Best 3 Grilled Shrimp And Scallions With Southeast Asian Dipping Sauces Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP AND SCALLIONS WITH SOUTHEAST ASIAN DIPPING SAUCES

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir together fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Mix well to dissolve sugar, then stir in jalapeño rings. Set aside.
• In small bowl, stir together soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and cilantro. Set aside.
• Prepare grill for cooking: If using charcoal grill, open vents on bottom, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 4 to 5 seconds. If using gas grill, preheat burners on high with hood closed 10 minutes, then turn down to moderately high.
• Using electric spice grinder, pulse coriander seeds 2 to 3 times to crack. (Alternatively, place seeds on cutting board and crush lightly with small saut pan, using gentle rocking motion.) In large bowl, combine shrimp and scallions. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with coriander, salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
• Thread shrimp and scallions onto skewers. Grill, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Arrange on platter and serve with dipping sauces.

SWEET-AND-SPICY ASIAN DIPPING SAUCE WITH SESAME-SCALLION FLATBREAD AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Stir together the chili sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, the minced chile, 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Pour into a small serving bowl and top with the sliced chile. Set aside to let the flavors blend.
• Meanwhile, make the flatbread: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Cook, stirring, until toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve the skillet. Add the scallions and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil to the bowl and set aside. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle with the scallion mixture and salt and fold in half like a book. Press the halves together with your fingers and then roll the dough out again until it is 1/8-inch thick. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Stretch and roll each piece until very thin, pinching the edges together to keep the filling from spilling out. When the dough is thin enough, you should be able to see the filling through the dough. The pieces should be 7 to 8 inches in diameter, although they need not be perfectly round.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the canola oil over medium-high heat in the same skillet. When very hot, add a piece of the dough and cook, turning once, until it is puffed and cooked through and has some charred spots, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, adding more canola oil as needed to just lightly coat the bottom of the skillet and reducing the heat if the dough starts to burn before it cooks through. Cut the flatbreads into pieces and serve with the dip and cooked shrimp.
