Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ tablespoon sesame oil, or to taste
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 cups shredded cabbage
1 (14 ounce) can bean sprouts, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons oyster sauce
½ pound tiny cooked shrimp
3 dashes soy sauce, or to taste
oil for frying
12 egg roll wrappers
1 cup duck sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cabbage, bean sprouts, and oyster sauce; saute until veggies start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and soy sauce, stir, and remove from heat. Set aside until filling is cool enough to handle.
  • Heat 2 inches oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • While oil is heating, place an egg roll wrapper on a dry work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of the wrapper. Pull the bottom left corner over the filling and fold the two sides in, moistening edges with water as you go; roll tightly to seal. Repeat to make a few more egg rolls, wiping the work surface between each roll.
  • Place several egg rolls in the hot oil and fry until wrappers are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain while you make and cook remaining egg rolls.
  • Combine duck sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce; stir until well combined. Serve sauce with egg rolls.

MOROCCAN SHRIMP BRIWATS (LIKE EGG ROLLS)



Moroccan Shrimp Briwats (Like Egg Rolls) image

In Morocco, briwats can be stuffed with sweet or savory fillings. This is a savory filling that is somewhat modern in origin. This recipe is an adaptation of both my Moroccan mother-in-law's version (though she adds garlic) and a recipe found in the book "Cooking at the Kasbah" by Kitty Norse. Some people also add soy sauce to the mixture (a sure sign of the recipe's modernity; soy sauce, as you can imagine, is not "native" to Morocco!) :) These are yummy snacks and surprisingly light, despite being fried. Do try to find the lumpia wrappers--briwats should not be doughy, but instead light and crispy, and the lumpia wrappers do the job nicely.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 15 briwats (a rough estimate), 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces rice vermicelli
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
12 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
3 tablespoons cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons Italian parsley
2 teaspoons salt, to taste
lumpia skins, found at asian stores (I do NOT suggest egg roll wrappers such as those found at the supermarket, as they are usually too t) or phyllo pastry sheet (I do NOT suggest egg roll wrappers such as those found at the supermarket, as they are usually too t)

Steps:

  • Cover the vermicelli with hot water and soak for about 15 minutes.
  • Drain the noodles and then chop finely.
  • Set aside.
  • Heat the oil and add the onion and shrimp.
  • Cook until the shrimp turns pink, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat, chop the shrimp and combine the shrimp/onion mixture with the herbs and spices.
  • Put the mixtures in the wrapper and roll up like an eggroll.
  • Or, if you prefer, fold the wrappers into triangle shapes.
  • Brush the edges with some beaten egg yolk to seal.
  • Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden.
  • *Youcan freeze uncooked briwats until ready to use.
  • Just be sure to let them thaw slightly to avoid splattering in the hot oil.
  • Serve with a squeeze of lemon or harissa, if desired.
  • This is a good"potluck" dish and is great for a quick and tasty lunch.

MOROCCAN SHRIMP

This shrimp is quick and easy to make, and the blend of spices is beyond delicious. The recipe is from Weight Watchers and calls for grilling, but I have also pan fried the shrimp in a small amount of olive oil with perfect results. (Prep time does not include the marinating time.)

Moroccan Sizzling Shrimp image

Great shrimp appetizer. You could probably stretch this into a meal with some couscous and veggies, too. Untried by me, posted for ZWT. Adapted from "Around the World in 450 Recipes".

Categories     Moroccan

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 -3 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
lemon wedge, for garnish
chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan. When the butter begins to sizzle, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the spices (cumin, ginger, paprika and cayenne pepper) to the pan. Cook, stirring, for a few seconds.

  • Transfer shrimp to warmed serving dishes. Pour the spicy butter mixture over each serving. Garnish with lemon wedges and some chopped cilantro.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prep the shrimp in advance: To save time, devein and clean the shrimp ahead of time. You can also marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for extra flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your briwats. Some good options include carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Be careful not to overfill the briwats: Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal. Aim for about 1-2 tablespoons of filling per briwat.
  • Use a damp cloth to keep the briwats from sticking: As you're folding the briwats, keep a damp cloth nearby to wipe your hands and the work surface. This will help prevent the briwats from sticking.
  • Fry the briwats in hot oil: When you're ready to fry the briwats, make sure the oil is hot enough. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.

Conclusion:

Moroccan shrimp briwats are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. Get creative with your fillings and make them your own. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect briwats every time.
