CRISPY WHOLE THAI FRIED FISH WITH GINGER TAMARIND SAUCE AND COCONUT-CILANTRO RICE PILAF
Steps:
- Special equipment: A large Dutch oven or deep wok, deep-fry thermometer and two 12-inch bamboo skewers
- Prepare the ginger tamarind sauce: In large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 1/4 cup of the canola oil and allow to heat. Add the garlic, shallots and fresh ginger and saute until fragrant and the shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the soy sauce, sugar, tamarind paste, fish sauce, sambal and 1/2 cup water. Stir well and cook until the mixture is slightly reduced and has a maple syrup-like consistency, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Preheat 4 to 5 inches of canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven or deep wok. You need enough oil so the whole fish can be submerged.
- Prepare the fish: Make 3 diagonal slices into the flesh of one side of the snapper, cutting all the way to the bone and spacing the slices 2 inches apart. Repeat with the other side of the fish.
- Combine the cornstarch, rice flour, granulated garlic, ground ginger, salt and pepper in a large baking dish. Lightly dredge the fish all over with the seasoned flour, including inside the cuts. Shake off any excess flour, then form the fish into an "S" curve by threading two 12-inch bamboo skewers through the tail and body so it holds its wavy shape.
- Carefully place the fish into the hot oil so it is almost completely submerged. Fry the fish until deep golden and very crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. As it cooks, use a large metal spoon or ladle to carefully pour hot oil over any exposed part of the fish to ensure it cooks evenly. Carefully remove the fish from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain briefly. Season immediately with salt and lime juice. Carefully remove the skewers from the fish, and place it upright on a platter of Coconut-Cilantro Rice Pilaf. Pour the ginger tamarind sauce over the top. Garnish with the chilies and scallions.
- Rinse the rice by running it under cold water 2 or 3 times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures the rice comes out light and fluffy.
- Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the chili flakes and rice and stir well to coat the kernels evenly with oil. Add the coconut milk, salt, sugar and 1 cup water. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook until all the liquid has absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, keep covered and allow the rice to sit for 5 minutes to steam. Before serving, add the cilantro and fluff with a fork. Yield: 4 to 6 servings
COCONUT CILANTRO RICE WITH PEAS AND CASHEWS
Steps:
- In a large stock pot, over medium-high heat, add the coconut and lightly toast. Remove to a small bowl and set aside. In the same pot, add the oil and the rice and saute until the rice is just starting to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and the coconut milk and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro, cashews and peas. Season with salt and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with the toasted coconut and serve.

Steps:
- Shrimp Marinade: Whisk all of the marinade ingredients for the shrimp, peel and de-vein shrimp, and marinade in a glass (or otherwise non-reactive) bowl for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Coconut Rice: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan bring coconut milk, water, and salt to a boil and stir in rice. Reduce heat to moderately low and simmer rice, covered, until most of liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let rice stand, covered, 5 minutes. Cooking the Shrimp: When almost ready to serve, heat a grill pan on high until hot, and put shrimp on skewers, 5 to a skewer, so that they lay flat. Sprinkle shrimp with a bit more brown sugar, and place the skewers on the grill pan and baste with half of remaining marinade. Turn after 2 minutes and baste with remaining marinade. When shrimp are firm, (2-3 minutes on each side) remove and set on serving dish. Continue to cook liquid in pan until slightly caramelized, then pour or brush over shrimp skewers. Serve with rice, and garnish with remaining 1/2 cup chopped cilantro.

TAMPA COCONUT CILANTRO RICE
This is a Kerala (Southern India) rendition of coconut rice. It's a tad sweeter than regular rice which cuts through much of the spice found in an accompaniment of a spicy curry such as chicken curry.

SHRIMP WITH COCONUT LIME CILANTRO GINGER & RICE
Steps:
- Place raw, even frozen, shrimp in a sauté pan with pat of butter, salt, & the juice of 1 lime on medium heat. Prepare rice in separate pan according to directions, except using part of coconut milk in place of water. If you have a steamer pot, you can steam the asparagus on top of the rice (or pasta) while it's cooking. While the shrimp is cooking, throw in the remaining coconut milk, the crushed garlic cloves, the ginger, and the cilantro. If you choose to also cook chicken, you can remove the shrimp when it's cooked (pink), leaving the juices; add the raw chicken and maybe more garlic, ginger, coconut milk, based on taste and desired sauce quantity. When chicken is cooked through, add the shrimp back, and the steamed asparagus, and stir all together. Serve over the rice/pasta and offer red pepper flakes to those who prefer it hot.
