Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

24 jumbo tiger shrimp (about 10 per pound), deveined
1/4 cup fresh lime (substitution: lemon juice)
1/4 cup palm sugar or granulated sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 large garlic clove, finely grated
1 to 2 fresh red Thai chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1/4 cup packed fresh Thai basil, minced (substitution: mint or cilantro leaves)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sour Mango Salad, recipe follows
4 large green mangos, peeled, halved lengthwise, sliced using an Asian shredder or julienned with a knife
2 large carrots, peeled and julienned
2 red Thai chiles, stemmed, seeded, and sliced into thin rounds
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (substitution: lemon juice)
1/3 cup fish sauce
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, cut through the back shell of each shrimp. Remove the dark vein by running your forefinger between the shell and the flesh of each shrimp, keeping the shell intact. Reserve shrimp in a re-sealable gallon plastic bag.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved, then add the fish sauce. Add the garlic, chile, Thai basil, and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir well and pour over the reserved shrimp in the plastic bag. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air. Massage the bag to make sure that all of the shrimp are covered and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat. Oil the grill pan with remaining oil. Grill the shrimp, turning once to prevent burning, until evenly pink and golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve shrimp on large plate over Sour Mango Salad.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH MANGO SALSA



Sauteed Shrimp With Mango Salsa image

I recently saw this recipe for mango salsa made on an episode of The Barefoot Contessa. This particular show was featuring "healthy" recipes for a change, and this version of a mango salsa simmered on the stove top, then finished with fresh herbs sounded quite good. The original recipe had seared tuna steaks served over the salsa, but I chose to mix in some sauted shrimp as well. Also, on the show, Ina Garten uses fresh mint leaves, but I prefer to use a mix of fresh cilantro and basil, just to be different.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL WITH THREE SAUCES



Shrimp Cocktail with Three Sauces image

At your next family dinner, serve shrimp cocktail with not one but three easy, crowd-pleasing dipping sauces-mango-basil, remoulade, and tomato-horseradish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 20

Coarse salt
1 pound (about 25) large shrimp, heads (optional) and shells on
2 small mangoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 lemon, peeled and rind finely chopped (2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground white pepper
5 basil leaves, thinly sliced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon spicy stone-ground mustard, preferably Creole
3 tablespoons finely chopped celery
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped scallion
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chili sauce, such as Heinz
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp: Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Boil shrimp until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Drain, and refrigerate.
  • Make the mango-basil sauce: Pulse mangoes, lemon rind and juice, vinegar, salt, and white pepper in a food processor until smooth. Fold in basil. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
  • Make the tomato-horseradish sauce: Stir together chili sauce, horseradish, and lemon juice. Season with black pepper. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
  • Make the remoulade: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir in celery, parsley, and scallion. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately (or refrigerate for up to 1 day).
  • Place shell-on shrimp in a large bowl, or peel shrimp and arrange in small serving dishes. Serve with the 3 sauces on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Look for shrimp that is firm, translucent, and has no off odors.
  • If using frozen shrimp, thaw it properly. The best way to thaw shrimp is to place it in a colander in the refrigerator overnight. You can also thaw shrimp by placing it in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooking shrimp will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Use ripe mangoes. Ripe mangoes are sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe mangoes.
  • Use fresh basil. Fresh basil has a more intense flavor than dried basil.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. Letting it sit will make it tough and rubbery.

Conclusion:

Shrimp with Mango Basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its sweet and savory flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
