SPICY SHRIMP NEW ORLEANS STYLE

A little heat, a little sweet and a whole lot of flavor!

 

¼ CUP FRESH PARSLEY LEAVES

¼ CUP FRESH BASIL LEAVES

½ CUP OLIVE OIL

½ CUP CIDER VINEGAR

½ CUP MUSTARD

¼ CUP PREPRED HORSERADISH

2 GREEN ONIONS – finely chopped

1 CELERY RIB – finely chopped

2 TB KETCHUP – or to taste

PINCH OF SUGAR – optional

2 TSP PAPRIKA

PINCH OF SALT – to taste

¼ TSP TABASCO SAUCE – to taste

 

1 LARGE GARLIC CLOVE – minced

SPRINKLE OF BLACK PEPPER – to taste

3-3 ½ LBS LARGE SHRIMP – cooked and peeled

 

Add parsley, oil, vinegar, mustard, ketchup, horseradish, scallions, celery, garlic, paprika, sugar, Tabasco, salt, pepper to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until almost smooth with just a little texture – about 30 or 40 seconds.

With a spatula, scrape into a separate bowl that will be large enough to hold the shrimp.

Add the shrimp, stir well until all combined, refrigerate covered for 8-10 hours.

Serve over cooked rice for a warm meal or shredded iceberg lettuce for a cool dish. Pass additional marinade to spoon over shrimp.

NOTE: when I make this dish to serve as a warm dish over cooked rice, I increase the marinade by half as my family likes to pour it on!

 

BUON MANGIATA!
