    alright iron chefs......today's secret ingredient is shrimps ! i like these even better than crawfish because i think you can do more with them (at least i can). before we big.....what is a shrimps?

    definition 1: A small shellfish which can be fried, boiled, smothered, etc. and is used in many cajun dishes.

    definition 2: America's most popular shellfish, the best shrimp is, of course, freshly caught and fairly local. Most shrimp is frozen however.

    definition 3: a small shellfish with a long tail and lots of legs.

    ok. now that we know all about shrimps, on to the recipes.

    this first one is per the culinary school of new orleans....one question though. why would they give you directions to make 1 serving and creole sauce to serve 39? maybe the kids screw up cooking the shrimps.

    Garlic and Shrimp Pasta Toss

    Ingredients
    • 1 pound fresh or frozen large shrimp in shells
    • 1 large garlic bulb
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 red or yellow sweet pepper, quartered lengthwise
    • 1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
    • 3 cups packaged dried cavatelli (curled shells) or bow tie pasta (farfalle) (about 8 ounces)
    • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/3 cup shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese

    1. Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact. Rinse shrimp; pat dry with paper towels. Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill.
    2. With a sharp knife, cut off the top 1/2 inch from garlic bulb to expose the ends of the individual cloves. Leaving garlic bulb whole, remove any loose, papery outer layers.
    3. Fold an 18x9-inch piece of heavy foil in half to make a 9-inch square. Place garlic bulb, cut side up, in center of foil. Drizzle bulb with 1-1/2 teaspoons of the oil. Bring up opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose garlic, leaving room for steam to build.
    4. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place garlic on greased grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 30 minutes. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.)
    5. Meanwhile, thread shrimp onto long metal skewers, leaving a 1/4-inch space between pieces. In a small bowl combine the remaining oil and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice; brush over shrimp and vegetables.
    6. Add skewers to grill over drip pan; add vegetables to grill directly over coals. Cover and grill for 8 to 10 minutes more or until garlic is soft, shrimp are opaque, and vegetables are tender, turning shrimp and vegetables once halfway through grilling. Remove from grill. Cool garlic and vegetables slightly. Coarsely chop vegetables.
    7. While shrimp and vegetables are grilling, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Return pasta to hot pan.
    8. Squeeze garlic pulp into a small bowl. Thoroughly mash garlic pulp. Add butter, salt, and black pepper; mix well. In a large bowl combine pasta and garlic mixture; toss to coat. Add shrimp, vegetables, remaining lemon juice, and cheese; toss gently to mix. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

When working with chili peppers, put plastic bags over your hands or wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chili peppers, wash your hands well with soap and warm water.

    hey. i like this next guy alot. very talented chef.

    Chef John Folse`s Shrimp Remoulade

    1 1/2 cup heavy-duty mayonnaise
    1/2 cup Creole mustard
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
    1/2 cup finely diced green onions
    1/4 cup finely diced celery
    2 tablespoons minced garlic
    1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
    1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
    salt and cracked black pepper to taste
    3 dozen (21-25 count) boiled shrimp, peeled and deveined

    In a mixing bowl, combine all of the above ingredients, whisking well to incorporate the seasonings. Once blended, cover and place in the refrigerator, preferably overnight. A minimum of four hours will be required for flavor to be developed. When ready, remove from refrigerator and adjust seasonings to taste. Place six shrimp on a leaf of romaine or other colored lettuce and spoon a generous serving of remoulade sauce on top of the shrimp. Do not sauce shrimp prior to service, as they will lose their firm texture.
