LINGUINE WITH SCALLOPS AND SHRIMP IN THAI GREEN CURRY SAUCE



Linguine With Scallops and Shrimp in Thai Green Curry Sauce image

A delicious Thai dish from Gourmet, December 2000. The sauce is a little thin so I like to thicken the sauce at the end of preparation with a cornstarch/water mixture.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 (1 1/2 pound) live lobsters
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
16 skewers, soaked in cold water
Green Curry-Mango Sauce, recipe follows
Chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
4 ounces black caviar, optional
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup canola oil
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 serrano chile, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons green curry paste
3 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
2 cups water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and boil until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high. Drain the lobsters and put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Then drain the lobsters well, remove the tail from the lobster, and carefully remove the tail meat from the shell.
  • Skewer each tail onto 2 skewers so that the meat lies flat. Brush the tails with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until slightly charred.
  • Place the lobster skewers on a platter and drizzle with some of the sauce over top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and garnish with lime wedges. Top with dollops of caviar, if desired. Serve the remaining sauce in small bowls for individual dipping.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and serrano chile and cook for 1 minute. Add the curry paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add mangoes and water, stir well, and cook until the mango is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender (see *Cook's Note below). Add the lime juice, cilantro, and honey and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup oil and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

COCONUT MANGO GREEN CURRY COCKTAIL SAUCE



Coconut Mango Green Curry Cocktail Sauce image

Yesterday I served Christmas Brunch for my family. This year I was not my typical over-the-top foodie self and opted for a simple brunch. My one signature "Star" of the meal was a Shrimp cocktail bar with 4 very different types of cocktail sauces. I searched the internet for ideas, recipes, and was able to compile my taste buds and about 100 recipes into four choices. This one was REALLY good....rated as second best of the four. Since I'm a big fan of Green Curry lately, I really really loved it!

Provided by Melanie B.

Categories     Mango

Time 40m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons green curry paste
3 mangoes, peeled, pit removed, roughly diced
1 small red onion, roughly diced
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
2 serrano chili peppers, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon lime zest
salt, to season
pepper, to season

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients except the cilantro into a sauce pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and cool for a few minutes. Place in a blender or use a hand held blender to puree mixture.
  • Place back in the sauce pot, cook over medium to medium-low heat and reduce to your desired thickness.
  • When making this sauce for shrimp cocktail, I like it much thicker so I did use about a tablespoon of cornstarch -- made a slurry -- and brought back up to a boil to thicken a bit. If you do this, however, do not use too much cornstarch that would alter the flavor.
  • Chill the sauce before serving. Add cilantro right before serving.
  • This sauce can also be used as a sauce for any other dishes -- chicken, vegetables, etc. On the heat scale, I would place it as a 2 out of 5 -- a little kick but not much. Add additional Serranos if you desire more heat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices will give your green curry sauce the best flavor. If you can, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
  • Toast your spices: Toasting your spices before you add them to the sauce will bring out their flavor. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in a toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Use a good quality coconut milk: Coconut milk is a key ingredient in green curry sauce, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for coconut milk that is unsweetened and has a high fat content.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat: Green curry sauce can be made as mild or as spicy as you like. If you want a milder sauce, use less chili peppers. If you want a spicier sauce, use more chili peppers or add some chopped habanero peppers.
  • Serve with your favorite rice or noodles: Green curry sauce is traditionally served with jasmine rice, but you can also serve it with other types of rice or noodles, such as basmati rice, brown rice, or udon noodles.

Conclusion:

Green curry sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to make a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, green curry sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
