LIME, CHILE AND CILANTRO MAYO



Lime, Chile and Cilantro Mayo image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     condiment

Time 10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups sunflower, groundnut (peanut) or light olive oil
1 red chile, seeded and shredded*
1 small bunch fresh cilantro leaves, very finely chopped

Steps:

  • Pour the egg yolks into a bowl and mix with the garlic, mustard, and some of the lime juice.
  • Adjust the seasonings with salt, and pepper and, using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat the ingredients and gradually start to add the oil, one drop at a time. Keep adding the oil until the mixture thickens, and emulsifies. If the mayonnaise looks like it might split or break, add a spoonful or so of warm water and stir it in. This usually "brings it back." If you find that your mayonnaise is too thick, add a little more warm water until you achieve the desired consistency.
  • Stir in the chile, including the seeds (adding a few seeds at a time, depending on the desired heat), the cilantro, and the rest of the lime juice, to taste.

SARASOTA'S SHRIMP BURGERS, AVOCADO AND A CHILI LIME MAYO



Sarasota's Shrimp Burgers, Avocado and a Chili Lime Mayo image

Easy good variation on the standard burger. Shrimp burgers topped with a spicy mayo, fresh avocado, thin onion slices, lettuce and tomato make this the ultimate burger. These can also be froze and grilled or sauteed later. I love these. We get great prices down here and I know Sam's and Costco also have great prices. Take advantage. Also salad shrimp at 3 dollars a bag this makes a great new burger for little money. I just think the chili sauce with the mayo is a big part of the dish, but I always have the chili sauce in my fridge. If you don't. Tarter sauce would be just fine. I also like to toast the buns and make sure you have lots of fresh tomatoes and lettuce like you would for any good burger. This was originally from a friend in Miami but she hates spice so I had to add some ... Enjoy!!

Time 40m

Yield 6 Burgers, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 lb shrimp (pre cooked and diced fine)
1 cup fresh breadcrumb (I like day old baguette or day old Italian bread, but anything will work)
4 tablespoons celery, chopped fine
1 shallot (small, grated)
2 scallions, chopped fine
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 pinch red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 jalapeno, diced don't want too spicy (small, just chopped very fine)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup oil, to pan fry the cakes in (vegetable)
1/4 plain breadcrumbs or 1/4 panko breadcrumbs
tomatoes, slices
lettuce
red onion, thin sliced
avocado, thin sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chili sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Now you can get boiled salad shrimp (the baby shrimp) or you can buy precooked any size you want. Just remember -- 1 lb. I have used large and chopped, small and not chopped and medium and chopped a little. So don't worry about the size. Besides, I love to buy it pre cooked for this, easier and quicker. This should be something quick so I try to take advantage of precooked shrimp when I can. Most stores do have some descent cooked shrimp these days. Even frozen precooked shrimp once thawed and drained well and dried will work just fine. Don't worry.
  • In a large bowl, -- Mix -- the chopped shrimp, scallions, pepper, lemon zest, shallot, celery, mayonnaise, seasoning, egg, parsley, and bread crumbs. Toss lightly. Don't over mix.
  • Patties -- Make the patties -- just form a medium size patty and then dredge lightly in the bread crumbs or panko. Pan saute on medium heat in a non stick skillet in the oil until golden brown. It will take 3-4 minutes per side is all until done.
  • TIP: I like to freeze the patties for a 15 minutes before sauteing. This just help firm them up a bit and helps with the frying.
  • Grill your burger buns -- prepare the toppings, the tomatoes, lettuce and onions and make your chili sauce. Just mix the mayo and chili sauce together for an amazing spread.
  • Serve dinner -- Serve each bun with a slather of the chili mayo, then lettuce, the burger, then tomato and avocado, onion, more lettuce, and top it with the bun also slathered again with the chili mayo. It is perfect.

GOLDEN FRIED SALMON SPRING ROLLS WITH LIME CHILI MAYO SAUCE



Golden Fried Salmon Spring Rolls With Lime Chili Mayo Sauce image

I received this recipe from my mother-in-law and they quickly became a guilty weekend pleasure. The sauce listed with it is incredible and compliments the spring rolls wonderfully. If you do like less heat, cut down the chili paste to 1 tablespoon or less. It says to cook them in a deep-fryer but we have cooked them very successfully in a pan with about 1-1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do! UPDATE: The pictures accompanying this recipe are when we baked them and didn't fry them. For this healthier option just bake them at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, flipping once.

Provided by cyaos

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs salmon fillets, boneless
8 -12 spring roll wrappers (or egg roll wrappers)
1/4 cup garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh gingerroot, minced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup mayonnaise (low fat is fine but no Miracle Whip)
2 tablespoons chili paste (Sambal Oelek or Sriracha sauce)
1/2 lime, juice of
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, chili paste and the lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside.
  • Divide the salmon evenly into 8-12 portions. Try and slice them in 1 x 1 x 4 pieces (about the size and shape of a candy bar). If you can't make them all the same size you can mix and match smaller pieces to make a portion.
  • Heat a deep-fryer filled with canola oil to approximately 350°F.
  • Make a paste with the flour and water.
  • Place your spring roll wrapper on an angle so that it is a diamond. Close to the bottom corner, place a portion of salmon, 1/2 tablespoon of garlic and ginger each and some cilantro.
  • Carefully start to roll from the bottom corner wrapping around the salmon. When you are about halfway up the wrapper, fold in the side corners tightly and finish the roll.
  • Smear a small amount of the flour paste at the top right corner and seal the roll shut.
  • When you are close to serving the spring rolls, submerge them in hot oil about 4 at a time and cook until golden brown, or about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve with the mayo in dipping cups.

Tips:

  • For a smoother mayonnaise, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can be used, but it may not be as flavorful.
  • If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can whisk the ingredients together by hand. However, this may take longer and may not result in as smooth a mayonnaise.
  • Taste the mayonnaise as you make it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to taste.
  • Once made, lime mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. However, it is best used within a few days for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Lime mayonnaise is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a tangy, citrusy flavor to sandwiches, wraps, salads, and more. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make your own lime mayonnaise at home. So next time you're looking for a new way to add flavor to your favorite foods, give lime mayonnaise a try!
