Curried Shrimp Au Gratin image

A velvety white sauce holds together shrimp and rice with a wonderful au gratin topping.

Provided by Morrie Shepard Killian

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
3 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese, divided
1 pound shelled, deveined cooked shrimp
1 pinch paprika, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan, and cook the onion and celery over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk in the flour, salt, and curry powder until smooth; let cook for a minute or two. Gradually whisk in the milk, and bring almost to a boil, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese; whisk until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
  • Spread the cooked rice out into the prepared baking dish, and top with the cooked shrimp in an even layer. Cover the shrimp with the cheese sauce; push the tines of a fork all over the casserole between the shrimp to allow the sauce to soak into the rice. Top the casserole with the remaining Cheddar cheese, and garnish with paprika.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound large shrimp
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 3-inch piece fresh lemongrass, thinly sliced crosswise (optional)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh ginger
8 cardamom pods
2 cups unsalted tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup nonfat yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon garam masala (a spice blend available at Indian groceries and specialty-food stores)
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped mint or cilantro
12 sprigs cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel and devein shrimp, reserving shells and leaving tails intact. Cover; refrigerate.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic; cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add shrimp shells, curry, lemongrass, ginger, and cardamom. Cook, stirring often, until shells are pink and mixture is very aromatic, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 4 cups water, tomato juice, and salt. Raise heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, skimming off scum as necessary, about 1 hour.
  • Combine the yogurt, cucumber, garam masala, lemon juice, and chopped mint or cilantro; cover with plastic and refrigerate.
  • Strain stock, pressing on solids, into a clean medium saucepan. Return to a boil. Reduce heat so stock is at a bare simmer. Add shrimp; poach, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a dish; cover with foil. Raise heat to medium high; simmer liquid until it is reduced by about half, about 20 minutes. Pour the sauce over shrimp; garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with reserved cucumber relish.

Spicy Grilled Shrimp with Cucumber Cilantro Rice image

My mom's shrimp is one of my favorite Aussie recipes. The marinade is a lovely mix of honey, spices, citrus and fresh herbs, so for this version, I took those same building blocks and gave the dish a different flavor profile. Pair the shrimp with herbaceous cucumber cilantro rice and you've got a complete meal.

Provided by Claire Thomas : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons chili sauce (such as Heinz)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 wooden skewers
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup long-grain rice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth, heated until hot
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped cucumber
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Combine all of the ingredients except the shrimp in a medium bowl; whisk together. Add the shrimp and toss to combine. Let marinate in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours, if time allows. Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water so they don't burn on the grill.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or a grill pan for high heat. Thread about 4 shrimp onto each skewer, reserving the marinade for basting. Grill the shrimp until just firm, brushing with the marinade, 1 to 2 minutes per side (up to 3 minutes per side, if using a grill pan).
  • For the rice: In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the rice and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the rice smells a little nutty and is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook the rice according to the package directions (usually 15 to 25 minutes). Fluff the rice with a fork then fold in the cucumber, cilantro, scallions, olive oil and vinegar. Taste for seasoning.
  • Serve the rice with the shrimp skewers.

CURRIED SHRIMP WITH CUCUMBER VINAIGRETTE



Curried Shrimp With Cucumber Vinaigrette image

From a food magazine. I don't know which one since it was before I started with Zaar and didn't keep track. The cool cucumber vinaigrette balances the sweetness and mild heat of the curried shrimp. The recipe has this cook's note: viniagrette and shrimp can be prepared 1 day ahead of serving and chilled separately, covered.

Provided by Oolala

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
salt
pepper
1 lb large shrimp, about 20-24, shelled and deveined
1/2 tablespoon curry powder
1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cucumber, cut into sticks, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Puree the English cucumber with vinegar in a blender until smooth.
  • Add sesame oil and blend until emulsified.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pat shrimp dry and sprinkle with curry powder and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat 1 tablespoons vegetable oil in a 12" nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.

Tips

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include carrots, bell peppers, and celery.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
  • Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The vinaigrette can be made up to a day in advance, so you can save time when you're ready to make the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The shrimp will start to toughen up if it sits for too long.

Conclusion

This curried shrimp with cucumber vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing summer salad. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also great for potlucks and picnics. The combination of flavors and textures in this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
