Categories     Shrimp     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Tamarind     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lb jumbo (8 to 12 per lb) shrimp
3 teaspoons sea salt dissolved in 11/2 cups water
For tamarind sauce
1 tablespoon tamarind from a pliable block
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon chopped cleaned fresh cilantro roots and/or stems, pounded to a paste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Sriracha or other Asian hot chile sauce

Garnish: 2 fresh serrano or jalapeño chiles, seeded, halved lengthwise, and finely julienned crosswise; and fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for cooking.

  • Grill shrimp on their sides on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until shells are pink and slightly charred and shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, grill shrimp in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderate heat.)

Another Monica Bhide recipe! We had the shrimp late last night and I woke up this morning wishing I had some more, they were so delicious! ;) I suggest that you make double the quantity and keep them ready to serve!!! We made these for the seafood and protein lovers! Monica Bhide's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009). There is a 2 hr marinating time for which I didn't allow.

Categories     Lemon

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons prepared tamarind-date chutney
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon coriander seed, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium to large)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, chutney, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), coriander, and salt;. mix well.
  • Add the shrimp and toss well to coat; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • About 10 minutes before serving time, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Just before the oil starts smoking, add the shrimp and marinade to the pan.
  • Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and no longer translucent.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and pour any liquid from the pan over the shrimp.
  • Serve warm with basmatti rice with chives.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, or they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the tamarind glaze is thick and sticky. If it is too thin, it will not coat the shrimp properly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the salad. This will add flavor, color, and texture.
  • Serve the salad immediately. The tamarind glaze will harden as it cools, so it is best to serve the salad while it is still warm.

Conclusion:

Tamarind glazed shrimp salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The tamarind glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the shrimp, and the vegetables add a refreshing crunch. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
