I created this appetizer when I had some leftover phyllo dough in the freezer. It's perfect for a party because it looks elegant but is easy to make. I serve the shrimp with two sauces, so guests can decide if they're in a sweet or spicy mood. -Sonali Ruder, New York, New York

YUCATAN SHRIMP



Yucatan Shrimp image

This is a dinner to evoke deep summer, when the heat lies heavy even at dusk and humidity wraps you like a blanket: shrimp tossed in garlic butter made fiery with Indonesian sambal and jalapeño, cut by lime, fragrant with cilantro. It is a kind of scampi for the sun-kissed and sun-desirous alike, a vacation on a plate. Add a mojito and a couple of beers. The recipe comes out of southwest Florida, from Doc Ford's Sanibel Rum Bar and Grille, a restaurant that sits off the road that runs slow and sultry along Sanibel Island toward Captiva, past the placid, russet waters of Tarpon Bay. Randy Wayne White, one of the owners, named the place after the fictional protagonist of his mystery novels. The air smells of salt and mangrove there, of tropical rot and fresh-cut grass. He graciously sent along a recipe, which we adapted for use at home, in 2010.

Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large clove garlic, minced
Juice of two large limes
1 tablespoon Indonesian sambal (preferably sambal oelek, by Huy Fong, though sriracha will work as well)
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound large, fresh, shell-on shrimp
1 teaspoon jalapeño, seeded and chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter to saucepan. When it melts, stir in the lime juice, chili sauce, salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and allow the sauce to rest.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes or until they are just firm and pink. Do not overcook. Drain into a colander and shake over the sink to remove excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, toss the shrimp and chili sauce. Add jalapeño, if desired, sprinkle with cilantro and toss again.

Tips

- Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than shrimp that has been frozen. - Devein the shrimp before cooking. Deveining removes the digestive tract from the shrimp, which can give the shrimp a bitter taste. - Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. - Chill the shrimp before serving. Chilled shrimp will be more refreshing and flavorful. - Serve the shrimp cocktail with a variety of dipping sauces, such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade.
