This easy recipe is packed full of flavor! My parents were in the Air Force, traveled through Asia for years and brought back tons of recipes. To this day, we still cook our shrimp with bamboo steamers because of the ease and richness of the flavor imparted.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds medium shrimp in shells
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 14-ounce cans unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons grated or torn lemongrass
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
Steamed white rice, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Soak two 8-inch-long, 4 1/2-inch-wide bamboo steamer pipes in water for 15 to 20 minutes before using to prevent them from burning over an open fire. (See Cook's Note.) If the walls of the bamboo steamer pipes are at least 1 inch thick or if you are using a gas grill, this step is optional.
  • Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Mix in the coconut milk, rice wine vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, cilantro, lemongrass and red chile flakes.
  • Prepare an open fire with grill grates or prepare a gas grill for 350 degrees F.
  • Fill the bamboo pipes with the shrimp mixture. Ensure the liquid fills the bamboo pipes at least three-quarters of the way up. Place the bamboo pipes directly on the grill grates over the open fire or directly on the grates of a gas grill at 350 degrees F. Remove the bamboo pipes when the shrimp are cooked through, after about 30 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Drain the liquid from the bamboo pipes and reserve for the guests to use for dipping or smothering. Serve the shrimp over your favorite side or steamed white rice.

COCONUT-STEWED BAMBOO SHOOTS WITH SHRIMP (GINATAANG TAMBO)



Coconut-Stewed Bamboo Shoots With Shrimp (Ginataang Tambo) image

Dressing seafood in coconut milk is a classic way of cooking it, writes Nicole Ponseca in her book, "I Am a Filipino." Here, shrimp are quickly sautéed in a heady coconut milk sauce laced with onion, ginger and slivers of red chile. Slippery pieces of bamboo shoot (canned, or fresh if you can find it) add texture and a gentle earthiness.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined raw shrimp (I used U10, but any size is fine)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon curry powder
One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (I used A Taste of Thai brand)
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
Hot sauce, as needed, optional
Cooked basmati rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large skillet (I used nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning them over halfway through, until fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and stir to cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions and continue cooking, stirring, for another couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the honey, salt and lime juice, and allow the sauce to heat up until bubbling gently. Add the shrimp to the sauce, tossing to coat, and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt, lime juice or honey, depending on your taste. Stir in the basil. (Add hot sauce if you want a little kick.)
  • Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of cooked basmati rice, garnishing with more basil. Delicious!

THAI SHRIMP AND PORK BALLS OVER COCONUT CURRIED NOODLES



Thai Shrimp and Pork Balls over Coconut Curried Noodles image

Categories     Sauce     Pork     Side     Coconut     Shrimp     Noodle     Simmer     Boil

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Salt
1 pound of thin long-cut pasta
4 scallions, trimmed
3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 serrano or jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, 2 crushed, 2 chopped
4 tablespoons tamari (eyeball it)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup fresh basil, 20 leaves, coarsely chopped or torn
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 pound ground pork
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/3 palmful
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (eyeball it in your palm)
1 tablespoon curry powder, a palmful
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 small carrot, peeled and grated
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water with a tight-fitting lid over high heat and bring it to a boil. Add some salt and the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly and reserve.
  • While the water is coming up to a boil for the pasta, start the shrimp and pork balls. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the scallions, half of the grated ginger, half of the chopped serrano or jalapeño pepper, the garlic, 3 tablespoons of the tamari, half of the cilantro and basil, and the lime zest. Pulse for 30 seconds, scrape down the bowl, and then process 1 minute, or until finely ground. Add the shrimp and pork and process until the shrimp are ground into small pieces and the mixture is well combined but not so fine that it becomes a paste, about 1 minute.
  • Preheat a large nonstick skillet with 4 tablespoons of the oil. With wet palms, roll the shrimp-pork mixture into walnut-size balls and add to the hot skillet as you go. Don't move the balls until they are brown on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn the balls and continue to cook, browning on all sides until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • While the shrimp and pork balls and pasta are cooking, start the coconut curry sauce for the noodles. Preheat a large skillet or soup pot over medium heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the coriander, cumin, and curry powder and toast the spices for about 30 seconds in the hot oil. Add the onions, carrot, bell pepper, the remaining ginger and serrano or jalapeño pepper, and the 2 chopped garlic cloves. Add a little more oil to the pan if it starts to look dry. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any spices that might be sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook the mixture, for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, and the remaining tablespoon of tamari and bring it up to a bubble, then gently simmer for 5 minutes. Add the lime juice and taste and adjust for seasoning with either more tamari or a little salt. If you want a bit more spice, hit it with some hot sauce. Add the cooked drained noodles and the remaining cilantro and basil. Toss to combine. Divide the coconut curried noodles among 4 shallow bowls and top with the shrimp and pork balls.

Categories     Curries

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons peanut oil or 4 tablespoons corn oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 inch fresh ginger, finely chopped
3/4 cup chopped fresh tomatoes or 3/4 cup chopped canned tomato
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon hot red chili pepper flakes (or less to taste)
4 cups fresh bamboo shoots, sliced into thin julienne strips (can substitute canned)
1 cup fresh coconut milk (or 1 cup canned coconut milk plus 1/2 cup plain water)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander, for garnish

Steps:

  • Marinate the shrimp in the lemon juice and salt for 1 hour.
  • Heat the oil in a pan (a dekshi in Calcutta), add the onion, and stir fry it over moderate heat until it turns light brown. Add the garlic and ginger and stir fry another minute. Add the tomato and mix well.
  • Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric and chili flakes and stir for a minute or two to integrate all the seasonings. Add the shrimp and marinade, bamboo shoots, and the coconut milk and water. Simmer the mixture over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Adjust the salt if necessary.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes, which allows the coconut milk to be absorbed by the shrimp and bamboo shoots. Garnish with the fresh coriander.
  • Serve warm with white rice and a variety of table chutneys and pickles.
