BLACK PEPPER SHRIMP



Black Pepper Shrimp image

This dish, adapted from Lucy Carvalho, the cookbook author Nik Sharma's grandmother, owes its fragrance and fiery bite to a generous amount of crushed black peppercorns in a velvety gravy. Like many other Indian home cooks, Ms. Carvalho, who lived in the coastal city of Mumbai, took the Indo-Chinese dish black pepper chicken and substituted shrimp instead. Some versions of this dish call for curry leaves to be fried with the spices, or they might call for another protein in place of the shrimp, like tilapia, cod or catfish. Here, the peppercorns are infused in hot oil, then left to steep as the dish cooks. Fish sauce bolsters the savoriness, but can be left out. For an even stronger bump of heat, increase the amount of black pepper and toss in a sliced serrano. Serve it all over rice for a fast, satisfying dinner.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black peppercorns
1 small white onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
6 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and grated
1 medium green bell pepper, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium red bell pepper, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pound peeled, deveined raw medium shrimp (fresh or frozen)
2 teaspoons soy sauce, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Add the black peppercorns and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and half the scallions, and sauté, scraping the bottom of the pot as necessary, until the onions turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the green and red bell peppers and sauté until they begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp and sauté for 1 minute, then stir in 2 cups water, the soy sauce and fish sauce (if using). Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink, about 2 minutes. (Keep an eye on them: The shrimp can turn rubbery quickly.)
  • Working quickly as the liquid cooks, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Add this mixture to the saucepan as soon as the shrimp turns pink, and cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add more soy sauce, to taste, if desired. Garnish with the cilantro and remaining scallions. Serve hot or warm with rice.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound jumbo shrimp, preferably head-on
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
2 teaspoons white peppercorns
1 1/2 tablespoons Maldon sea salt
3 tablespoons safflower oil
Vietnamese Dipping Sauce for Pepper Shrimp
8 sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place six to eight 10-inch wooden skewers in cold water for 10 minutes to soak. This will prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Starting with the tail end of each shrimp, gently push a skewer under the shell along the back of the shrimp until it just comes to the head. Set shrimp on a baking sheet; set aside.
  • Preheat a grill pan or grill to medium-high.
  • Using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, coarsely grind both peppercorns. In a small bowl, mix together ground peppercorns and salt. Drizzle shrimp with safflower oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper mixture.
  • Place shrimp on grill and cook until prawns become light pink and slightly charred, about 2 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until shrimp are cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes more. Serve with dipping sauce, garnished with cilantro.

BLACK PEPPER SHRIMP (PAULA DEEN)



Black Pepper Shrimp (Paula Deen) image

This recipe from Paula Deen of Food Network couldn't be easier. It seems like a LOT of black pepper, but trust me--it works. You get it all over your fingers as you shell the shrimp and eat them, so have some wet wash cloths rolled up and ready. This cooks up in just a few minutes, so have the rest of your dinner ready before you start (I suggest a hearty salad and bread).

Provided by Frank Tiu

1 lb frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on
1 cup cornstarch
3 cups oil
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, sliced
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons black pepper
¼ cup scallions, sliced
white rice, cooked, for serving

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Add the shrimp to a medium bowl. Cover with cold water and let sit until thawed, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the thawed shrimp on paper towels and pat dry.
  • Place the cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss until well-coated.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large pan until it reaches 400°F (200°C).
  • Add the garlic and fry for 40 seconds-1 minute, until golden brown. Remove the garlic with a strainer or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Fry the shrimp, about 6 at a time, for 2 minutes, or until light golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and ensure your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use organic or local ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking shrimp, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick together.
  • Cook the shrimp in small batches: If you're cooking a lot of shrimp, cook them in small batches. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Season the shrimp well: Shrimp is a mild-flavored seafood, so it's important to season it well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to add flavor to your dish.
