Preparing Shrimp With Crab Meat Stuffing

Video Transcript

"Okay so our shrimps are ready for the oven. I'm going to add the shrimp shells on this side over here that would give off more seafood essences to our poaching liquid a very, very good flavor. Make sure all of your tails stand out over the stuffing. Just like so. So what we are going to do first let me add a little bit more water, there we go. Maybe a little bit more lemon and what we are going to do is bring this to a boil on the stove top. Then we are going to cover it and place it in the oven. It will poach in the oven for about ten minutes. You would know when it done when the shrimp turns a light orange color and the tails turn orange, the color. So that is when we know that we are done and from that point we would make our basil cream sauce. So to the burner we would bring this to a boil and then we would go directly to the oven. Again I keep the shrimp shells off to the side so once this is all done it would be easy to find all the shells and get the out of the liquid so you can make your sauce. This is really nice I recommend serving this with some nice wild rice that is always good. Fresh vegetables, very nice dish. So we would cook this for about ten minutes that is all about the time we would need. Once the shrimp is cooked we would remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and we would remove the shells. Reduce the poaching liquid, add fresh basil, heavy whipping cream, a little salt and pepper, lemon and we would have a beautiful sauce for this fine shrimp dish. "
