CHILE-CRISP SHRIMP AND GREEN BEANS



Chile-Crisp Shrimp and Green Beans image

This stir-fry is inspired by the taste and textures of chile crisp, that fiery condiment made by infusing oil with dried chiles, garlic and shallots. For this 20-minute recipe, make a quick version of the oil while the shrimp marinates in a combination of soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Use the infused oil to cook the green beans (or asparagus), shrimp and peanuts, then serve topped with the fried shallots and garlic. It's a deeply savory, spicy and satisfying dinner.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 large shallot, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced through the root
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 cinnamon stick
10 ounces green beans or asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Set aside while you fry the shallots and garlic.
  • Place a fine-mesh sieve over a heat-proof bowl next to the stove. In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil, shallot, garlic and cinnamon stick over medium-high. When the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the shallots, until golden brown, 5 to 9 minutes. (Lower the heat if the shallots are browning too quickly.) Drain through the sieve, catching the oil in the bowl below. Discard the cinnamon, season the fried shallots and garlic with salt, and set aside.
  • Return the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the green beans, season with salt and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Push the green beans to one side, then add the shrimp and the marinade, along with the peanuts (if using), and cook until the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stir the green beans and shrimp to combine, then sprinkle with the fried shallots and garlic. Serve immediately, over rice or noodles, or in lettuce cups, if desired.

SHEET-PAN GOCHUJANG SHRIMP AND GREEN BEANS



Sheet-Pan Gochujang Shrimp and Green Beans image

Say hello to your broiler, that super-intense direct heat source in your oven that, like a grill, crisps food fast. (It's either in the top of your oven or in the pull-out drawer below.) While it heats, toss shrimp and green beans in a fiery sauce of gochujang (a Korean fermented chile paste), soy sauce and honey, then broil for mere minutes. Just five minutes! The shrimp and green beans emerge with blistered outsides and snappy insides, reminiscent of Sichuan dry-fried green beans, while the sauce and the caramelized char make quick work of building deep, addictive flavors. Serve with rice, noodles or lettuce leaves. To make it vegetarian, swap shrimp for quick-cooking vegetables, edamame or well-drained tofu.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons gochujang
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons honey
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound green beans, trimmed

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack as close to the broiler as possible. (If your broiler is in a drawer below the oven, skip this step.) Heat broiler for at least 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the gochujang, olive oil, soy sauce and honey until smooth and emulsified. Add the shrimp and green beans and stir to coat.
  • On a foil-lined baking sheet, spread the shrimp and string beans evenly in a single layer, leaving behind any excess marinade. Broil until the beans are charred in spots and the shrimp is cooked through, about 5 minutes. (Depending on your broiler, you may need to rotate the pan after 2 or 3 minutes so all the food gets exposure under the heat source.)

SHRIMP AND COCONUT CURRY WITH GREEN BEANS



Shrimp and Coconut Curry With Green Beans image

This recipe from December 2010 Bon Appetit was just as good as it looked. DH and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to many of the ingredients going into the food processor, prep was not too laborious. Although the recipe did not specify, we served over jasmine rice, which worked really well.

Provided by Dr. Jenny

Categories     Curries

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 lb green beans, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
3 stalks lemongrass
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2/3 cup coarsely chopped shallot
1/4 cup coarsely chopped seeded, jalapeno chile
2 tablespoons indian curry powder (such as Madras)
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped peeled, fresh ginger
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil, plus sliced leaves for garnish
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk
2 1/2 lbs uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
lime wedge

Steps:

  • Cook green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Cut 2 inches from bottom of each lemongrass stalk; discard tops. Thinly slice bottom pieces; place in processor. Add next five ingredients, chopped basil, and 1/4 cup water. Blend until paste forms.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add curry paste; cook, stirring often, until dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk; bring to simmer. Add shrimp; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Add green beans; stir to heat through. Season curry with salt and pepper. Transfer curry to serving bowl; garnish with basil. Serve with lime wedges (we served over jasmine rice).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will help to prevent the shrimp and green beans from overcrowding and steaming instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry the shrimp and green beans over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the shrimp and prevent the green beans from becoming soggy.
  • Add the sauce to the skillet or wok towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve the shrimp and green beans immediately. This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chinese shrimp and green beans is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its simple ingredients and quick cooking time, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy meal, give Chinese shrimp and green beans a try!
