Crunchy Shrimps

 Crunchy Shrimps

One more recipe in the fish "family".

I could only live with sea food. Shrimps are no exception :)

This recipe I also borrowed from some book that I can not remember right now. I don't even remember the exact recipe, only that You need to cover the shrimps with crumbles.

For this You'll need:

Shrimps (frozen or fresh, but boiled)

Crushed rusk or toast

Parsley

Parmesan cheese

Egg

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

I start with heating up the oven - 180 degrees will be enough. Then I prepare the crust. Mix the crushed rusk, or You can use very small and well crushed toast crumbles, with finely chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Don't forget some salt and pepper. Then whisk one egg in a separate bowl with just a little salt and pepper. Then take Your shrimps (unfrozen if they were and of course boiled first. If they are not boiled - just put them unfrozen or fresh for 2-3 min into boiling water and dry them well) and holding its tale put it in the egg to cover it all and then into the crumble-parsley mix. Do this with all of them and put them on a baking tin (first I cover it with baking paper to avoid all the washing. After the shrimps are done I just throw it away) and pour a little olive oil on so they don't get very dry. If You have any of the crumbles left just put them on top of the shrimps and maybe some of them will still stick. If You like cheese You can sprinkle even more Parmesan on top. Bake until they start to get brown and You see the crust getting darker - I would say around 10-15 min.

I did not write how many shrimps or other ingredients You will need because everything depends on what You have. Try to guess how much of the mix You could need :)

Fish meets bacon

Fish meets bacon

I love fish and I love fishing for it.

This is one very simple recipe for light dinner or a strong lunch.

What You need:

Any white fish filet

Bacon (How many? Bacon pieces = fish pieces)

Rosemary

Salt

Pepper

Olive oil

Sauce:

Mayonnaise

Lemon juice

Olive oil

What I do first is wash the fish a bit and then salt it. Not too much. You don't want it salty, just a little for the salt to push out the water from the fish. Then while the fish is sitting I prepare salad. Any salad that You like. Here You'll see simple salad that i make very often: salad leaves (I really like french ones called Frisee or Rucola, tomato, corn and dressing. Then the fish has been sitting long enough. Pour out the water and then I dry the fish with paper towel just to get it really dry. After that take some pepper and rosemary and put on the fish. The fish is ready. 

Then take a piece of bacon and wrap around the fish. Spread it a little, don't roll it in one place because then not the whole piece will have this great bacon taste. And You're ready to cook. Heat the pan with some olive oil and cook until the outside of the fish starts to become  little brown. But always make sure that it is well cooked. If You don't want it to even more crispy You can cook it in an oven. Or if You have prepared the fish first before the salad, keep it in the oven to keep it warm and crispy. 

Then serve with the mayonnaise sauce. Mix two spoons of mayonnaise, one tea spoon of lemon juice and one tea spoon of olive oil. I also like to put some pepper and some Dijon mustard to spice it up :) With salad on the side it's a perfect fast and easy meal.
