GRILLED PRAWNS WITH CILANTRO AND GINGER SAUCE



Grilled Prawns With Cilantro and Ginger Sauce image

Based on a recipe from Ken Hom's Quick & Easy Chinese Cooking. Ken says, "Most of the work in this recipe may be done well in advance; the actual cooking takes but 5 minutes and the shellfish emerge from under the grill redolent of cilantro and tangy ginger, an ideal appetizer for guests." They can be cooked on the grill or in the broiler. They make an elegant cold buffet dish, or a quick and easy lunch. Quantities are easily scalable. I think these are great and very pretty!

CUMIN-LIME SHRIMP WITH GINGER



Cumin-Lime Shrimp With Ginger image

These quick, flavorful shrimp are versatile enough to work their way into an assortment of weeknight dinners. Fold into soft tortillas and top with sliced avocado for shrimp tacos, or serve over steamed rice studded with tomatoes, chiles and fresh herbs. They also work well served on top of a red or green cabbage salad. If cumin's not your thing, feel free to swap in another dried, warm spice, such as coriander or curry powder.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined (16 to 20 shrimp)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon grated garlic
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
Flaky salt (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp and the cumin until well coated. Season with kosher salt and toss again.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add half the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook undisturbed until they just start turning pink, about 1 minute. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more, then remove from the pan and set aside. They may not be fully cooked at this time, and that's O.K. Repeat with remaining shrimp and leave in the pan.
  • Add the reserved shrimp back to the pan with any juices that have accumulated. Stir in the ginger, garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring to make sure the garlic doesn't burn. Add the lime juice to pan and scrape up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture is reduced by about half, about 1 minute more. Stir in the lime zest and scatter with the cilantro. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH HONEY-GINGER BARBECUE SAUCE



Grilled Shrimp With Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce image

Of all the ways to prepare shrimp, the grill delivers the best flavor. Although unadorned "shrimp on the barbie" are great, an easily assembled gingery barbecue sauce makes them that much better. You can save time by buying already shelled and deveined shrimp, but our recipe developer, Alexis Touchet, who grew up in shrimp country in southwest Louisiana, thinks shell-on shrimp are better quality. Depending on where you live and what's in your market, you may not have much choice. Freshness trumps all, so don't hesitate to use your nose in deciding which shrimp to buy.

16 jumbo shrimp, unpeeled, preferably head-on
6 tablespoons fish sauce (such as nuoc nam or nam pla), divided
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, plus more for grill
2 teaspoons turmeric
30 cilantro sprigs, chopped
10 long red chiles (such as Holland or Anaheim), stemmed
8 garlic cloves
2 1" pieces ginger, peeled
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh prawns.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the prawns in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the prawns, or they will become tough.
  • The cilantro and ginger sauce is also delicious on other grilled seafood, such as fish or chicken.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Serve the grilled prawns with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

These grilled prawns with cilantro and ginger sauce are a quick and easy weeknight meal that is also elegant enough for a special occasion. The prawns are grilled to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
