GINGER CILANTRO SHRIMP W/JASMINE RICE



GINGER CILANTRO SHRIMP W/JASMINE RICE image

Categories     Ginger     Herb     Mushroom     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 13

2lbs med Shrimp
Fresh Ginger Root
Sweet Chili Sauce
Large Vidalia Onion
Fresh Garlic (2-4 cloves)
Fresh Cilantro (1 good bunch)
Shiitake Mushrooms (1-1/2lbs or 2 pre sliced pkgs)
Red Pepper Flakes
Chicken Broth
Fresh Limes and Lemons
Jasmine Rice
Sea Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper

Steps:

  • Boil your Jasmine rice and leave in the steamer till ur ready to serve. Peel and devein your shrimp, cut into 3 pieces(doing this makes sure that every bite has shrimp in it), season w/sea salt & fresh cracked pepper, a little fresh lime juice and set aside. Clean and slice up your shiitake mushrooms and set aside. Just use the caps as the roots are sometimes tough. To clean, just brush off lightly with a clean & slightly damp kitchn towel. Clean your ginger root (just brush any dirt off as I use the skin as well) & peel your garlic and onion. Wash ur Cilantro and put about a handful to the side for later and the rest you'll chop up with ur onions & garlic. In food processor on pulse chop up your ginger root, garlic, onions, and cilantro together to make the base of the sauce. I like it to be minced well but not too fine.(I like to get a little bite of ginger every now and again). In a non reactive pan or non-stick skillet, put in a little olive oil to sautee your mushrooms,ginger, garlic, onions and cilantro. As the mushrooms will make a natural broth be careful not to add too much chicken broth at this point. You're looking for a saucy consistency...a little thick not too thin)Add in ur sweet chili sauce following the same rule as the chicken broth (not too much but to taste depending on how hot you want it). Let everything marry together for a few, taste it and if you want add some fresh lemon and or lime juice. U can also add at this time some red pepper flakes if u want more of a kick. Taste it again and if the base meets your liking, you can now toss in the shrimp and let them cook in the sauce till they just turn pink (be sure not to over cook the shrimp as they'll become rubbery if you let them go too long. Once the shrimp are nice and pink remove pan from the heat and u can start plating up your dish. With the cilantro you put to the side...do a quick rough chop and sprinkle on top of the dish to make final presentation.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ginger and cilantro add a vibrant flavor to the rice. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes the starch and helps it cook evenly.
  • Use a tight-fitting lid when cooking the rice: This helps the rice cook evenly and prevents it from drying out.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb the flavors of the ginger and cilantro.
  • Garnish the rice with additional cilantro and ginger: This adds a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Ginger cilantro rice is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to add a pop of flavor and color to your meal. The ginger and cilantro add a unique flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. This dish is also a good source of fiber and nutrients. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give ginger cilantro rice a try. You won't be disappointed!
