COCONUT FLAKE SHRIMP WITH PUMPKIN CURRY DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- For the shrimp:
- Pour enough oil into a medium sized saucepan so that it is half full. Place the pot over medium to high heat until the oil reaches 340 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a medium sized mixing bowl, add the cornstarch. Stir in the beer, soda water, egg and a pinch of salt until combined. In a separate bowl, add coconut. Place shrimp, tail end first, on bamboo skewers. Dip each skewer into the cornstarch batter and then into the coconut. Fry the shrimp in the oil until the coconut is nicely browned and the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Place shrimp skewers onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- For the dipping sauce:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin puree, curry powder and brown sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Slowly add the coconut milk and continue to cook. Lower the heat and let the ingredients simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and cool. Add the lime juice and salt, to taste. Serve in a bowl alongside the coconut shrimp.
Tips:
- Fresh and succulent shrimp: Opt for wild-caught or sustainably farmed shrimp to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Choice of curry paste: If you prefer a milder curry, choose a yellow or green curry paste. For a spicier kick, opt for a red curry paste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the shrimp in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Coconut milk richness: Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamy and rich curry sauce.
- Fresh aromatic ingredients: Use freshly grated ginger, garlic, and lemongrass for the most vibrant flavors.
- Vegetables for added depth: Include vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini for added texture and nutritional value.
- Simmering for flavors: Simmer the curry for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes for a vibrant presentation.
