Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled, deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger

SHRIMP IN SPICY LIME SAUCE



Shrimp in Spicy Lime Sauce image

Few people I know have gone food hunting in Cambodia, so I was curious when Deb Winson, a New York-based food stylist, came back with an ecstatic report. ''Everything was so fresh and beautiful, and everything was so simple,'' she said. When I asked her to describe her favorite dish, she told me about a great preparation for shrimp cooked in lime. The ingredients were much as I expected: limes, sugar, salt, chiles and garlic, all common in Southeast Asian cooking. But the technique sounded unusual. The shrimp were not stir-fried, as you might expect, but instead were simmered in a very pungent sauce so that they took on strong flavor and still stayed juicy. This is my version.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, seafood, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

About 1/2 cup lime juice (4 to 6 limes)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, more to taste
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola or grape seed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes, or to taste
1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp, or 3 pounds head-on shrimp, left unpeeled
Minced cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, sugar and salt. Place oil in a 10- or 12-inch skillet, and turn the heat to high. A minute later, add the garlic and chile flakes and cook the garlic until it just begins to brown. Immediately add the lime juice mixture all at once, and cook until it reduces by half, or even more, 3 to 5 minutes. There should be only about 1/4 cup of liquid in the skillet, and it should be syrupy.
  • Add the shrimp, and cook over high heat. The shrimp will give off liquid of their own and begin to turn pink almost immediately. After about 2 minutes, stir contents of pan. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until all the shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes total. Taste, adjust seasoning, garnish with cilantro and serve with rice.

THAI SHRIMP & ASPARAGUS



Thai Shrimp & Asparagus image

This is a green-curry based dish and is quite easy to make and equally tasty! I found the recipe in July 2008 edition of Good Housekeeping magazine. I made a full batch and it served me 3 very filling meals, 1 fresh and two leftovers that had kept in the fridge over several days. I really like this recipe because I'm a novice in the kitchen, but I love fresh, rich flavors. This recipe gives you both! Easy, yummy, fun! Note 1: I got frozen shrimp from the grocery store and thawed them overnight in the fridge and then shelled and rinsed them - it made no difference as far as I could tell. Note 2: If you're not particularly concerned about appearance, you need only 1 lime - just be careful that you grate it such that you can still slice it and use the wedges later - less wasteful that way. Note 3: I made my own rice that I had at home instead of buying the recommended pre-cooked kind; the amount and kind of rice you serve with the shrimp asparagus mixture is purely preference.

COCONUT-LIME SHRIMP



Coconut-Lime Shrimp image

You can make this gingery, lightly sweet shrimp stew as tangy and spicy as you like by adjusting the amounts of chile and lime juice. Using full-fat coconut milk gives you the richest and most flavorful dish. But light coconut milk will also work, resulting in something brothier and more souplike. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp. As soon as they turn pink, they're done.
