Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use 1/4 if sensitive to spice)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice (from about 1/2 small lemon)
1 pound shrimp
Canola or vegetable oil for the grill

Steps:

  • Preheat an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill to high. To cook the shrimp in the oven, preheat the broiler. If broiling, line a sheet pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the seasoning ingredients: garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and cayenne. Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice and stir into a paste.
  • Add the shrimp and toss to coat. If using smaller shrimp, thread them on metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 1 hour. Brush the grill or grill pan with canola oil. Grill or broil the shrimp, just until pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once half way through (discard the extra liquid/spices that is left at the bottom of the bowl). Serve immediately.

SIZZLED FIVE-SPICE SHRIMP WITH RED PEPPER



Sizzled Five-Spice Shrimp With Red Pepper image

This flavorful wok-fried shrimp dish makes an easy but very impressive dinner. Bright and spicy, it calls for strips of ripe red Fresno chiles, which are not very hot and available in the produce section of most supermarkets. Use red bell peppers instead if you want to tame the heat. Look for fresh or frozen wild shrimp when possible, from the Eastern Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico or Alaska. Make sure to buy farmed shrimp from a certified sustainable source; imported farmed shrimp are not always reliable or of good quality.

Categories     dinner, quick, seafood, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder (see Note)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine, sake or dry sherry
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 pounds baby bok choy or mustard greens, trimmed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 ripe, red Fresno chiles, split lengthwise, seeded and cut into thin strips (or use 2 large bell peppers)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon grated fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 cup slivered scallions, for garnish
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Spread shrimp out in one layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly on both sides with salt, sugar, then five-spice powder.
  • Transfer shrimp to a large bowl and drizzle with soy sauce and rice wine. Sprinkle with cornstarch and gently toss shrimp with hands or spoons until well coated. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes (or cover and keep refrigerated up to 2 hours).
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add bok choy or mustard greens and simmer until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and arrange on a large serving platter. Keep warm.
  • Set a wok or large cast-iron pan over high heat and add vegetable oil. When oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. (Work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.) Let shrimp brown nicely on one side, about 1 minute, then turn with tongs and finish cooking the second side. Transfer cooked shrimp to the platter of blanched bok choy, placing on top of greens.
  • Add chile strips to oil in wok, sprinkle lightly with salt and cook about 1 minute, until softened, then add ginger, garlic, cayenne and sesame oil. Let mixture sizzle briefly, just until fragrant, then carefully spoon it over shrimp.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds; garnish with slivered scallions, cilantro and lime wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Remove the heads, shells, and tails. Devein the shrimp by making a shallow incision along the back and removing the dark vein.
  • Use a flavorful spice rub. The spice rub in this recipe is a blend of chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. You can adjust the proportions of the spices to suit your taste.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it is important to cook it just until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or grilled vegetables.

Conclusion:

The shrimp spice rub recipe in this article is a flavorful and easy way to prepare shrimp. The spice rub is made with a blend of chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. The shrimp is cooked in a pan or on the grill until it is opaque and pink. Serve the shrimp immediately with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or grilled vegetables.
