Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 1/2 TBS Sriracha
1 TBS rice vinegar
2 TBS sugar
2-3 TBS cornstarch
1 lb medium/large pre-cooked shrimp (shells and tails removed, devained (can buy already like this), defrosted)
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
2 cups shredded cabbage blend (I like green and purple/red)
2 medium tomatoes (diced)
2 stalks green onion (chopped)

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a jar or bowl, whisk until completely combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat oil in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375 degrees (it should NOT be smoking).
  • Make sure the shrimp are dry (pat dry with paper towels if needed). Coat with cornstarch. Add shrimp carefully to the oil, fry 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. You may need to flip or stir the shrimp if they aren't fully submerged in the oil. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Add a bit of sauce to the shrimp and toss lightly to coat.
  • Place 1/2 cup rice in a bowl, add 1/4 the cooked shrimp, 1/2 cup cabbage blend, 1/4 of the diced tomatoes, and sprinkle some green onion. Top with bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor. This is especially important for the shrimp and vegetables.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a Good Quality Rice: The type of rice you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a rice that is specifically designed for Asian cuisine, such as jasmine rice or basmati rice.
  • Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for later use. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the bowls.

Conclusion:

This Asian shrimp rice bowl is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of shrimp, rice, vegetables, and sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can have this dish on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Asian shrimp rice bowl a try. You won't be disappointed!
