CHILE-GARLIC MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP



Chile-Garlic Marinated and Grilled Shrimp image

This quick marinade is a cheater's version of Vietnamese nuoc mam cham, which is a mixture of Asian fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and chiles. Using crushed red pepper flakes rather than the fresh variety means less chopping, and finely grating the garlic into the marinade ensures it doesn't burn on the grill.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large limes (about 10 ounces)
2 large cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
1 small scallion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and about 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the fish sauce, canola oil, sugar, red pepper flakes and shrimp. Toss to combine.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges and reserve for serving.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, grill the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a large plate.
  • Top with the sliced scallions and cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.

KUNG PAO SHRIMP



Kung Pao Shrimp image

The name of this dish is now written in English as gong bao shrimp, and this recipe takes inspiration from the American Chinese versions that come from the Sichuan Province of China. Here, flashes of chile heat shine in a glossy swirl of a salty, sour and sweet sauce. With a confetti blend of shrimp, peppers and peanuts, each mouthful is a little spicy and chewy, savory and crisp. The deep malty tang comes from Chinkiang vinegar, a jet-black condiment from China that is traditionally fermented from grains and aged in clay. It's key to this dish and also delicious for dipping dumplings, saucing noodles and dressing vegetables. (Balsamic vinegar, similarly fermented and aged from grape juice in barrels, is a fun, fruity substitute.) With both vegetables and protein, this one-wok stir-fry is a complete meal with steamed rice.

Categories     weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinkiang (black) vinegar or balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, coarsely ground, plus more to taste
1 red or orange bell pepper
5 garlic cloves
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed
1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
3/4 cup small dried red chiles (23 grams; see Tip)
3 large scallions, cut into 1/2-inch lengths

Steps:

  • Mix the shrimp, Shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a bowl until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let stand while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Stir the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, Sichuan pepper and remaining teaspoon cornstarch in a separate bowl. Dice the bell pepper and thinly slice the garlic. Have all your ingredients ready next to the stove.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat for 15 seconds. Add the peanuts and stir until browned in spots, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the bell pepper and garlic, and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring, until the pepper is bright and the garlic starts to become translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the chiles and stir well, then add the shrimp with its marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are curled and just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the scallions and stir until glossy, about 15 seconds, then add the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 1 minute. If any of the starchy sauce has stuck to the bottom of the pan, add a splash of water and scrape up any browned bits. Taste and add more Sichuan pepper if you'd like. Immediately transfer to a dish and serve hot.

Provided by kitty.rock

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 6 shrimp per serving, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
1/4 tablespoon lime juice (about 1 1/2 limes)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons cilantro
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp (about 6 per person)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high.
  • In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except shrimp and stir well.
  • Peel shrimp except for tail, and devein. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place shrimp in large resealable bag. Add marinade. Through bag, rub marinade into shrimp. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Halfway through, turn bag and give shrimp another marinade massage. (Do not marinate longer than 20 minutes, or the acidic lime juice will cook the shrimp).
  • Place shrimp on cutting board and nestle them together in groups of six. Using 2 bamboo skewers for each group, skewer the shrimp together (this is for nice presentation, keeps shrimp from falling into the grill and makes them easier to turn). NOTE: Soak bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes prior to use, to keep them from burning.
  • Grill shrimp on an oiled grill rack 2 minutes per side, or until opaque.
  • (Serve with Toasted Couscous with Grilled Mango and Zucchini).

CRISPY CILANTRO-CHILE SHRIMP



Crispy Cilantro-Chile Shrimp image

These zesty, pan-fried shrimp are inspired by the cuisine of Maharashtra, the state on the west coast of India that includes Mumbai. Maharashtrian cooking often features lots of seafood and bright, fresh flavors, like the wallop of cilantro that flavors this dish. (Puréeing cilantro, as in this recipe, changes the enzyme that makes it taste soapy to some people, and reveals a deeply savory, almost mellow side to the herb.) A coating of farina, of which Cream of Wheat cereal is made, gives a dramatically craggy, crunchy texture; rava or semolina flour also work well. Be sure to pat the farina onto the shrimp before frying to help the coating adhere. Serve the shrimp with flatbreads, like chapatis.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces cilantro leaves and stems (about 2 medium bunches or 1 large bunch), cut to fit into a blender
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 serrano chile, stemmed, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus up to ¾ cup for frying
1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lime juice (from about 1 lime), plus lime wedges for serving
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 1/2 pounds large or extra-large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
1 1/4 cups farina, rava or semolina flour

Steps:

  • Combine the cilantro, garlic, chile, 2 tablespoons oil, ginger, lime juice, turmeric, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Purée, using a wooden spoon or the blender wand to help combine ingredients if necessary. Scrape the puréed mixture into a bowl. Add the shrimp and use your hands or a spatula to evenly combine. Marinate for up to 1 hour in the refrigerator, if possible, or proceed immediately to Step 2.
  • Dredge the shrimp: Pour the farina onto a lipped plate or into a large shallow bowl and season with two generous pinches of salt; toss to combine. Let the marinade cling to the shrimp, then dredge the shrimp in the farina, patting the farina onto each shrimp to adhere, and carefully shaking off any excess crumbs. Place the dredged shrimp on a parchment- or foil-lined sheet pan.
  • Heat ¼ cup of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in 2 or 3 batches, depending on the size of your pan and the size of your shrimp, lay the shrimp in the pan in one layer and fry without disturbing until the shrimp are deeply golden brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes. Gently flip with tongs or a spatula and fry until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. (If any large shards of coating come off the shrimp, remove them from the oil, and serve with the shrimp.) Wipe the skillet clean of crumbs with a paper towel and add more oil to the pan as necessary to maintain the amount, and repeat the pan-frying process with the remaining shrimp. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Use large, fresh shrimp for best results. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro will help to infuse them with flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately. Serve the grilled shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a cilantro-lime vinaigrette or a spicy mayo.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.
