Cumin-Lime Shrimp With Ginger image

These quick, flavorful shrimp are versatile enough to work their way into an assortment of weeknight dinners. Fold into soft tortillas and top with sliced avocado for shrimp tacos, or serve over steamed rice studded with tomatoes, chiles and fresh herbs. They also work well served on top of a red or green cabbage salad. If cumin's not your thing, feel free to swap in another dried, warm spice, such as coriander or curry powder.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined (16 to 20 shrimp)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon grated garlic
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
Flaky salt (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp and the cumin until well coated. Season with kosher salt and toss again.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add half the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook undisturbed until they just start turning pink, about 1 minute. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more, then remove from the pan and set aside. They may not be fully cooked at this time, and that's O.K. Repeat with remaining shrimp and leave in the pan.
  • Add the reserved shrimp back to the pan with any juices that have accumulated. Stir in the ginger, garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring to make sure the garlic doesn't burn. Add the lime juice to pan and scrape up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture is reduced by about half, about 1 minute more. Stir in the lime zest and scatter with the cilantro. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

GINGER-LIME SHRIMP



Ginger-Lime Shrimp image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled, deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
10 mint leaves, julienned
10 basil leaves, julienned

Steps:

  • Divide the shrimp between two 8- or 9-inch pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
  • Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn the heat to high. When the foam subsides, invert a pie pan of shrimp over the skillet so they fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other pan of shrimp. Cook the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn off the heat. Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the ginger, lime juice and zest, mint, and basil to each pan, and shake to combine.
  • Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

QUINOA SALAD WITH LIME GINGER DRESSING AND SHRIMP



Quinoa Salad With Lime Ginger Dressing and Shrimp image

This salad has a ginger lime dressing, scallions, cilantro and a bit of heat. Can be served as a side dish or a light meal. Cooked quinoa will keep for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. You can make the dressing and prepare the ingredients for the salad a few hours ahead. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is not a grain; it is actually a seed and related to the spinach family. When cooked, quinoa is light, fluffy, slightly crunchy and subtly flavored. It actually cooks and tastes like a grain, making it an excellent replacement for grains that are difficult to digest. Compared to other grains, quinoa is higher in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc than wheat, barley, or corn. Published in the New York Times, Nov. 8, 2008.

TIGER SHRIMP WITH LIME, GINGER, AND MUSTARD SEEDS



Tiger Shrimp With Lime, Ginger, and Mustard Seeds image

Shrimp are quick to cook, but still manage to feel rather special. This recipe borrows spices from the southern shores of India; I tasted a dish similar to this when I was learning about the local cuisine. At first, you get pure heat from the chiles; when it subsides, you're left with delicate and delicious flavors. Here, I have toned down the chiles and added some background warmth by using fresh ginger instead. I've used tiger shrimp and removed most of the shell, apart from the tail. I prefer to leave the tail on, as it means that you have something to hold on to when biting into the shrimp, but you can take the entire shell off if you prefer. Just make sure the shrimp are raw and that they have been deveined.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp black mustard seeds
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp black peppercorns, crushed with a pestle and mortar
20 fresh curry leaves (optional)
2 scallions, finely sliced
1 fresh red chile, finely sliced
1 tbsp peeled and julienned fresh ginger
20 raw jumbo shrimp, shells removed but tails left on, deveined
Good pinch of sea salt
Good drizzle of honey
2 tbsp roughly chopped cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lime, to taste

Steps:

  • Gently heat the oil in a large skillet and add the cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, turmeric, peppercorns and curry leaves (if using). Once they start to sizzle, stir through the scallions, chile and ginger and allow to soften for around a minute.
  • Stir in the shrimp and watch how they turn to a golden pink color. Flip them over and sprinkle over a good pinch of salt. Once they are cooked through-and it won't take long, only a few minutes on each side-drizzle over the honey and sprinkle in half the cilantro and the lime juice. Mix well and serve sprinkled with the remaining cilantro.

GINGER-SOY-LIME- MARINATED SHRIMP image

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large shallots, peeled and chopped
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, from about 4 large limes
2 Tbs. sugar
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup peanut oil
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
2 pounds large shrimp, shells and tails on

Steps:

  • Place shallots, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice and sugar in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add the green onions and oil, and blend until combined. Season with black pepper, to taste. Place shrimp in a large bowl, pour the marinade over them, and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Preheat grill to high. Remove shrimp from the marinade and place in a single layer on a grill pan. Set on grill; cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, turning shrimp once. (Or, shrimp can be pan-cooked: Heat 2 Tbs. canola oil in a non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp to pan and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and done.) To serve: Transfer shrimp to one large platter -- or 8 salad plates -- as a peel-and-eat appetizer.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Shrimp: Opt for fresh, never frozen, shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Proper Deveining: Devein the shrimp properly to remove the sand vein, ensuring a grit-free eating experience.
  • Tail On or Off: Depending on your preference, you can leave the tails on for easy handling or remove them for a cleaner look.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the zesty ginger-lime mixture not only adds flavor but also tenderizes it.
  • Use Fresh Lime: Freshly squeezed lime juice provides a burst of citrusy flavor that complements the shrimp perfectly.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking the shrimp to ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
  • High Heat, Short Time: Cook the shrimp over high heat for a short time to maintain their tender texture and prevent overcooking.
  • Garnish Generously: Garnish the cooked shrimp with chopped cilantro and lime wedges for an extra pop of color and freshness.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant flavors and tender texture, this ginger-lime shrimp recipe is a delectable dish that combines the zest of ginger, the tang of lime, and the sweetness of honey. Perfect for a quick and healthy meal, this dish is sure to tantalize your taste buds and satisfy your cravings.
