Paprika

Paprika is a ground red spice derived from the flesh of a dried mild pepper. The intensity of both the color and flavor of paprika depend on the peppers used to make it. Most of the bright red paprika used today is the mild Spanish type, which is slightly sweet. This paprika, often used more for its color than flavor, gives French dressing its vibrant color.

  3. Barbecue Shrimp – So Good, and So Not Barbecued

    Tue, 14 May 2013

    No one’s really sure why this magnificent dish is called barbecue shrimp, but since it was invented in New Orleans, let’s just assume they had a great reason, and move on to more important issues, like making and eating a huge plate of these. There are countless ways to make this dish, almost all containing copious amounts of butter, along with garlic, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. This is not something you’d serve to your friend with the bland palate. By the way, can’t believe you’re still friends with that bland palate dude. Anyway, feel free to adjust and adapt to your heart’s content. My version is fairly light, which is kind of funny to s ay , since I call for half a stick of butter, but I’ve seen versions that were basically deep-fried in the stuff . So, you know, compared to t hat , this is like spa food. As far as seasoning goes, be careful with the salt. The Worcestershire is pretty salty, so you may not want to add it all to the shrimp stock like I did. I used about 3 generous tablespoons, since I like mine pretty salty, but it’s probably safer to just add 1 or 2 tablespoons , and t hen taste /a djust later on. Other than that, and finding some colossal shrimp (the bigger the better), this recipe is a breeze. It may not have anything to do with barbecue, but like its namesake, it’s incredibly delicious and another great culinary gift from the south. I hope you try some soon. Enjoy! Ingredients for 4 servings: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds colossal shrimp 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste 1/4 tsp smoked paprika 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper 1/8 tsp Old Bay seasoning, optional 4 tbsp cold butter, cut in cubes 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp minced fresh rosemary 1 1/2 cups shrimp stock (using reserved shells, sauteed in 1 tsp butter, and simmered with 2 cups stock or water for 20-30 min) juice of 1 lemon hot s auce to taste   2-3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, or to taste lots of white rice
