Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water; drain again. Transfer the edamame to the bowl of a food processor and add the coconut milk, scallion, ginger, lime juice, 4 teaspoons of the Sriracha, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup water. Process until you have a fairly smooth paste, about 1 minute. Taste the dip and add more salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons Sriracha if you like. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with a drizzle of Sriracha. Serve with rice crackers and assorted vegetables for dipping. Cook's Note: Edamame are firmer than most beans, and as a result they make a slightly chunky puree. If you prefer a dip with a very smooth texture, pass it through a sieve after pureeing it, using a spatula to work it through.

Time 40m
Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Divide the shrimp between two 8- or 9-inch pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
- Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn the heat to high. When the foam subsides, invert a pie pan of shrimp over the skillet so they fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other pan of shrimp. Cook the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn off the heat. Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the ginger, lime juice and zest, mint, and basil to each pan, and shake to combine.
- Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Strain, and reserve liquid. Margarita: Fill shaker with ice, tequila, Cointreau, lime and ginger-lime base. Shake. Pour into a rocks glass. Garnish with lime wedge.
Tips:
- For a smoother dip, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
- If you like a spicier dip, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger or a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- To make the dip ahead of time, simply whisk together the ingredients and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before using.
- This dip is also great as a marinade for chicken or fish. Simply coat the protein in the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cooking. The lime juice in the dip will help to tenderize the protein and the ginger and garlic will add a delicious flavor.
