SPICED SALT-BAKED SHRIMP



Spiced Salt-Baked Shrimp image

The chef Adam Evans of The Optimist in Atlanta likes to roast big, fresh Southern shrimp with the heads in a deep dish of rock salt studded with spices, an easy method that produces tender, delicately flavored and perfectly seasoned shrimp. Here, headless shrimp take on fragrance from cinnamon and star anise and get heat from jalapeños. The presentation is spectacular for a dinner party. Let the salt cool completely before you toss it out.

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Bake     Dinner     Shrimp     Winter     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound medium-large shrimp (about 12), feelers removed, shell slit along vein and deveined
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups water
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 quart peanut oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh Thai chilies

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp and baking soda in a bowl and mix well to coat. Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes.
  • Place the water and 1 tablespoon salt in a pot, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and water-blanch for 10 seconds. Remove the shrimp with a strainer and run cold water through them to cool. The water-blanching removes all of the liquid from the shrimp.

Place the shrimp in a Chinese strainer, lower into the oil, and oil-blanch for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, remove with the strainer, and drain. Transfer the oil from the wok to a bowl.
  • Return 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil to the wok and heat over high heat for 20 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the chilies and cook, stirring, for 45 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, making certain they are well coated, for 1 minute. They should be dry and crusted. Turn off the heat, transfer to a heated platter, and serve.

SPICY BAKED SHRIMP



Spicy Baked Shrimp image

We make this at least once a month. I think it is originally from long, long ago Bon Apetit magazine, I clipped out the recipe and have it pasted in a cooking scrap-book. Prep time does NOT include peeling and deveining the shrimp as many stores now sell shrimp all cleaned up for you and ready to prepare! Prep time DOES include time for marinating. Keep in mind, many Creole and Cajun Seasonings can be salty, so you may want to adjust for that in regards to the recipe in general or the use of soy sauce!
