CRISPY MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH INDIAN SHRIMP



Crispy Melt-in-your-mouth Indian Shrimp image

This crispy, fried, shrimp dish, similar to Japanese Tempura, is flavored with Indian spices and then coated with Cream of Rice to make them especially light and crunchy. The recipe is from a restaurant called The Bombay Cafe, and although I haven't tried them yet, they sound so good I wanted to share the recipe so someone else can enjoy them before I get a chance to myself. They could be served as an appetizer, first course, or main course along with other side dishes. Time does not include marinating time.

Categories     Asian

Time 30m

Yield 24 shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 inches ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 -3 green serrano chilies
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
24 large shrimp, cleaned and deveined
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1/2-3/4 cup cream of rice
oil (for frying)
6 -8 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Place the ginger, chilies and cilantro in a food processor and process them until everything is finely minced, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  • Put the mixture into a small work bowl and add the shrimp; mix and stir well until the shrimp are well-coated.
  • Add the turmeric and mix, making sure the shrimp are again well-coated.
  • Cover or wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours.
  • When ready to cook, remove the shrimp from the refrigerator, mix in the salt, and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
  • Put about 1/3 of the Cream of Rice (use a little if not enough to coat all the shrimp) in a medium-sized plastic bag (do not use all the Cream of Rice at once or the marinade on the shrimp will make it too moist to coat the shrimp evenly).
  • Pour enough oil into a small, deep saucepan to cover 6 of the shrimp completely at one time and begin to heat the oil until hot enough to fry the shrimp.
  • While the oil is heating, put 6 shrimp into the plastic bag, close the bag, and toss to coat evenly with the Cream of Rice.
  • Place the shrimp on a slotted spoon and ease them into the hot oil; they should sizzle immediately.
  • Turn after 1 minute and fry for another minute, or until evenly golden.
  • Remove the shrimp to paper towels to absorb any excess oil, and repeat the process with another 1/4 cup Cream of Rice and 6 shrimp.
  • Repeat the process one more time with the last 6 shrimp, then serve, garnished with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • For an authentic tandoori flavor, marinate the shrimp in the yogurt mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • If you don't have tandoori masala on hand, you can make your own by combining 2 teaspoons of garam masala, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder.
  • To get a nice char on the shrimp, cook them over high heat. However, be careful not to overcook them, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tamarind chutney or raita.

Conclusion:

This Indian-style stir-fried tandoori shrimp is a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor. The shrimp is marinated in a yogurt and spice mixture, then cooked over high heat until charred and cooked through. Serve the shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
