Asian Shrimp and Ginger Fritters with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce image

These tasty morsels are always popular as an appetizer and team well with the sweet chili dipping sauce. Add more chilies to the sauce if you like it hot! You can obtain fish sauce (and also a sweet chili dipping sauce, if you prefer not to make your own) in an Asian food store. The fritters can also be served with my Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, posted separately.

Time 30m

Yield 15-20 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
2 1/2 cups coarse fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, chopped
1 egg
4 teaspoons fish sauce (nam pla)
vegetable oil (for deep frying, preferably peanut oil)
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 kaffir lime, juiced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped hot red chile (or 1 teaspoon sambal oelek)

Steps:

  • Shrimp and Ginger Fritters: Place the breadcrumbs and coconut milk together in a bowl, and set aside.
  • Place the shrimp meat, ginger, cilantro, egg and fish sauce into a food processor bowl, and pulse until the mixture is combined.
  • It is important not to over-mix or otherwise it will turn into a paste!
  • Add the breadcrumbs, which by now should have absorbed all the coconut milk, and pulse until just blended.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over high heat, or to 350 degrees F (180 C) in a deep-fryer.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture into the hot oil, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.
  • Do this in batches.
  • As the fritters cook, remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm in a low oven.
  • Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce: Place all ingredients in a blender and whizz until blended and sugar is dissolved.
  • Serve in a small bowl (it yields 1 cup) to accompany the Asian Shrimp and Ginger Fritters.

SPICY SHRIMP MASALA



Spicy Shrimp Masala image

Black pepper, garam masala, Thai green chiles and Kashmiri red chile powder make this shrimp masala a multi-layered delight of spices - fiery and smoldering simultaneously - while lemon juice and cilantro add brightness and bring some relief. In coastal cities of South Asia like Karachi and states like Goa, this preparation is typical and perfectly suited for crunchy, sweet shrimp. That such complexity comes together in 30 minutes feels like a small miracle.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup ghee or neutral oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger paste or freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic paste or freshly grated garlic
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 to 3 Thai green chiles, finely chopped
5 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup coconut milk, stirred (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Roti or pita, for serving

Steps:

  • Pat shrimp dry, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
  • Heat ghee over medium heat in a wok or large (12-inch) frying pan until it has melted, about 30 seconds. Add ginger, garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add chile powder, cumin, turmeric and Thai green chiles. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and start to stick to the wok, about 15 minutes. Add coconut milk if you like it saucy.
  • Add shrimp. Stir so that shrimp are evenly coated, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally so the shrimp cook evenly, until the shrimp turn pink and appear firm, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, sprinkle with lemon juice, garam masala, cilantro and remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper. Serve with roti, store-bought pita or by itself.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh prawns: The fresher the prawns, the better the fritters will taste. Look for prawns that are firm and have a slight briny smell.
  • Use a sharp knife to chop the prawns: This will help to prevent the prawns from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the fritters tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fry the fritters in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will cause the fritters to steam rather than fry.
  • Serve the fritters hot: Prawn and ginger fritters are best served hot, with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Conclusion:

Prawn and ginger fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and can also be served as a main course with a side of rice or vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect prawn and ginger fritters every time.
