STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SPICY GREENS



Stir-Fried Shrimp With Spicy Greens image

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.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce (more to taste)
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 jalapeño or serrano chiles, minced
3/4 to 1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
1 large red bell pepper, cut in 2-inch julienne
1 generous bunch amaranth (about 3/4 pound), stemmed and washed, or 1 generous bunch beet greens, stemmed, washed and roughly chopped (about 8 cups greens)
1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts only, cut in half lengthwise and cut in 1-inch lengths
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

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.

ALMOST-FAMOUS SPICY FRIED SHRIMP



Almost-Famous Spicy Fried Shrimp image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce (such as sambal oelek)
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deveined
Bibb lettuce leaves, for serving
Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish

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.

SPICY SHRIMP STIR-FRY



Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry image

I've always hated stir-fry that skimps on the shrimp, so I made sure this recipe had more shrimp than anything else. Serve over plain or Ginger Coconut Rice. This recipe comes from Out of the Frying Pan.

Provided by Docs Mom

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons thai oil
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup snow peas, strings removed
1 cup red bell pepper, seeds removed, cut into 1 inch squares
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon red curry paste
salt and pepper, to taste
green onion, chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok or a heavy skillet over high heat. Add shrimp and stir-fry about 1-2 minutes on each side or until the shrimp is just cooked through. Remove shrimp from the wok with a slotted spoon and transfer it on a plate.
  • Add snow peas, bell pepper, onion, ginger and garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add coconut milk, soy sauce, and curry paste. Boil until sauce thickens slightly, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and stir for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately. Garnish with green onions, if desired.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: Use the freshest shrimp and vegetables you can find for the best flavor and texture.
  • Properly devein and clean shrimp: Deveining removes the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat. To devein shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp, then remove the vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, cornstarch, and ginger helps to tenderize them and add flavor.
  • Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for stir-frying. The high heat helps to quickly cook the shrimp and vegetables without overcooking them.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of shrimp and vegetables, stir-fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the wok. Overcrowding can cause the shrimp and vegetables to steam instead of stir-frying.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the stir-fry helps to prevent it from burning.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried shrimp with spicy greens is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
