YUCATAN SHRIMP



Yucatan Shrimp image

This is a dinner to evoke deep summer, when the heat lies heavy even at dusk and humidity wraps you like a blanket: shrimp tossed in garlic butter made fiery with Indonesian sambal and jalapeño, cut by lime, fragrant with cilantro. It is a kind of scampi for the sun-kissed and sun-desirous alike, a vacation on a plate. Add a mojito and a couple of beers. The recipe comes out of southwest Florida, from Doc Ford's Sanibel Rum Bar and Grille, a restaurant that sits off the road that runs slow and sultry along Sanibel Island toward Captiva, past the placid, russet waters of Tarpon Bay. Randy Wayne White, one of the owners, named the place after the fictional protagonist of his mystery novels. The air smells of salt and mangrove there, of tropical rot and fresh-cut grass. He graciously sent along a recipe, which we adapted for use at home, in 2010.

Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large clove garlic, minced
Juice of two large limes
1 tablespoon Indonesian sambal (preferably sambal oelek, by Huy Fong, though sriracha will work as well)
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound large, fresh, shell-on shrimp
1 teaspoon jalapeño, seeded and chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter to saucepan. When it melts, stir in the lime juice, chili sauce, salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and allow the sauce to rest.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes or until they are just firm and pink. Do not overcook. Drain into a colander and shake over the sink to remove excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, toss the shrimp and chili sauce. Add jalapeño, if desired, sprinkle with cilantro and toss again.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your peanut sauce. Use fresh garlic, ginger, and chili peppers for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the garlic and ginger: Garlic and ginger can easily burn, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them over low heat until they are fragrant and slightly softened.
  • Use a variety of nuts: You can use any type of nuts you like in your peanut sauce. Peanuts are the traditional choice, but you can also use almonds, cashews, or walnuts.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some chili peppers or cayenne pepper to your peanut sauce. You can also add some Sriracha or sambal oelek.
  • Balance the flavors: Peanut sauce should be a balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors. If your sauce is too sweet, add some lime juice or vinegar. If it's too sour, add some sugar or honey. And if it's too salty, add some water or coconut milk.
  • Let the sauce cool before serving: Peanut sauce is best served cold or at room temperature. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Peanut sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for dipping spring rolls, satay, or chicken wings. It can also be used as a marinade or dressing. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, peanut sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
