Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds jumbo or extra jumbo shrimp (16-21 ct) (peeled with tails left on and deveined)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (divided)
2 tablespoons olive oil, (divided)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tsp EACH chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder
1/2 tsp EACH smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped ((measure before chopping))
3-4 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Add marinade ingredients to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add shrimp and marinate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 60 minutes (no more!). Note, this is a wet rub marinade and will be thick without extra liquid.
  • Melt one tablespoon butter in one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Increase heat to medium-high. Once very hot and sizzling, add half the shrimp in a single layer and cook approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or just until opaque and cooked through. Transfer shrimp to a plate and repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • To the now empty skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the cilantro and lime juice and stir to combine. Add shrimp back to the skillet and stir to evenly coat. Taste and season with salt, pepper, cayenne and/or lime juice to taste.

Garlic Butter Shrimp with Cilantro and Lime image

Garlic shrimp cooked in a creamy cilantro lime butter sauce. Serve this as an appetizer, with pasta, over rice or in tortillas for tacos. The recipe is easy to adapt. Swap lime for lemon and try other tender herbs like parsley, dill, basil or tarragon in place of cilantro.

Categories     appetizer, main meal

Time 20m

Yield Makes 1 pound shrimp (16 to 20 shrimp, depending on size)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled with tails left on and deveined
1 lime plus a few extra wedges for serving
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic, about 6 cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, optional
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp dry then season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • Use a microplane to zest the lime and set aside. Cut the zested lime in half ready for the sauce later in the recipe.
  • Add one tablespoon of the butter to a wide skillet. Save the remaining two tablespoons for later.
  • Place the skillet with butter over medium heat then add the garlic and coriander. Stir the garlic around the pan until the butter melts and is bubbling; about 1 minute.
  • Add the shrimp, nestling them into the pan so that they are in one layer. A few shrimp stacked on top of each other is okay. Cook until the shrimp start to turn pink, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the scallions and lime zest. Continue to cook, stirring, until the shrimp are firm and opaque throughout; another 1 to 2 minutes. Slide the skillet off of the heat.
  • With the skillet off of the heat, add the cilantro, juice from the lime and the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Stir the butter around the pan so that it melts into the lime juice making the creamy butter sauce.
  • Taste then season as needed with salt and pepper. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.

CRISPY CILANTRO-CHILE SHRIMP



Crispy Cilantro-Chile Shrimp image

These zesty, pan-fried shrimp are inspired by the cuisine of Maharashtra, the state on the west coast of India that includes Mumbai. Maharashtrian cooking often features lots of seafood and bright, fresh flavors, like the wallop of cilantro that flavors this dish. (Puréeing cilantro, as in this recipe, changes the enzyme that makes it taste soapy to some people, and reveals a deeply savory, almost mellow side to the herb.) A coating of farina, of which Cream of Wheat cereal is made, gives a dramatically craggy, crunchy texture; rava or semolina flour also work well. Be sure to pat the farina onto the shrimp before frying to help the coating adhere. Serve the shrimp with flatbreads, like chapatis.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces cilantro leaves and stems (about 2 medium bunches or 1 large bunch), cut to fit into a blender
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 serrano chile, stemmed, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus up to ¾ cup for frying
1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lime juice (from about 1 lime), plus lime wedges for serving
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 1/2 pounds large or extra-large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
1 1/4 cups farina, rava or semolina flour

Steps:

  • Combine the cilantro, garlic, chile, 2 tablespoons oil, ginger, lime juice, turmeric, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Purée, using a wooden spoon or the blender wand to help combine ingredients if necessary. Scrape the puréed mixture into a bowl. Add the shrimp and use your hands or a spatula to evenly combine. Marinate for up to 1 hour in the refrigerator, if possible, or proceed immediately to Step 2.
  • Dredge the shrimp: Pour the farina onto a lipped plate or into a large shallow bowl and season with two generous pinches of salt; toss to combine. Let the marinade cling to the shrimp, then dredge the shrimp in the farina, patting the farina onto each shrimp to adhere, and carefully shaking off any excess crumbs. Place the dredged shrimp on a parchment- or foil-lined sheet pan.
  • Heat ¼ cup of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in 2 or 3 batches, depending on the size of your pan and the size of your shrimp, lay the shrimp in the pan in one layer and fry without disturbing until the shrimp are deeply golden brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes. Gently flip with tongs or a spatula and fry until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. (If any large shards of coating come off the shrimp, remove them from the oil, and serve with the shrimp.) Wipe the skillet clean of crumbs with a paper towel and add more oil to the pan as necessary to maintain the amount, and repeat the pan-frying process with the remaining shrimp. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the Freshest Ingredients: This recipe relies on the quality of the ingredients, so make sure to select the freshest cilantro, shrimp, and fruits.
  • Prep Your Ingredients: To save time, prep all your ingredients before starting to cook. Devein and peel the shrimp, wash and chop the cilantro and fruits, and prepare any additional ingredients needed.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp become tough and rubbery, so cook them just until they turn opaque and pink.
  • Use a Variety of Fruits: Feel free to experiment with different types of fruits in this recipe. Some popular options include mango, pineapple, papaya, oranges, and grapefruit.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a spicier marinade, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you want a milder flavor, reduce the amount of jalapeño or omit it altogether.
  • Serve Immediately: For the best flavor, serve the cilantro-marinated shrimp with fruit salad immediately after cooking.

Conclusion:

Cilantro-marinated shrimp with fruit salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. The marinade infuses the shrimp with a delicious blend of cilantro, lime, garlic, and jalapeño, while the fruit salad adds a sweet and tangy contrast. This recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, this dish is sure to be a hit.
