SASSY SEASONED SHRIMP



Sassy Seasoned Shrimp image

I came up with this recipe for the Mixing Pot Challenge of the Zaar World Tour 6. I tried to represent my team "A Seasoned Sailor and his Sassy Sirens" in an Asian marinade that is great for shrimp. Its zesty and sweet, and has a bit of kick, just like our team. I used the marinade for grilled shrimp, I also tried it sauteed and liked the grilling method best. I recommend saving out about 1/4 cup of the marinade as a dipping sauce for the grilled shimp. We served it with fried rice as a side dish, but this would also make a wonderful appetizer! If you like it spicy, use 4 tablespoons of the chili garlic sauce. I used 3 and it was a little spicy but I could have gone hotter. You can also add some crushed red pepper to kick it up. Prep time includes marinating time.

Categories     Asian

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
3/4 cup mango nectar
2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Mix first eight ingredients in a bowl (or simply put all in a large ziploc and squish to mix). You can reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade as a dipping sauce.
  • Put the marinade in a large ziploc bag and add shrimp.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
  • Take shrimp out of bag and thread onto skewers.
  • Grill over medium high heat for about 4 minutes each side, or until shrimp are done.
  • Serve with reserved marinade as a dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, succulent shrimp. The quality of your shrimp will make a big difference in the flavor of your dip. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly briny smell.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses will give your dip a more complex flavor. Try using a blend of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add some spice. A little bit of spice will help to balance out the richness of the dip. Try adding some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Crackers, chips, and vegetables are all great options for dipping in shrimp dip. You can also serve the dip with bread or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Sassy shrimp dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, succulent shrimp, and zesty flavor, this dip is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give sassy shrimp dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
