QUICK, SPICY LEEK AND SHRIMP STIR-FRY



Quick, Spicy Leek and Shrimp Stir-Fry image

Searing leeks brings out their crunchy freshness. If you have a large wok, you can use it here; otherwise, a large pan works well. Just be sure to have everything ready to add when needed and let the pan get super hot again between additions. If you have some fresh ginger on hand, toss in a little, minced, when you add the shrimp.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds leeks, preferably smaller, thinner ones
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces peeled and deveined medium shrimp (16 to 20 count), halved lengthwise
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Serving suggestion: steamed white rice

Steps:

  • Trim the ends and dark green tops from the leeks and discard. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Immerse them in a bowl of cold water, swish to remove any grit and lift them out into a colander. Clean the bowl, change the water and repeat until the water remains clear. You should have 6 cups leeks. Once they are all in the colander, toss them a bit with your fingers to separate the leaves.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add half the leeks and a generous pinch each salt and pepper. Spread the leeks into a single layer and cook, without stirring, until slightly charred, about 1 minute. Stir in a small pinch pepper flakes and continue cooking, without stirring, 1 minute. Toss and stir until the leeks just start to wilt, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with 1 tablespoon of the oil, the remaining leeks, a generous pinch each salt and pepper and another small pinch pepper flakes, adding the leeks to the bowl when done.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet (let it get really hot). Add the shrimp, garlic and another pinch pepper flakes (or to taste). Season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing, until the shrimp just starts to turn pink in spots, less than 1 minute. Add the leeks and toss to combine; the shrimp should now be pink. Serve immediately over rice if using.
