Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pineapple
1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound 16/20 shrimp, peeled and deveined
One 10-ounce tray microwaveable basmati or jasmine rice, prepared according to package
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 scallions, finely chopped
Zest of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, for spritzing

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Preheat the grill or the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare the pineapple and sauce. Slice the pineapple in half. Slice the core out of the center and discard. Cut out the flesh, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around. Finely chop two-thirds of the pineapple flesh and set aside in a bowl. Add the remaining pineapple flesh to a blender along with the BBQ sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then blend until smooth.
  • Prepare the shrimp. Add the shrimp to an aluminum foil pouch (or create a pouch with aluminum foil), then sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour the pineapple BBQ sauce over the top. Close the pouch and place over the direct heat of the grill, or on the bottom rack of the oven. Cook until a quick peek inside reveals opaque shrimp, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • For the rice: In the bowl with the reserved chopped pineapple, add the rice, cilantro, scallions, zest and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  • To serve: Divide and fill both halves of the pineapple with the rice. Remove the shrimp from the pouch and top both pineapple halves equally. Pour the juices from the pouch over everything. Top with the cilantro and serve with lime wedges for spritzing.

I have made these on slices of French bread as hors d'oeurves for parties. It works well, but tastes best warm so you have to keep popping more of them in the oven during the party. I have also made a healthier version, using fat free cheddar and low fat mayo. This is still good, but honestly not as good as the...

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 head Napa cabbage (leaves and spines removed, rolled and finely chopped)
1 cup Grated carrots
1/2 cup Edamame
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 piece Red bell pepper
1 bunch scallions
1 bag Snow peas, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal
6 pieces Mint leaves
12 pieces Romaine leaves
1 piece Lime Wedges
1/2 cup Peanuts chopped
1 pound Shrimp, deveined and shelled
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
3 pieces Bay leaves
1 piece Lemon

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a sauce pan of water to a boil. Add salt, red pepper flakes, bay leaves and lemon. Add ship and turn off the heat. Cook until done. Strain off water and cool. Cut shrimp into three pieces.
  • 2. Combine all ingredients except mint in a large bowl and toss to combine. At this point, the mix will hold for a couple of days in the fridge. For service, add fresh mint, a spritz of s & p, diced shrimp and just enough mango ginger dressing to moisten. Mound mix into Romaine boats and garnish with additional chopped cilantro, chopped peanuts and black sesame seeds. Provide lime wedges and small ramekins of dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Fresh, wild-caught shrimp are the best choice for this recipe. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. To clean the shrimp, remove the heads and tails. Then, devein the shrimp by making a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and removing the dark vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to flavor the shrimp and make them more tender.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade.

Conclusion:

Shrimp boats are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner.
