This is a very easy recipe for pan-fried shrimp with garlic. I like to just eat them with warm baguette slices, but you can serve them as a main with rice or as an appetizer.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3/4 cup warm water
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon dry yeast
1/2 tablespoon melted lard
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons water
1/2 tablespoon ginger
2 cups rock shrimp, rinsed, drained and chopped
2 cups chopped garlic chives (regular chives can be substituted)
2 eggs
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
Salt and white pepper to taste
Canola oil to cook
1 to 2 cups chicken stock (may substitute water)

Steps:

Mix warm water with sugar to dissolve. Add yeast and let stand for 10 minutes. Mixture should get foamy or the yeast is dead. Mix in lard. In a food processor, add flour and yeast mixture. While blade is spinning, pour in water until a ball forms. If dough is too sticky, add more flour. If dough appears dry and doesn't form a ball, add more water. As soon as a ball forms, take dough out and knead by hand on a floured surface. For 10 minutes roll dough into one long log about 2 inches thick. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, mix the ginger, shrimp, garlic chives, eggs and sesame oil. Season well with salt and pepper. Make thick circles of the dough and place stuffing in the middle. Encircle stuffing with the dough and seal with a little twist. Let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. In a hot saute pan coated well with oil, place shrimp buns flat side down and cook until the bottom is browned. Have pan cover ready and add 1 cup of chicken stock, cover immediately. Be careful, the liquid will splatter! The stock will steam the buns. Check them in 5 minutes as more stock may be needed. The trick here is that once the buns are firm and fully cooked the stock will evaporate and the bottoms will crisp-up again.

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
8 - 10 large raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail on
1 pinch salt, kosher variety, fine grind
1 tsp paprika, hot or mild, your choice
extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1 - 2 pinch red-pepper flakes
2 clove garlic, thinly sliced
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
crusty bread, for dipping
lemon wedges, for serving
OPTIONAL ITEMS
1 splash of dry sherry

Steps:

1. PREP/PREPARE
2. My favorite pan to use for this recipe is a small-size cast-iron pan; however, you can use any pan, big or small.
3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
4. Place the shrimp in a small bowl, and toss with the salt, and paprika. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
5. Add enough extra-virgin olive oil to cover the bottom of your pan, and add the garlic.
6. Adjust the heat to medium-low, and allow the garlic to baste in the warming olive oil.
7. After 2 - 3 minutes toss in the red-pepper flakes, and stir to combine.
8. When the garlic begins to sizzle (about 10 minutes), add the shrimp in a single layer.
9. When they begin to turn pink (about 2 - 3 minutes), flip and cook for an additional minute.
10. Chef's Note: If you are using the sherry, add it as soon as you flip the shrimp over.
11. Remove the pan from the heat, and allow the shrimp to finish cooking in the warm oil, another minute or so.
12. PLATE/PRESENT
13. Serve while still nice and warm, with some crusty bread, for dipping into the wonderful garlic-infused olive oil. Enjoy.
14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
