Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt to taste
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon caper brine
1 ½ teaspoons cold butter
⅓ cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley, divided
1 ½ tablespoons cold butter
water, as needed

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Place shrimp in an even layer on the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 minute without stirring.
  • Season shrimp with salt; cook and stir until shrimp begin to turn pink, about 1 minute.

SHRIMP WITH GARLIC SAUCE

Provided by Brian Boitano

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups canola oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 cup vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups broccoli florets, blanched
1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
4 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Heat the oil until it reaches 360 degrees F in wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dredge the raw shrimp in the cornstarch. Fry in batches, so as not to overcrowd the pan, until their exteriors crisp up, about 4 to 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the oil and put them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable broth and cornstarch. Set the bowl aside.
  • Heat the canola oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the onions, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the bell pepper and cook for another 30 seconds. Pour in the prepared sauce and cook until the sauce thickens. Stir in the broccoli and water chestnuts and cook for 1 minute, then add the shrimp and fry for 1 minute more. Transfer the shrimp with garlic sauce to a serving bowl and serve hot with cooked rice.

SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE



Shrimp in Garlic Sauce image

This is, by far and bar none, the most popular Chinese seafood dish I know. In fact, it is better than its restaurant counterpart because it uses real garlic, not dried garlic reconstituted in water.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound large shrimp (21 to 25 shrimp per pound), peeled
1 egg white
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 to 2 tablespoons water
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons black soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
8 garlic cloves, crushed and finely minced
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
5 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon chili paste, or to taste and tolerance
1/2 cup sliced fresh water chestnuts, optional
1 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup sliced scallions, on the diagonal in 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Using a cleaver or knife, slice the shrimp from the back, leaving a small donut-like hole in the center, essentially butterflying the shrimp. Be careful not to cut all the way through the shrimp. Rinse away any veins under cold water. Drain well.
  • Put the shrimp in a bowl and add the egg white, cornstarch and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well. The consistency should be silky and the color milky.
  • In a large wok, heat 2 cups of the oil to 280 degrees F, or place 1 shrimp in the oil and when bubbles rise from it like Champagne bubbles in a glass, add the rest of the shrimp. Turn the shrimp gently in the poaching oil. When they are white and fluffy, remove them with a stainless steel strainer or brass metal strainer. Put the cooked shrimp in a colander to drain.
  • For the sauce. In a small saucepan, mix the chicken broth, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger, sugar, and chili paste. Stir well. Bring the garlic sauce to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer.
  • In a clean wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to smoking. Add the sliced water chestnuts and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the garlic sauce, stir, and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. Add the shrimp. Toss and stir 3 times until well coated. Stir in the sliced scallions and serve.

SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE - LIKE TIO PEPE'S



SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE - LIKE TIO PEPE'S image

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 shrimp, (16-20 count)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 large head garlic, minced
1 pinch saffron
1 dried pepper (chile arbol)
extra virgin olive oil
1 ounce dry sherry
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel Shrimp. Leave the very end of the tail on. Cut along the back of the shrimp tail 1/8-inch and remove vein. Clean and set aside in cold water. Mince garlic, parsley. Heat olive oil in a small saucepan. Pour enough olive oil so that it is about 1/4 inch deep in the pan. Add one tooth of garlic. Use moderate heat to raise the temperature slowly. When the garlic tooth begins to sizzle, lower the heat slightly and add the minced garlic, parsley, saffron and shrimp. Break the dried pepper in half and toss it in the pan. Salt and pepper to taste. Use a spoon to gently to stir the ingredients, turning the shrimp over to cook evenly. The heat should be high enough for the ingredients to sizzle, but so high that the oil smokes and burns the ingredients. Add the dry sherry towards the end when the shrimp have changed color and are just about ready. Cooking time should be about 5 minutes. Transfer ingredients to a deep plate and serve immediately. CHEF'S NOTE: This is traditional cooked in a heat resilient ceramic bowl and is served sizzling. To reproduce this sizzling presentation you can preheat the ceramic bowl in the oven and transfer ingredients to it when ready. Be sure to have ready a wide brim serving plate on which to place and carry the hot ceramic bowl. An oven pad placed between the bowl and the serving plate is advised. The Spanish tend to use a cazuela when cooking this dish as this is the most traditional method. A cazuela is an earthenware dish that can be used either on top of the oven over a gas flame or for baking inside the oven.
