauty about the next two steps are we're using the same breading for both fried shrimp preparations we have a little uh buttermilk or half and half with two beaten eggs we got some shrimp here we have my seasoned allpurpose flour if not you can use allpurpose flour and season it with a blend of salt pepper garlic onion powder maybe a little uh Cajun seasoning whatever you like is fine to that though I'm going to add about 1/4 cup of corn starch the reason for that is I want to be nice and crispy and uh corn starch is commonly used in you know Asian fried shrimp or fried chicken and the Bang Bang Shrimp is kind of in the Asian style so we're going to do a hybrid here it's not going to hurt our Po Boys either so it's going to work out perfectly we're going to go ahead and mix that in and then we're going to coat it get in some 350° oil until it's golden brown and beautiful and 145° internal temperature so next up I'm going to get these shrimp and and the egg wash hit it with just a touch of salt and pepper or allpurpose doesn't need much cuz that seasoned flour is heavily seasoned so no need to go crazy there as I struggle to open the top there we go and then we're going to coat them in the flour get them on the uh baking dish or baking sheet until our oil comes up to Temp then fry them in batches until they're done all right people our oil is up to 350° and now it's time to fry I'm going to lift the basket up so we can get optimal number of shrimp in there without causing much splatter and shrimp cook super fast so by the time you get the last one in there the first one's damn near done so we going to do it this way if you don't have one of these baskets then you can use a a a ladle or a spider to get them in there probably not a ladle now sound like R do this in two batches drop it back in there slowly these will fry up quick four 5 minutes golden brown 145° internal temperature drain them with a spider on a wire rack good to go got our bread toasted going to go ahead and slather both sides with this sauce that we made don't be shy with that be shy with the sauce you can top the shrimp with the sauce too if you want then we're going down with some tomato three thin slices got lettuce all over my tomato but I guess it's all going to the same place right little lettuce ni nice bright green situation and first vegan thing I've made on the on the channel m is the Mayo now we're going to top it with as many shrimp as we can fit on there one more a little bit more sauce cuz why the hell not there you have it folks Shrimp Po Boy Next Up Bang Bang Shrimp just going to dunk it gently into the sauce don't need to go too crazy knock off any excess and then we're going to Plate it up little chive garnish it's a little bit tedious to do it this way but best presentation right so you eat with your eyes first take a little extra time to make your shrimp look pretty cuz if you go tossing and getting too violent with the shrimp some of the breading will fall off and we worked hard to establish that nice crunchy exterior we don't want to ruin that and this the part where I say brace yourself for a trademark money shot say it with me guys looking good the only thing left to do is dig in for the taste test but before we do that please take a quick second to subscribe to the channel make sure you hit that Bell to enable notifications as well all right my friends the moment of truth is here my favorite part of the job those are pretty taste test what about a bang bang shrimp PoBoy New Orleans crucified me for that but what else is new it's the best side to dig into this thing make all three well pop used to say bang bang bang I still that bread that r aot
