Best 6 A La Truck Shrimp Recipes

HAWAIIAN GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry and set aside.
• Combine mochiko flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the shrimp, toss to coat, and set aside.
• In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and cook till toasty and golden brown (about 3 minutes). Pour the garlic and butter out into a bowl.
• Add olive oil to the skillet. Once the oil is warm, add the shrimp (single layer only, do this in two batches if needed). Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side, till it's nicely crisp and browned.
• Pour the garlic butter back into the pan, and mix with the shrimp. Cook for another minute, and then you're done! Squeeze lemon all over and eat with rice.

SHRIMP A LA DIABLA (CAMARONES A LA DIABLA)

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add vegetable oil, then add the Yunnan chiles. Fry until the chiles are a dark red color, about 5 minutes.
• Add chiles to a 64-ounce blender along with the garlic, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 cups water. Blend together until you have a thick, smooth consistency, about 3 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add blended diabla sauce and bring to a boil (see Cook's Note).
• Heat a separate skillet over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Saute shrimp until they are half cooked, about 3 minutes, then add the diabla sauce. Keep over medium heat until shrimp are fully cooked, another 3 minutes.
• Serve shrimp with a side of rice and beans and enjoy with corn or flour tortillas.

SHRIMP A LA PLANXA

Steps:

• Starting at the thick end of each shrimp, remove 1inch of shell and make a 1inch slit down the exposed flesh. Heat a clean griddle or skillet and wipe down with an oiled cloth. Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and place on the hot oiled skillet to cook 1 minute. Turn and continue on second side. Finish cooking the shrimp by placing each on the slit end for 1 minute. Serve with the lemon wedges.

A LA TRUCK SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thoroughly combine the lime juice, sugar, fish sauce or oyster sauce and sambal or chili paste in a jar or small bowl sauce (increase the amount of sambal if you’re a heat freak).
• (Sambal is available in the condiment section of most Asian markets and in the specialty or gourmet section of some large supermarkets).
• Pour this sauce into a 10-inch non-stick pan.
• Turn the heat to medium high and bring to a boil.
• Add the shrimp and reduce heat to medium low.
• Cook until the shrimp is tender and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes (depending on size of shrimp) – if you like a thicker sauce, temporarily remove the cooked shrimp with a slotted spoon while the sauce continues to thicken, this will prevent the shrimp from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
• Add cilantro to the sauce.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings, pour over cooked rice or noodles.

COMPANY'S IN THE DRIVEWAY SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Serve immediately with tortilla chips, if desired.
