STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND GINGER
In 2005, Julia Moskin wrote an excellent article about woks, the best sort for American kitchens (a 14-inch heavy-gauge carbon-steel wok with a flat bottom) and how to season it. This recipe, adapted from Grace Young's book, "The Breath of a Wok," ran alongside it. It is simple, fresh and fast. It cooks in under 5 minutes, so start your pot of rice as you clean the shrimp and chop the ginger, garlic and scallions.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine 2 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon salt, stirring until salt is dissolved. Add shrimp, and let stand five minutes. Rinse shrimp under cold running water, and set to dry on paper towels. With more towels, pat shrimp dry.
- In a bowl, combine broth, wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and pepper.
- Heat a wok over high heat. To test heat flick a few drops of water into wok. When water vaporizes within 2 seconds, wok is hot. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil around sides of wok. Add shrimp, spreading them in a single layer, so they have contact with hot metal. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or just until pink, tossing them with a wok shovel or spatula. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add snow peas and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry 1 minute more.
- Stir cornstarch mixture, swirl it in around sides of wok, and bring to a boil. Stir-fry just until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 30 seconds more. Stir in scallions, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill to high.
- In a large, nonreactive bowl, combine the lemongrass, ginger, garlic, scallion greens, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey and whisk well. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Skewer the shrimp, scallion whites, and red bell peppers onto skewers in whatever order you like. There should be 4 to 6 shrimp per skewer.
- Place the skewers on a flat plate and drizzle with peanut oil. It is not necessary to salt the skewers because soy sauce has so much salt in it. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook about 3 minutes per side, or just until the shrimp curls, turns red and does not appear clear at all. Be careful not to overcook.
- Place the whole radicchio leaves around the edge of a platter. Mound the chiffonade radicchio and watercress inside the leaves and around the platter. Remove the skewers from the grill and place on the bed of greens. Squeeze the juice of a lime over the shrimp.
CUMIN-LIME SHRIMP WITH GINGER
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.

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.

- 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.

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.

Steps:
- Shrimp and Ginger Fritters: Place the breadcrumbs and coconut milk together in a bowl, and set aside.
- Place the shrimp meat, ginger, cilantro, egg and fish sauce into a food processor bowl, and pulse until the mixture is combined.
- It is important not to over-mix or otherwise it will turn into a paste!
- Add the breadcrumbs, which by now should have absorbed all the coconut milk, and pulse until just blended.
- Heat the vegetable oil over high heat, or to 350 degrees F (180 C) in a deep-fryer.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture into the hot oil, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.
- Do this in batches.
- As the fritters cook, remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm in a low oven.
- Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce: Place all ingredients in a blender and whizz until blended and sugar is dissolved.
- Serve in a small bowl (it yields 1 cup) to accompany the Asian Shrimp and Ginger Fritters.
Tips:
- Select the Right Shrimp: Choose medium-sized or large shrimp for this recipe. Avoid using tiny shrimp as it may get overcooked and rubbery.
- Clean and Devein the Shrimp: Deveining the shrimp removes the dark vein that runs down its back. This not only improves the appearance but also removes any potential grit or impurities.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, cornstarch, and ginger-garlic paste enhances its flavor and makes it more tender.
- Use Fresh Ginger and Garlic: Freshly grated ginger and garlic provide a more intense and aromatic flavor compared to pre-packaged or powdered versions.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp becomes tough and rubbery. Aim for cooking the shrimp for just 2-3 minutes or until it turns pink and opaque.
- Serve Immediately: Ginger shrimp is best served immediately after cooking. The crispy texture and flavors are at their peak when served hot.
Conclusion:
Ginger shrimp is an easy-to-make dish that combines the flavors of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce with tender shrimp. It is a delicious appetizer or main course that can be served with steamed rice or noodles. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends. So, gather your ingredients, follow the steps, and enjoy this flavorful and satisfying dish!
