Shrimps with tomatoes in creamy sauce
Did you know that shrimps take upthe championship among all seafood in terms of iodine content? That is why experts strongly recommend that mothers periodically include them in their children's diet. If your baby does not have allergies, then this recipe will help in the fight for the child's health. Shrimp in a delicate creamy cheese sauce are very appetizing and juicy. They can be eaten as a separate dish, or as part of other dishes. For example, by boiling Italian spaghetti and mixing it with seafood, you will get real pasta. Spicy food is contraindicated for children, so this recipe will need to be slightly modified for them - exclude chili peppers and spices. Ingredients:
- a small piece of butter
- royal prawns - 250 grams
- a tablespoon of olive oil
- a few pinch of common salt
- chili pepper add to your taste
- one garlic clove
- 150 grams of cream
- fresh parsley
- 50 grams of elite blue cheese
- freshly ground white pepper - optional
Method of preparation:The recipe for this dish is very simple, so even the most inexperienced novice cook can master it. We recommend using king prawns, as they are more meaty, juicy and look great in combination with the other ingredients. However, keep in mind that they are a little more expensive than regular ones. So, start preparing your future masterpiece by peeling the seafood. After you have completed this task, melt the butter in a double boiler (you can do this in a frying pan). Then, combine it with olive oil and pour the mixture into a preheated saucepan. Fry the shrimp, constantly turning them over with a spatula from one side to the other, until golden brown. As soon as the seafood turns slightly pink, add finely chopped garlic, as well as chili and white pepper. Then pour the cream into the dish and simmer under a closed lid; so as not to spoil your creation, make the fire minimal. When some of the liquid has evaporated, add thinly sliced cheese and table salt and mix the ingredients thoroughly. Place the finished dish in a large, beautiful plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs, chopping them as finely as possible. Enjoy! If you can’t buy fresh shrimp, use frozen ones. Leave them on the table for a while (about an hour) so that they thaw. Then rinse under the tap, throw them in a colander, and when they dry, take the recipe in your hands and start creating!
Juicy shrimps "For adults" in creamy-cognac sauce
But this recipe is no longer suitable for children, becauseits composition includes cognac. However, this does not mean that the dish has a pronounced smell and taste of alcohol. The shrimps turn out with a light cognac-cream note. It is due to the milk component that the dish is very tender, “soft” and incredibly appetizing! It is impossible to convey its taste in words - you just need to feel it, so do not delay with the preparation. Ingredients:
- 300 grams of any shrimp (preferably royal)
- 150 grams of grated cheese
- olive oil - for greasing dishes
- seasonings - according to your taste
- one ripe tomato
- two tablespoons of good cognac
- salt
- 10 grams of fresh parsley or dill
- one glass of not too fat cream
Method of preparation:Your first task is to boil the shrimp, lightly salting the water. If you want to emphasize the sea smell of the products and give them a specific pleasant taste, we recommend adding a small bunch of fresh herbs. Put it directly into the pan. You can also add half a lemon, having previously squeezed the juice out of it. Believe me, it will turn out quite appetizing! So, after boiling the seafood for about two or three minutes, drain the excess liquid and throw them into a colander. In the meantime, cover the baking sheet with special paper and grease it with not too much olive oil. Then grate the cheese into strips and lay it on the parchment in the form of several circles (as a result, you should get peculiar pancakes). Send it to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees. After five minutes, take the product out, carefully remove the cheese cakes and “put” them on upside-down molds (for example, small bowls or coffee cups), press them with your hands to the edges of the dish and leave to cool. This recipe is especially useful for special occasions, because the dish served in such baskets looks very impressive and beautiful. Now you should prepare the sauce: mix the broth in which the shrimp were cooked with cream, table salt, and cognac, and add seasonings to your taste. Put the resulting dressing on low heat and boil, stirring constantly. You do not need to keep the dish on the stove for too long - four minutes is enough. There is very little left - to combine all the products together. Here is a little advice: to make the dish more tender and tasty, peel the tomatoes. It is very easy: make a cut on top of the vegetable and pour boiling water over it. Let it sit for 60 seconds, then carefully peel it with a knife. Cut the tomato into small pieces and, mixing it with the shrimp, place it in the cheese baskets. Pour over the aromatic cream sauce and garnish with fresh herbs. This appetizer looks great on the festive table and is sure to arouse the interest of the guests. Everyone will leave full and happy! This same dish can be prepared in a different way, slightly changing the recipe. If you don’t want to mess around with the baskets, just make a unique salad of shrimp and tomatoes, season it with cream sauce, and boil rice noodles or pasta, you will get a more satisfying main course.
Seafood with broccoli and champignons in tender sauce
This recipe includes broccoli, whichhas a specific taste. If you don’t like it, you can replace it with asparagus or, for example, green beans. As for champignons, if you don’t have fresh ones, use canned ones. However, you don’t need to stew them — just cut the product and add it to the shrimp. Ingredients:
- 400 grams of broccoli
- small lemon
- 20 grams of fresh parsley (can use dried)
- 500 grams of champignons

- half kilo of shrimp
- salt - at your discretion

Method of preparation:Place the peeled shrimp in a saucepan with water, add a couple of pinches of salt and a bunch of greens. If you don’t have fresh ones, use frozen ones. As for the lemon, divide it into two parts with a knife, squeeze the juice from each part into boiling water and throw the remaining citrus here. In order not to waste a single extra minute, take care of the other products. Now you need to prepare the champignons and broccoli. Follow the instructions below: cut the mushrooms into thin slices and put them in a saucepan with heated olive oil. When they release juice, add broccoli and simmer over low heat for no more than five minutes. Then place all of the above ingredients in a heat-resistant dish. Lightly salt and pepper to your taste, add soft cream, which should cover the products exactly halfway. If desired, you can sprinkle the dish with special aromatic spices, then decorate it with grated cheese, cover with a lid and put it in the oven. It will take about half an hour to cook the dish further. This is a fairly "diet" recipe, because shrimp and broccoli themselves are low in calories, use low-fat cream. This dish is a real storehouse of nutrients (potassium, zinc, iodine, proteins), health and energy, so take it with you to work. Having a snack during lunch, you will immediately feel the strength to do further work. So the day will pass productively and unnoticed! By the way, this dish can be made with both fresh and dried mushrooms. In the latter case, pour boiling water over them and let them brew for a while. Then fry them together with cabbage in a frying pan.
