SPICY PASSION FRUIT-GLAZED SHRIMP



Spicy Passion Fruit-Glazed Shrimp image

Passion fruit gives the glaze a sweet-and-sour taste. Serve these kebabs over a bed of basmati or jasmine rice. When straining the glaze, press with the back of a spoon to extract as much passion fruit pulp as possible. Add a green salad and you have a perfect summer meal. From the June, 2005 Cooking Light.

BORA BORA BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP WITH PASSION FRUIT MUSTARD



Bora Bora Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp With Passion Fruit Mustard image

Star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten follows a morning of Jet-skiing on a turquoise lagoon with an exuberant afternoon of creating recipes for his new Bora Bora restaurant. He planned to punch up his shrimp with a simple mustard sauce, but the spectacular passion fruits on Bora Bora gave his sauce a tangy kick. Store-bought passion fruit juice also works well if you can't make it to the island to pick the fruits.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup passion fruit juice
1 Thai red chili pepper, halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
3 tablespoons honey
1 thai green chili pepper, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 Hass avocado, quartered and thinly sliced
extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, boil the passion fruit juice with the red chile until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in another saucepan, toast the cumin seeds over moderate heat until fragrant.
  • Add the honey and green chile and bring to a simmer, remove from the heat and let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Strain the honey and stir in 1 teaspoon of the water.
  • In a bowl, blend the dry mustard with the remaining 2 teaspoons of water; let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the Dijon mustard.
  • Strain the reduced passion fruit juice into the mustard and season with salt.
  • Fire your grill and wrap each shrimp in a slice of bacon.
  • Grill the shrimp over moderately high heat, turning a few times, until the bacon is lightly charred and the shrimp are cooked throughout, about 4 minutes.
  • Fan the avocado slices on each plate and top with the shrimp. Spoon the mustard around the shrimp, then spoon the honey around the mustard. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil, garnish with the passion fruit seeds and cilantro and serve.
