Addictive Lazy, Marinated Shrimp
One of my June recipes for Beyond Celiac (formerly National Foundation for Celiac Awareness). Just in time for Memorial Weekend and start of summer bbqs.
I don't know about you, but far too often when I buy pre cooked, frozen shrimp, they needed to be cooked just that little bit more, otherwise they definitely have the taste and texture of undercooked shrimp.
I had some bought, cooked shrimp left over. Heated a skillet, large enough to take the shrimp in one layer. Add Marconi Italian Herb dipping oil ($3.99 for 12 oz bottle in my local Market Basket) to pan, let heat, add shrimp, more oil if you want, cook turning for minute or two. Turn off heat and either serve straight away or put into serving dish and let go cold with dipping oil before serving. This dipping oil has a nice bite of heat without being vicious. I then toasted some Against the Grain tapioca cheese rolls and drizzled some of the dipping oil on top so I didn't waste any of the oil. So tasty, easy, indulge dad for Father's day or parties anytime. Add more raw garlic to pan, lemon zest, fresh herbs if you want for even more burst of flavor. Yes, you could cook raw shrimp this way, but juices released by shrimp dilute the dipping oil. www.cataniausa.com.
I also add a tablespoon or so of dipping oil to fresh salad dressing, mayo, quinoa salads, tuna or chicken salad, where you want an extra oomph of flavor. Marconi also make garlic oil (same price) that is suitable for FODMAP diet.
I recently made onion oil for FODMAP diet. Trying to figure out what else is affecting my son on top of cd and cf. Peel and finely chop huge yellow onion, put in 4 cup pan, cover with oil you prefer and leave to cook extremely slowly until onions have almost dissolved and disappeared. Strain oil through coffee filter into glass jar, refrigerate and use instead of onions for FODMAP. At April's Boston Celiac Symposium Kate Scarlatta said you could have green of green onions and chives instead of onions, or onion oil. If you use olive oil, remember that it will solidify like melted refrigerated butter in the fridge and you can just spoon out how much you want.
