Shrimp in Cream Sauce
October 12, 2020

Shrimp in Cream Sauce

 Shrimp in Cream Sauce is a unique recipe that you can follow to make shrimp at the comfort of your home. You will love the unique taste of shrimp that is covered with creamy garlic parmesan sauce. You can further compliment the dish with spinach and dried tomatoes. This dish would never fail to impress your tastebuds.

Ingredients to get

Lets first take a look at the ingredients that you should be taking for the preparation.

  • One pound of shrimp
  • Six cloves of garlic
  • Two tablespoons of salted butter
  • One tablespoon of fresh parsley
  • Two teaspoons of dried Italian herbs
  • One teaspoon of cornstarch
  • 2/3 cups of fresh Parmesan cheese
  • Three cups of baby spinach leaves
  • Pepper and salt
  • 1 ½ cups of half and half
  • Five ounces of sun-dried tomato strips
  • ½ cup of white wine – This is optional
  • One small yellow onion

Directions to follow

Once you are ready with the ingredients, follow these steps for preparation.

  • You should take a large skillet and heat that up in medium to high heat. You should also melt the butter in it. Then you can add garlic and dry that. You should then add shrimp and fry for two additional minutes. Make sure that they are cooked well until they give out the pink color. Once you get that, you can take another bowl and transfer.
  • Now take the onions and fry them. You can use the same skillet. It is possible for you to add white wine based on your preferences. In the meantime, you should keep on scraping off the bits that are stick to the bottom of the pan. You should also add dried tomatoes and keep on frying for two additional minutes, so that you can get their flavors.
  • Now you can reduce the heat. You can add half and half now and get that to a gentle simmer. Keep on stirring occasionally. Depending on your preferences, season with pepper and salt.
  • You can also add spinach leaves into the mix and keep that to wilt in the sauce. Then you should be adding parmesan cheese. You should keep the sauce to simmer for one extra minute, so that cheese would melt through your sauce.
  • Now you can add your shrimp back into the pan. This is where you can sprinkle parsley and herbs. Make sure that you stir that thoroughly as well.

Now you are done with preparing Shrimp in Cream Sauce. Make sure that you serve that on top of any food you like. It can be rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.

Easy Baked Fish in Parchment with Orange and Olives
July 14, 2020

Easy Baked Fish in Parchment with Orange and Olives

INGREDIENT:

2 (6-ounce) firm white fish fillets such as Pacific halibut, Pacific rockfish or Pacific cod

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 cup diced zucchini and yellow summer squash, 1/4-inch cubes

1/4 cup pitted olives, halved

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup drained canned diced tomatoes

4 tablespoons chicken stock, fish stock or dry white wine

4 thin orange slices

2 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut two 16-inch squares of cooking parchment paper or use foil.
  • Lay both squares of parchment out onto your workbench. Season both sides of the fish with cinnamon, salt and pepper, and then place one fillet onto the middle of each parchment square.
  • Divide the olives, zucchini and yellow squash, tomatoes and olive oil between fillets, mounding them on top of the fish. Season with another pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper then pour two tablespoons of liquid (stock or wine) over each fillet. Top with orange slices and thyme.
  • To make packets, roll and crimp opposite sides of parchment paper together over fish and vegetables, then roll and crimp ends to prevent steam from escaping.
  • Place packets onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness of fillets. To check for doneness, carefully open one end of a packet. Transfer packets to plates for serving.
