Yield Makes 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Tomato-chipotle puree
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chiles*
Avocado puree
2 large ripe avocados, peeled, pitted
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 tablespoons minced jalapeño chiles
Shrimp tempura
Vegetable oil (for deep-frying)
2 cups rice flour**
2 cups club soda
24 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail shells left intact
4 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce

Steps:

  • For tomato-chipotle puree:
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until very brown, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and chipotle chiles. Cook 1 minute. Transfer mixture to blender; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer puree to bowl. Cover and chill until cold.
  • For avocado puree:
  • Combine all ingredients in processor; puree until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer puree to bowl. Press plastic wrap onto surface of puree; chill at least 20 minutes and up to 3 hours.
  • For shrimp tempura:
  • Add enough vegetable oil to heavy large pot to reach depth of 3 1/2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 375°F.
  • Whisk rice flour and club soda in large bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip shrimp into batter and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to paper towels.
  • Divide romaine among 8 stemmed cocktail glasses. Simultaneously pour 1/4 cup tomato puree and 1/4 cup avocado puree over romaine in each glass, letting purees meet in center. Hang 3 shrimp over rim of each glass.
  • *Chipotle chiles canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
  • **Rice flour is available at specialty and natural foods stores.

Tips:

  • Use very cold water when making the tempura batter. This will help the batter to be light and crispy.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the batter tough.
  • Use a large pot or deep fryer to fry the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking together.
  • Fry the shrimp until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the shrimp on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp tempura is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It is perfect for parties or potlucks. With its crispy coating and spicy filling, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give spicy shrimp tempura a try!
