Best Orange Ginger Shrimp Snacks Recipes

ORANGE-GINGER SHRIMP SNACKS

Steps:

• In blender, place all ingredients except shrimp; process until well blended.
• In resealable large food-storage plastic bag, place shrimp. Pour oil mixture over shrimp; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes to marinate. Soak bamboo skewers in water while shrimp are marinating.
• Drain shrimp, discarding marinade. Thread shrimp onto bamboo skewers; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Broil 6 inches from heat for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until shrimp turn pink. With kitchen scissors, cut each skewer into 3 pieces.

BLOOD ORANGE-SHRIMP STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the cornstarch and toss to coat; set aside. Juice 3 blood oranges into a small bowl; add the vinegar, honey, ketchup, sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and whisk to combine. Quarter the remaining 2 oranges and thinly slice; set aside.
• Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the snow peas and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain and immediately transfer to the ice bath; let sit until cool, then drain and pat dry.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat; add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the chiles to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the blood orange juice mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir until warmed through, about 1 minute. Add the snow peas, scallions and blood orange slices; toss to combine. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve with rice.

STICKY CRISPY ORANGE SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the sauce: Put the orange juice, ginger, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, crushed red pepper, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and whisk thoroughly to incorporate the cornstarch into the liquid. If you have a few lumps remaining, that is fine. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the crispy shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Add the flour, salt and pepper to a shallow dish. Crack the eggs into a second shallow dish and beat well. Place the panko in a third dish. Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
• Fry the shrimp in 2 batches, flipping halfway through, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Before serving, add the sauce to the bottom of a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with the sliced scallions.

AUSSIE SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE WITH ORANGE GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak 12 long wooded skewers in water for 30 minutes.
• Push skewers through shrimp lengthwise from top to tail, 1 shrimp per skewer.
• Combine all other ingredients in saucepan and cook over low to medium heat, stirring, until butter is completely melted.
• Dip skewered shrimp in orange sauce and position on oiled grill rack about 4 inches above the coals.
• Baste liberally with sauce and grill for 2 minutes.
• Turn shrimp over and baste again, cooking for another 2 minutes.
• Smaller shrimp will be done at this point, but continue basting and turning larger shrimp until they are pink and cooked through.
• Remove from heat immediately when done, as they will get tough if overcooked.
• Use any remaining sauce for a dip for shrimp.

ORANGE-GINGER SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl. Add shrimp; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Remove shrimp from dish, reserving marinade. Thread shrimp and orange quarters alternately onto each of 8 skewers (8 inches in length).
• Heat large grill pan, coated with cooking spray, over medium-high heat. Cook skewers 4 minutes on each side or until done, basting with reserved marinade.

ORANGE-GINGER BLACK PEPPER SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the shrimp, black pepper sauce, grated ginger, orange zest, orange segments, and orange juice ~ marinate for 1/2 hour.
• In a hot skillet or wok, melt the butter and olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, and sherry ~ saute for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the marinated shrimp mixture.
• Saute for about 3-4 minutes until shrimp turns pink.
• NOTE: Sauce will be thin ~ you MIGHT be able to thicken it with a little cornstarch mixed with cold water, then add the cornstarch mixture to the hot sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring, although I read that cornstarch doesn't react well to acidic ingredients so I have not tried to thicken this sauce with it. Perhaps I will buy some arrowroot and try that for this sauce!
• Serve over cooked jasmine rice, with steamed broccoli, or green beans.
