SKINNY CRISPY ROCK SHRIMP



Skinny Crispy Rock Shrimp image

This recipe is a skinnier version of Nobu's famous fried rock shrimp appetizer that's typically fried and doused in a creamy spicy mayo-based sauce. My version is baked and uses Greek yogurt, sriracha and sesame oil to create a healthier, yet still drool-worthy copycat!

With tongs, take a few battered rock shrimp and place into the crumbs to coat. On a sheet pan sprayed well with cooking spray, arrange shrimp into one even layer.For pre-coated shrimp: In a bowl, spray frozen shrimp well with cooking spray.

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 to 2 pounds rock salt (enough to fill your casserole by 1 inch)
5 to 6 clove garlic, minced
Good olive oil, for drizzling
5 large shrimp, head and shells left on

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Select a 2-inch deep casserole dish that is large enough to hold the shrimp in a single layer. Add the rock salt to form a 1-inch bed in the dish. Slide the casserole dish into the oven and heat for 30 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and olive oil to a mixing bowl to prepare the marinade.
  • Make an incision down the back of each of the shrimp. Devein or remove the intestine from each piece and add the shrimp to the marinade. Toss together to coat, and let the ingredients rest for at least 10 minutes.
  • Once heated, pull your casserole dish from the oven and arrange the shrimp on the bottom in 1 layer. Return the dish to the oven, and roast for 2 minutes. Turn each shrimp over, and set them aside to let the residual heat from the pan finish cooking their second sides. Serve warm.

SPICED SALT-BAKED SHRIMP



Spiced Salt-Baked Shrimp image

The chef Adam Evans of The Optimist in Atlanta likes to roast big, fresh Southern shrimp with the heads in a deep dish of rock salt studded with spices, an easy method that produces tender, delicately flavored and perfectly seasoned shrimp. Here, headless shrimp take on fragrance from cinnamon and star anise and get heat from jalapeños. The presentation is spectacular for a dinner party. Let the salt cool completely before you toss it out.
