Steps:
- Put shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add turmeric, cayenne, black pepper, garlic, ginger, garam masala, chile, cilantro, mint and lemon juice. Toss to coat well and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes. (May marinate up to several hours in advance, refrigerated.)
- Make the chutney: Put mint, cilantro, garlic, ginger, sugar, salt, cumin and chile in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Purée until smooth, using a little ice water as necessary to help blend the mixture. Add lime juice and transfer to a small serving bowl.
- Just before frying, sprinkle rice flour and chickpea flour over reserved shrimp and toss to coat. Then sprinkle with 1 or 2 tablespoons water and toss. Shrimp should now have a batter-like coating.
- Heat an inch of oil in a wok until nearly smoking, about 375 degrees. Fry a few shrimp at a time until golden and crisp, a minute or so per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until all shrimp are fried. Serve with green chutney.
ALMOST-FAMOUS SPICY FRIED SHRIMP
When Bang Bang Shrimp first hit the menu at Bonefish Grill eight years ago, it was a flop. The dish - crunchy fried shrimp in Thai chili sauce - wasn't the problem. The name was. After chain founder Tim Curci changed the name from Creamy Spicy Shrimp to Bang Bang Shrimp, the appetizer became the restaurant's best-selling dish. And as the shrimp exploded in popularity, so did Bonefish Grill. The chain now has more than 150 locations across the country. Regulars everywhere have a nickname for the signature snack: They just order a "Bang." Many of these fans, including Lori Piscopo from Valley Township, PA, wrote to us asking for the recipe, and while Curci remained tight-lipped on the details, Food Network Kitchens managed to create this perfect imitation.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, chili sauce, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl; set aside.
- Prepare the shrimp: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Whisk the flour, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in another shallow bowl.
- Working in batches, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, dip in the beaten eggs, then return to the flour mixture, turning to form a thick crust. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
- Toss the shrimp with the prepared sauce. Arrange the lettuce in a shallow serving bowl or on individual plates. Top with the shrimp and garnish with scallions.

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SPICY GREENS
Whenever I use a red-tinged vegetable like amaranth in a dish I know the vegetable is bringing with it lots of antioxidant-rich anthocyanins, a flavonoid found in dark red and blue pigments. Use beet greens if you can't find amaranth; they will bring with them the same red pigments, which make for a richly colored sauce. For a beautiful meal, serve the stir-fry with red rice, like Bhutanese rice.

Steps:
- Combine the broth, 2 teaspoons of the soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the rice wine or sherry and sugar in a small bowl. Combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, and the minced chiles in another bowl. Have all of your ingredients within reach of your wok or pan.
- In a medium bowl combine the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry, and 1 tablespoon of the ginger. Stir together well. Lightly salt the shrimp and toss with the cornstarch mixture until coated.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add in the oil by pouring it on the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Add the garlic, ginger and chiles and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the shrimp with any liquid in the bowl and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and opaque. Add the amaranth (or beet greens) and scallions, stir-fry for about 30 seconds, add the broth mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the greens have wilted. Add the cilantro and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and serve with rice or noodles, red rice being my first choice.

SPICY SHRIMP WITH 2 SAUCES
Steps:
- In a glass baking-dish toss the shrimp with the garlic, chiles and olive oil. Cover and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 24 hours. Preheat grill or broiler and cook shrimp, brushing occasionally with marinade, for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Toast seeds and peppercorns in dry skillet. Transfer to grinder and grind. Transfer to food processor and add shallots, garlic, ginger, lime zest and juice, and lemon zest, cilantro, basil and chiles and process to a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper. At this point mixture can be stored in airtight container up to 1 week. In a bowl combine curry mixture and yogurt, lime juice. Stir.
- In a saucepan, combine tomatoes, sugar, salt, garam masala, serrano, garlic, ginger, and lime zest. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer to food processor and puree, adding oils. Puree until smooth. Season, to taste, and finish off with some lemon juice.
Tips:
- When deveining the shrimp, make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the black vein. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shrimp.
- To make the shrimp extra crispy, coat them in a cornstarch slurry before frying. This will help to create a barrier between the shrimp and the oil, preventing the shrimp from becoming soggy.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the shrimp to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy shrimp.
- Fry the shrimp in small batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough.
- Serve the fried shrimp immediately with the green chutney. The chutney can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Garnish the fried shrimp with cilantro or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
This recipe for spicy fried shrimp with green chutney is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the green chutney is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
