Sustainable Seafood Recipes
Posted on | November 12, 2009 | No Comments
A few weeks ago, SOP wrote about “Teach a Man to Fish,” a blog event promoting sustainable seafood by encouraging people to share recipes. Today, Jacqueline Church posted the 2009 Recipe Roundup of the event on her blog. Check out all the recipes….especially SOP’s featured recipe, Maine Shrimp Fra Diavolo. It’s simple and delicious. If your fishmonger is offering Maine Shrimp this winter, buy it and make this dish:
Maine Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Maine Shrimp Fra Diavolo
1 pound Maine shrimp (aka pink or northern shrimp), peeled
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 2 tbsp for sauteing
1 medium white or yellow onion, 1/8″ slices
1 (28 oz) can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed with hands or roughly chopped
1 cup dry white wine
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or combination), chopped
Toss shrimp in a bowl with salt, red pepper flakes, and 3 tbsp of olive oil. Heat a large and heavy skillet over medium high. Add shrimp and saute for a maximum of two minutes by tossing them around the skillet to cook evenly. When almost cooked through, transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside. Add onions and 2 tbsp of olive oil to the skillet and saute until translucent (no browning!) about five minutes. Add tomatoes and their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce slightly thickens, about ten minutes. Return shrimp and their juices to the mixture in the skillet. Toss and cook for about another minute. Stir in fresh herbs. Taste and add salt accordingly.
Serve with grilled slices of rustic Italian bread (Anne Burrell-style): Grill bread on a stove-top grill pan or outside grill until you see slightly charred grill marks. When hot, rub bread very lightly with a fresh garlic clove. The garlic will almost melt into the bread. Finish each slice of bread with drizzles of the most expensive olive oil you can afford.
