Curious as to what is the consensus. I’m partial to shrimp and Tasso pasta and plain boiled shrimp and shrimp stew but always wanted to try shrimp/pasta with an olive oil base not cream.

Too many to list, so just pick one you like and go with it.

I could go off on shrimp dishes like Bubba from Forest Gump fame.

Scampi or boiled

When I just want some shrimp fast, I like to just saute with garlic, butter, crushed red pepper, shallot, and Italian seasoning.

If it hasn’t been frozen yet, fried or boiled with heads on.

I love all sorts of shrimp dishes, but I find the ones I freeze in bags of water do just as fine for gumbos, stews and pastas with cream sauce as those never frozen. But you can taste the difference for fresh, never frozen ones fried in light batter or boiled. At least my mind thinks I can.

from the recipe collection,
This was the first dish I ever had sun-dried tomatoes in and it was from the Creole Tomato Festival.

Don't let the amount of cayenne scare you. This dish is not hot. I use more shrimp and tomatoes than called for and sub spinach for the arugula in a pinch.

Pasta Rosa Maximo's

The inspiration of a young lady named Rosa, who enjoyed the mixture of Italian sun-dried tomatoes and arugula, this zesty pasta dish has become one of Maximo's signature items. Pasta Rosa could be described as a Creole-Italian sauce using traditional methods and innovative ingredients.

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
8 Tbs chopped garlic
8 oz medium shrimp, peeled
8 oz Arugula leaves or fresh spinach
1/2 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, softened and julienned
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1 lb Tortellini, precooked (or your choice)

Heat oil, add cayenne pepper; the oil will turn a bright orange. Adjust to spicy or mild. Add garlic, sauté until lightly brown. Add shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula and salt. Sauté until shrimp is done and the arugula is wilted.

Toss in pasta and Romano cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley. Extra Romano on the side.

Servings: 4

Did you ever have this dish? I understand in later years, this name was applied to a somewhat different cream-based dish.

The recipe above was from the Times-Picayune.

BBQ shrimp



16 jumbo shrimp (12 per pound, about 1 1/2 pounds), with heads and unpeeled
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
French bread as accompaniment

In a large skillet combine shrimp, Worcestershire, lemon juice, black peppers, Creole seasoning, and garlic and cook over moderately high heat until shrimp turn pink, about 1 minute on each side. Reduce heat to moderate and stir in butter, a few cubes at a time, stirring constantly and adding more only when butter is melted. Remove skillet from heat. Place shrimp in a bowl and pour sauce over top. Serve with French bread for dipping.

Hard to beat some fresh shrimp boulettes made with some 36-40 Brown Shrimp caught in Lake Boudreaux.
