Best 5 Grilled Shrimp And Scallions With Southeast Asian Dipping Sauces Recipes

ASIAN MARINATED GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place the butter, soy, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and sugar in a small saucepan and whisk to combine. Let it come to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, then take it off the heat, stir in the scallions, and let cool on the counter to room temp.
• Place the shrimp and marinade in a bag or bowl covered in plastic wrap and marinate for at least an hour in the fridge. Try to let them marinade for around 3-5 hours but no longer.
• Take the shrimp out of the marinade and place them on skewers. If using wooden skewers, let these soak for 30 minutes in water.
• Place the remaining marinade back in the small saucepan and bring it to a simmer, simmer for 1 minute and take it off the heat.
• Preheat the grill to high heat and oil the grates. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and get a nice char on all sides. Do not overcook or shrimp will become rubbery. This will only take about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on how big the shrimp are. Baste the shrimp with the marinade every few minutes.
• Serve with a garnish of more sliced scallions. Keep any remaining marinade on the side for dipping.

SWEET-AND-SPICY ASIAN DIPPING SAUCE WITH SESAME-SCALLION FLATBREAD AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Stir together the chili sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, the minced chile, 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Pour into a small serving bowl and top with the sliced chile. Set aside to let the flavors blend.
• Meanwhile, make the flatbread: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Cook, stirring, until toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve the skillet. Add the scallions and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil to the bowl and set aside. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle with the scallion mixture and salt and fold in half like a book. Press the halves together with your fingers and then roll the dough out again until it is 1/8-inch thick. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Stretch and roll each piece until very thin, pinching the edges together to keep the filling from spilling out. When the dough is thin enough, you should be able to see the filling through the dough. The pieces should be 7 to 8 inches in diameter, although they need not be perfectly round.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the canola oil over medium-high heat in the same skillet. When very hot, add a piece of the dough and cook, turning once, until it is puffed and cooked through and has some charred spots, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, adding more canola oil as needed to just lightly coat the bottom of the skillet and reducing the heat if the dough starts to burn before it cooks through. Cut the flatbreads into pieces and serve with the dip and cooked shrimp.

SOUTHEAST ASIAN-STYLE GRILLED SHRIMP WITH AROMATIC HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill with the coals placed off to one side. When the coals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
• Brush shrimp with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Place shrimp on grill near, but not directly over, the coals and cook, turning once, until shrimp are opaque, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and transfer to a large nonreactive bowl.
• Add ginger, garlic, chile, curry powder, lemongrass, Thai basil, mint, cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar to bowl with shrimp. Toss to combine. Serve immediately.
