This is from the program of Food Network stars, Pat and Gina Neeley. I have made it a few times, and it is "off the hook" as Guy says. This was done in Feb of 2010. If you make it, be sure to include the dipping sauce because it is excellent as well.

Bamboo Pipe Steamed Coconut Shrimp image

This easy recipe is packed full of flavor! My parents were in the Air Force, traveled through Asia for years and brought back tons of recipes. To this day, we still cook our shrimp with bamboo steamers because of the ease and richness of the flavor imparted.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds medium shrimp in shells
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 14-ounce cans unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons grated or torn lemongrass
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
Steamed white rice, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Soak two 8-inch-long, 4 1/2-inch-wide bamboo steamer pipes in water for 15 to 20 minutes before using to prevent them from burning over an open fire. (See Cook's Note.) If the walls of the bamboo steamer pipes are at least 1 inch thick or if you are using a gas grill, this step is optional.
  • Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Mix in the coconut milk, rice wine vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, cilantro, lemongrass and red chile flakes.
  • Prepare an open fire with grill grates or prepare a gas grill for 350 degrees F.
  • Fill the bamboo pipes with the shrimp mixture. Ensure the liquid fills the bamboo pipes at least three-quarters of the way up. Place the bamboo pipes directly on the grill grates over the open fire or directly on the grates of a gas grill at 350 degrees F. Remove the bamboo pipes when the shrimp are cooked through, after about 30 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Drain the liquid from the bamboo pipes and reserve for the guests to use for dipping or smothering. Serve the shrimp over your favorite side or steamed white rice.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup coconut milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons grated ginger
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
8 to 10 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
1 1/2 cups mango chutney, store-bought
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 limes, 1 zested and both juiced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch salt
Chopped cilantro leaves, as needed

Steps:

  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large and shallow dish, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, grated ginger and flour to form a thick batter. To a second shallow dish, add in the shredded coconut. Dip the prawns in the batter, then roll them thoroughly in the coconut shreds. Drop them, in batches, into the peanut oil and fry until their exteriors are golden brown and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer them from the fryer to a platter lined with paper towels and immediately season them with salt and black pepper. Transfer the prawns to a serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro and lime juice. Serve them with the dipping sauce.
  • Sauce:
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the mango chutney over low heat. Add the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Stir in the zest, lime juice, sugar, cayenne, ginger and salt. Continue cooking until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce has warmed through. Add some chopped cilantro and remove the saucepan from the heat. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and serve with the Ginger and Coconut Crusted Jumbo Shrimp.
