PF CHANG'S SHRIMP WITH CANDIED WALNUTS



Pf Chang's Shrimp With Candied Walnuts image

A very close copy-cat of the restaurant's version. I've seen 3 variations of recipes for this dish on the internet. 1 tasted like mayo (YUCK), 1 was WAY too sweet, the other did not provide enough sauce and had too much of the spices. This seems to be a close as you can possibly get.

1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup rice syrup
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, slightly heaping
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/8 teaspoon turmeric (maybe a dash more)
1 dash celery salt (do NOT put in very much)
1 dash powdered ginger

  • Whisk egg whites lightly in a bowl, add the shrimp and coat well.
  • Combine the flour and cornstarch with some salt and pepper. Dredge the shrimp.

HONEY WALNUT SHRIMP



Honey Walnut Shrimp image

Growing up I always saw honey walnut shrimp at Chinese wedding banquets but was never able to eat them due to my nut allergy. Luckily I outgrew the allergy in my early 20s and, consumed with curiosity for this iconic dish, it's one of the first recipes I wanted my mom to share with me. It's considered a special-occasion dish because of the technique and the size of the prawns used. And although the ingredients may seem simple, each component of the dish has a secret. For the walnuts, blanching them before frying is a classic technique Chinese restaurants use; it makes the nut's interior feel light and tender as a contrast to the crunchy candied exterior. For the sauce, the secret is the sweet-tart flavor of pineapple juice; without it the sauce could feel heavy from the mayonnaise and sweetened condensed milk. Last but not least, butterflying the shrimp makes them appear larger, giving the dish the impressive look it's known for at Chinese banquets, and coating them in cornstarch creates a light and crisp exterior. I've made this dish numerous times for my family. My mom is glad that she no longer needs to wait for a wedding to enjoy it!

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup shelled walnut halves or large pieces (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons pineapple juice, such as Dole's 100% Pineapple Juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons white distilled vinegar
Kosher salt
1 pound very large (U 16-20) shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 medium heads broccoli, about 1 pound, cut into florets, stems peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
Canola oil, for frying (about 3 cups)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch

Steps:

  • Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add the walnuts and bring the water back to a full boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Strain the nuts into a colander and shake off excess water. Transfer the blanched pieces to a paper towel-lined plate in an even layer and let them sit until dry to touch, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the mayonnaise, condensed milk, pineapple juice, honey, vinegar and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Butterfly the shrimp by laying one flat on a cutting board and using a paring knife to slit them down the back from top to tail, cutting deeply but not all the way through. Press down to open the split shrimp up a bit. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining shrimp. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside.
  • Rinse out the saucepan the walnuts blanched in and fill it halfway with water. Season the water generously with salt as you would pasta water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and blanch until bright green and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Strain into a colander and shake off excess water. Make a ring using the florets on a serving platter and tuck the stem pieces under the florets. Set aside.
  • Fill a wok or Dutch oven with about 2 to 3 inches of canola oil. Place over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • While the oil is heating up, place 1/3 cup water and the sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir until dissolved. Set aside.
  • Once the oil reaches 350 degrees F, reduce heat to medium and add the blanched walnuts. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes (don't let them become dark or they will be bitter). Remove with a slotted spoon and place on another paper towel-lined plate and turn the heat off. Sprinkle the walnuts lightly with salt.
  • Place a wire rack over a sheet pan. Add the fried walnut pieces to the sugar syrup in the saucepan and stir to coat. Transfer the walnuts with a slotted spoon to the rack and let them dry slightly and set, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the oil to medium-high heat and bring back to 350 degrees F. Place the shrimp in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss until each shrimp is fully coated. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp (work in two batches if necessary) and fry until they are orangish-pink and the cornstarch coating is almost translucent, about 3 minutes. (For smaller shrimp, see Cook's Note for cooking times.) When cooked through, the shrimp will float to the surface and the bubbling will begin to subside. Transfer the fried shrimp with a slotted spoon into the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Toss until fully coated.
  • Place the shrimp in the center of the platter in the broccoli ring. Drizzle any additional sauce over the broccoli florets and shrimp. Scatter candied walnuts around the sides of the plate and on top of the shrimp and broccoli. Serve immediately.

1 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail on
Steamed broccoli florets, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook, undisturbed, until light golden, about 5 minutes. Add walnuts; cook, stirring, until deep golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Season with salt. Let cool completely while preparing the shrimp.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk mayonnaise, honey, sriracha, and lemon juice; season with salt.
  • Heat 2 inches safflower oil to 375 degrees over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet. In a separate large bowl, whisk together egg yolk, club soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gently stir in rice flour. Season shrimp with salt. Holding each by the tail, dip shrimp in batter one at a time and fry in small batches until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. (Allow oil to return to 375 degrees between batches.)

PAPRIKA SHRIMP WITH WALNUTS



Paprika Shrimp with Walnuts image

A cross-continental blend of flavors, this dish features a lively sauce that combines European paprika and sake or mirin (rice wine) from Japan. Turnips, popular in both European and Asian cuisines, add fiber, potassium, calcium, and vitamin C. Serve the shrimp over wholewheat pasta or brown rice.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 to 3 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
20 large shrimp, preferably U.S. farmed, peeled and deveined (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 cups cubed (1/4-inch) peeled turnips
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar or sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons sake or mirin (rice wine)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add ginger and paprika; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds. Add walnuts; sauté, stirring, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give you the best results.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Remove the heads, shells, and tails from the shrimp. Devein the shrimp by making a shallow incision along the back and removing the dark vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of paprika, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper will help to add flavor and keep the shrimp moist.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Paprika shrimp with walnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful paprika mixture and then cooked over high heat until they are perfectly cooked. The walnuts add a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the dish. This dish can be served with rice, pasta, or vegetables.
