Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons crumbled Maytag or other blue cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 tablespoons half-and-half
2 teaspoons sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail on (about 16 shrimp)
1 cup seltzer water, chilled
1 large egg yolk
1 cup cake flour
Kosher salt
Carrots and celery sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Put a medium bowl in the freezer. Put a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and set near the stovetop where you will be frying.
  • For the blue cheese dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, blue cheese, half-and-half, sour cream, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the butter-hot sauce: Combine the butter and hot sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, for the shrimp tempura: Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Cut small 1/4-inch diagonal slits on the underside of a shrimp, then flatten to make it lie straight. Thread a skewer through the length of the shrimp. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Refrigerate to chill the shrimp for at least 10 minutes before frying.
  • Fill a large heavy-bottom pot with 2 inches of oil, attach a deep- fry thermometer and heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
  • Right before you are ready to start frying, whisk together the seltzer and egg yolk in the cold medium bowl from the freezer. Add 1/4 cup ice. Add the flour and whisk gently 9 to 10 times then put the whisk down! You want the batter to be clumpy to help add extra crispiness to your shrimp (see Cook's Note).
  • Dip batches of the shrimp into the batter while holding the end of the skewer. Coat completely, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Slowly lower the shrimp into the hot oil using tongs. Fry until puffed and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, transfer to the rack on the baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt while still hot. Be sure to bring the oil back up to 375 degrees F between batches.
  • Serve with the blue cheese dressing, butter-hot sauce, carrot and celery sticks.

SHRIMP BATHED IN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON



Shrimp Bathed in Olive Oil and Lemon image

A simple but lavish bath of olive oil and lemon juice is the Italian way of showing off superfresh seafood. The key, according to Marcella Hazan, is that the dish should never see the inside of a refrigerator, which changes the texture of the seafood and the flavor of the olive oil. She calls for shrimp in this recipe, but the formula also works with squid, clams and meaty fish fillets.

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings as an appetizer, 4 to 6 servings as an entree

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
2 pounds medium-large shrimp (about 26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined (tails optional)
Flaky sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1 large pinch freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
Torn or sliced crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, preferably not too deep, so you can watch the shrimp as they cook. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into a baking or serving dish, preferably a white one to show off the colors of the finished dish.
  • Working in a few batches to prevent overcooking, boil the shrimp over high until just firm and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, removing them to a colander with a slotted spoon. When all the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to the olive oil-lemon bath and gently mix to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. The shrimp should be just covered with liquid; pour in more oil as needed. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, spooning some liquid over each serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is frozen or has a slimy texture.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Devein the shrimp and remove the shells. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water.
  • Make sure the tempura batter is cold: Cold batter will help the shrimp stay crispy. You can chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using it.
  • Don't overcrowd the frying pan: Frying too many shrimp at once will lower the temperature of the oil and make the shrimp soggy.
  • Fry the shrimp until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with lemon wedges and olive mayonnaise: The lemon wedges will add a bright, acidic flavor to the shrimp, and the olive mayonnaise will add a creamy, savory flavor.

Conclusion:

Shrimp tempura is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With its crispy coating and tender, juicy shrimp, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. Serve it with lemon wedges and olive mayonnaise for a complete and satisfying meal.
