Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound large fresh shrimp (peeled and deveined )
2 small fresh jalapeños (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced 1/2-inch)
½ inch piece fresh ginger (peeled and grated, or 1 tsp ground ginger)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Zest from ½ lime
¼ cup coconut milk
¼ cup fresh basil (cut into thin strips)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the sliced jalapeños, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest, coconut milk, vegetable or olive oil, soy sauce, salt, pepper, lime zest, coconut milk, and three-quarters of the fresh basil in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes so they won't burn.
  • Add the shrimp to the marinade and mix well. Let this mixture marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.Using two skewers, and piercing the shrimp at the head and tail, add about 4 shrimp to each skewer. Using two skewers makes it easier to turn your shrimp. If you only use one, the shrimp have a tendency to twirl around as you are trying to turn them. (Once they are done, if you prefer, you can remove the shrimp from the two skewers and put them on one skewer to serve.)
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat for about 4 minutes until it's smoking hot.
  • Make sure your kitchen exhaust fan is on and add the shrimp skewers. Cook the shrimp until they well browned on each side. This should take about 3-4 minutes total, depending on the size of your shrimp. Don't overcook the shrimp or they will be tough.
  • When all of the shrimp are done, turn the heat off and add any marinade that is left over to the pan. Let it thicken for a minute or two and pour this over your shrimp. Garnish with the rest of your basil.
  • Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!

Coconut-Lime Marinated and Grilled Shrimp image

The quick and easy marinade in this recipe is a great way to use up that leftover coconut milk you have in your refrigerator. It adds a touch of sweetness to grilled shrimp and only takes 30 minutes to infuse tremendous flavor into your next dinner. Serve with steamed white rice or cold rice noodles for a light but delicious meal.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large limes (about 10 ounces)
One 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger
2 large cloves garlic
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup canned coconut milk
Kosher salt
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
1 small scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic and add to the bowl along with the red pepper flakes, canola oil, coconut milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir to combine.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges. Reserve for serving.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels; don't worry if the coconut milk has hardened while it was in the refrigerator. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
  • Top with the sliced scallion and serve with the reserved lime wedges.

CRISPY SHRIMP CAKES WITH CHILE-LIME MAYO



Crispy Shrimp Cakes With Chile-Lime Mayo image

Savory fried shrimp cakes are popular in coastal areas in many parts of the world, with each region adding its own vibrant flavors to the mix. Here, the golden-edged patties are shot through with fresh basil and cilantro for brightness, chiles for heat and a little fish sauce (an ingredient often found in Southeast Asian recipes) for depth. Then, as an untraditional binder, crushed-up rice cakes are mixed in with the shrimp for an ethereal, especially crisp result. But panko or cracker crumbs make acceptable substitutes if rice cakes aren't available.

Categories     weekday, seafood, main course

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 to 5 large original or lightly salted rice cakes, or 6 to 10 thin cakes (see Tip)
1 pound shelled large raw shrimp (20 to 24), coarsely chopped
1/4 cup minced shallot (or use onion or scallion)
6 tablespoons chopped cilantro
6 tablespoons chopped basil leaves, more for serving
3 tablespoons minced jalapeño or red chile pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lime
Safflower, peanut or grapeseed oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In the bowl of the food processor (or you can use a blender), add the rice cakes and pulse until you get 1 1/4 cups rice cake crumbs. Return 1/4 cup crumbs to the food processor, reserving the remaining 1 cup for coating the cakes.
  • Add shrimp, shallot, 4 tablespoons each of the cilantro and basil, and 2 tablespoons jalapeño to the crumbs. Add 2 teaspoons fish sauce, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse, chunky paste. (Be careful not to overprocess; if using a blender, scrape down the sides frequently.) Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate while you make the sauce (at least 15 minutes and up to 24 hours).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, remaining cilantro, basil, jalapeño and fish sauce. Zest the lime into the bowl, then cut the naked lime into wedges and squeeze in some juice. Salt to taste. Reserve extra lime wedges for serving.
  • Spread remaining 1 cup rice cake crumbs out onto a plate or sheet pan. With wet hands to keep shrimp paste from sticking, form 2 tablespoons of shrimp mixture into a 1/2-inch-thick patty and put it on top of the crumbs. Repeat with remaining shrimp mixture, re-wetting your hands as necessary. Turn the patties over in the crumbs to coat both sides.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry patties in batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve shrimp cakes topped with more basil leaves, with chile-lime sauce for dunking and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

COCONUT-LIME SHRIMP



Coconut-Lime Shrimp image

You can make this gingery, lightly sweet shrimp stew as tangy and spicy as you like by adjusting the amounts of chile and lime juice. Using full-fat coconut milk gives you the richest and most flavorful dish. But light coconut milk will also work, resulting in something brothier and more souplike. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp. As soon as they turn pink, they're done.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 shallots, diced
1 to 2 jalapeño or serrano peppers, seeded if you like, minced
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons freshly grated or minced ginger
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk (1 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1 pound peeled large shrimp
1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon coconut sugar or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce, plus more to taste
Cooked rice, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots, jalapeño and a large pinch of salt, and cook until starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
  • Stir in coconut milk, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Stir in shrimp, lime zest, lime juice, sugar and fish sauce. Continue to simmer until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more lime juice, salt or fish sauce, or all three, if needed.
  • Serve over rice, with remaining cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
