Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 kaffir lime leaves, roughly torn
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup packed chopped cilantro stems and leaves, plus whole leaves, for serving
4 serrano chiles, seeded and roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 shallots, quartered
One 1-inch-piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 stalk lemongrass (tender inner core from the bottom third only), roughly chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce, plus more, optional
2 teaspoons light brown sugar

1 pound large head-on shrimp (about 12), peeled and deveined with heads and tails left on
Juice of 1 lime
12 small cherry tomatoes, halved
4 ounces snow peas, trimmed

Steps:

  • Put the kaffir lime leaves and 1/3 cup of the oil in a blender. Set at the blender's lowest speed, start the blender and slowly increase the speed to high. Blend for 25 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean small bowl and reserve. Clean the blender carafe.
  • Put the cilantro, chiles, garlic, shallots, ginger, lemongrass, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/3 cup water in the blender. Set at the blender's lowest speed, start the blender and slowly increase the speed to medium-high. Blend for 40 seconds to make a fine puree, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the carafe.
  • Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the cilantro puree. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and olive green, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the fish sauce and brown sugar. Cook 1 minute more, then add the coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups water. Add more salt and fish sauce if desired. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp and lime juice. Cover and cook until the undersides of the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp, cover and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and snow peas, cover and cook until the shrimp are pink on both sides and cooked through, about 1 minute more.

SHRIMP AND GREEN BANANA CURRY (FROM THE ISLAND OF MAURITIUS)



Shrimp and Green Banana Curry (From the Island of Mauritius) image

The food of Mauritius is a fascinating fusion of Chinese, Creole (island), French and Indian cuisine, also with input from South East Asia. France has had a strong influence here, and the main languages are Mauritian Creole and French. The food is either delicate, or spicy and hot. Fruits are used in abundance. This is a simple taste from that far-flung Indian Ocean island, a beloved holiday spot for South Africans. The coral-reef lagoons around most of the island is reminiscent of the Bahamas. I lifted the basic recipe from the local Sunday Times, but I tweaked it. As far as portions go, I always feel it depends on who's eating, and how hungry they are! You decide.

Provided by Zurie

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 23m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons oil (for frying, you might need more)
1 large onion, sliced
1 tablespoon medium curry (fresh and good quality)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed
2 teaspoons ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
6 bananas, large, green, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
1 lb shrimp, peeled, raw weight (can be frozen, but preferably not cooked)
4 curry leaves (or use lemon leaves and bash a little)
4 tomatoes, ripe, peeled, juice pressed out, chopped
1 -2 hot pepper, green, chopped (remove seeds if worried about heat)
1 teaspoon sugar
salt
chopped cilantro, for serving
desiccated coconut, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Add cumin to the curry powder, add the wet spices and coriander, and add just a bit of water, to mix to a paste.
  • Fry the onion until transparent. Add the spice mixture, and stir so it fries and the flavour is released. If it's too thick, add a little more water.
  • Add the bananas and stir. Add about 1/2 cup water, cover, and simmer for about 6 minutes.
  • Add the shrimps, curry or lemon leaves, chopped tomato, hot peppers and sugar. Stir over medium heat, turn heat down, and cook about 8 minutes, until bananas are soft and the shrimps pink and curled. Make sure the banana has softened -- this will depend on degree of greenness or ripeness!
  • Taste for seasoning and add salt.
  • Serve over rice and sprinkle over chopped cilantro. Dessicated coconut can be served on the side, or over the dish as well.
