Best Ginger Citrus Shrimp And Rice Recipes

CHILI-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH GINGER RICE

Steps:

• Bring 2 1/4 cups water and the ginger slices to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Stir in the rice and return to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover and set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix the chicken broth, ketchup, chili-garlic sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch and 1/2 cup water in a measuring cup; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in two batches and cook until no longer translucent, 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove to a large bowl.
• Add the broccoli and 1/2 cup water to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and the water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add to the bowl with the shrimp.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced ginger and stir-fry until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in the prepared sauce and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and broccoli and toss to coat, adding a splash of water to loosen, if needed. Serve with the rice.

CITRUS SHRIMP RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• Whisk orange juice, Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 Tbsp. lime juice in a medium bowl. Set aside half of dressing in a small bowl for serving. Add shrimp to remaining sauce and toss to coat; season lightly with salt. Let sit, tossing occasionally, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a paring knife, remove peel and white pith from oranges, being careful not to remove too much of the flesh; discard. Slice oranges into 1/2"-thick rounds, then cut into 1" pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl and add cucumbers, scallions, and remaining 1 tsp. lime juice; toss to combine. Season with salt.
• Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over high. Working in batches if needed, cook shrimp until charred in spots and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide rice among bowls. Top with shrimp, citrus salad, and avocado and drizzle with reserved dressing.

CUMIN-LIME SHRIMP WITH GINGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp and the cumin until well coated. Season with kosher salt and toss again.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add half the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook undisturbed until they just start turning pink, about 1 minute. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more, then remove from the pan and set aside. They may not be fully cooked at this time, and that's O.K. Repeat with remaining shrimp and leave in the pan.
• Add the reserved shrimp back to the pan with any juices that have accumulated. Stir in the ginger, garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring to make sure the garlic doesn't burn. Add the lime juice to pan and scrape up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture is reduced by about half, about 1 minute more. Stir in the lime zest and scatter with the cilantro. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

SPICED SHRIMP WITH GINGER RICE AND PEAS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add scallion whites and ginger and cook, stirring often, until soft, 3 minutes. Add rice and 1 1/2 cups water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and top with peas. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes, then add scallion greens and fluff rice with a fork.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss shrimp with cumin and coriander and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque throughout, about 4 minutes. Serve shrimp with rice and lime wedges.
