Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb green beans, trimmed
2/3 cup vegetable oil
6 oz shallots (5 medium), thinly sliced crosswise and separated into rings
1 small fresh Thai or serrano chile (2 1/4 inches long; preferably red), thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Cook beans in a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain beans in a colander.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then fry shallots in 3 batches, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per batch (watch carefully; shallots burn easily).

CHILE-CRISP SHRIMP AND GREEN BEANS



Chile-Crisp Shrimp and Green Beans image

This stir-fry is inspired by the taste and textures of chile crisp, that fiery condiment made by infusing oil with dried chiles, garlic and shallots. For this 20-minute recipe, make a quick version of the oil while the shrimp marinates in a combination of soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Use the infused oil to cook the green beans (or asparagus), shrimp and peanuts, then serve topped with the fried shallots and garlic. It's a deeply savory, spicy and satisfying dinner.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 large shallot, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced through the root
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 cinnamon stick
10 ounces green beans or asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Set aside while you fry the shallots and garlic.
  • Place a fine-mesh sieve over a heat-proof bowl next to the stove. In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil, shallot, garlic and cinnamon stick over medium-high. When the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the shallots, until golden brown, 5 to 9 minutes. (Lower the heat if the shallots are browning too quickly.) Drain through the sieve, catching the oil in the bowl below. Discard the cinnamon, season the fried shallots and garlic with salt, and set aside.
  • Return the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the green beans, season with salt and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Push the green beans to one side, then add the shrimp and the marinade, along with the peanuts (if using), and cook until the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stir the green beans and shrimp to combine, then sprinkle with the fried shallots and garlic. Serve immediately, over rice or noodles, or in lettuce cups, if desired.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh green beans. If using frozen green beans, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To get the shallots crispy, make sure to slice them thinly and cook them over medium-high heat.
  • If you don't have any Thai chiles, you can use another type of chili pepper, such as a serrano or jalapeño. Just be sure to adjust the amount of pepper you use depending on its heat level.
  • Be careful not to overcook the green beans. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
  • Serve the green beans immediately, while they're still hot and crispy.
