SPICY SHRIMP IN COCONUT SAUCE



Spicy Shrimp in Coconut Sauce image

This is a Brazilian favorite from the state of Bahia. If you can't find dende oil, a Brazilian staple palm oil, you can substitute annato or peanut oil, but the flavor won't be quite as authentic. Still delicious, though, this dish is a flavorful stir fry addition to your menu.

Coconut Shrimp with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

Categories     Bread     Sauce     Appetizer     Fry     Coconut     Peanut     Shrimp

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 25

24 large (31- to 35-count) shrimp, peeled, deveined, and butterflied (do not remove tail)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup beer (not dark)
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup Japanese panko bread crumbs
Canola or peanut oil, for frying
2 cups Spicy Peanut Sauce (recipe follows)
Spicy Peanut Sauce
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1/4 cup Chicken Stock (page 28)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons Sriracha (Vietnamese chile sauce), or to taste
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems)
(makes about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, five-spice powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and beer until smooth. In another bowl, combine the shredded coconut with the bread crumbs. Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip them into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dip them into the coconut bread crumbs (turning and pressing to get full coverage). Keeping one hand dry will make this whole process neater.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 inch of oil to 365°F. Gently submerge shrimp, about six at a time, and fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with additional salt. Serve the shrimp warm, with Spicy Peanut Sauce.
  • Spicy Peanut Sauce
  • Place the garlic and ginger in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the stock, coconut milk, lime zest and juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sriracha, and purée. Add the peanut butter, and pulse to combine. Fold in the cilantro, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Bring the sauce to room temperature, and serve it with the coconut shrimp.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound large shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined, tails left on
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup panko bread crumbs
8 tablespoons light olive oil, or any high-heat cooking oil
Reynolds® Parchment Paper
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
¼ cup apricot preserves or apricot fruit spread

Steps:

  • Rinse shrimp in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Set up 3 shallow bowls. In the first, stir together 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In the second, add eggs and lightly beat with a fork. In the third, combine 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes and 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs.
  • Dredge shrimp in flour, dip in beaten egg and then finally dip in coconut crumb mixture using your hands to press the mixture onto the shrimp. Transfer to a Reynolds® Parchment Paper lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining shrimp. Once all of the shrimp are breaded, saute right away.
