GINGER-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK



Ginger-Garlic Shrimp With Coconut Milk image

Fresh ingredients and bold condiments do the heavy lifting here, creating a fragrant 20-minute meal that will lure people into the kitchen, wondering what smells so good. Inspired by elements of Indian and Thai curries, the shrimp are coated in ginger, garlic and turmeric, then seared and braised in a combination of coconut milk and soy sauce. Spinach is stirred in for a bit of green, but you can substitute your favorite quick-cooking greens like bok choy or kale and adjust cooking time as needed. Swap the shrimp for scallops or white fish, if you like. Serve with rice, rice vermicelli noodles or naan to soak up the flavorful liquid.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 teaspoon minced or grated ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 packed cups baby spinach
1 lime, halved
1 fresno, jalapeño or serrano chile, thinly sliced
2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
1/2 packed cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
Steamed rice, vermicelli noodles or naan, for serving

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and the olive oil. Add the shrimp and mix to coat well.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the shrimp in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes.

Raise the heat to high and adjust it to maintain a simmer (avoid bringing to a boil), and cook until the liquid is slightly thickened and shrimp are almost cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach in batches until wilted.
  • Remove from the heat and squeeze in the juice from a lime half. Adjust seasoning with more lime and salt as needed. Top with the chiles, scallions and cilantro, and serve with rice, noodles or naan.

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.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh shrimp, coconut milk, and Arborio rice will make a big difference in the flavor of the risotto.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This will help to develop the flavor of the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually and stir constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from clumping together.
  • Cook the risotto until it is creamy and tender. This will take about 18-20 minutes.
  • Season the risotto to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are good starting points.
  • Garnish the risotto with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Coconut milk and shrimp risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is creamy, flavorful, and packed with protein. The addition of coconut milk gives the dish a unique and exotic flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp and coconut milk, and it is also a good option for a vegetarian meal if you omit the shrimp.
