STEAMED SHRIMP WITH LEMONGRASS-COCONUT SAUCE



Steamed Shrimp with Lemongrass-Coconut Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Coconut     Shrimp     Chill     Lemongrass

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lemongrass stalks
1 tablespoon nam pla (fish sauce)
2 limes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and, if you like, deveined
1 small dried chile
1/2 cup fresh or canned coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Pinch of saffron threads or 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric or curry powder
Salt

Steps:

  • Trim the ends from the lemongrass, then bruise one of the stalks all over with the back of a knife. Cut it in half and put the halves in the bottom of a saucepan with the nam pla. Squeeze the juice of one of the limes into the pot, then throw the lime halves in there. Top with the shrimp, cover tightly, and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and firm. Remove the shrimp and chill.
  • Remove the hard outer layers from the remaining lemongrass stalk and mince the tender core; you won't get much more than a teaspoon or two. Combine this with the chile, coconut milk, sugar, and saffron in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is a uniform yellow. Remove the chile and chill. Cut the remaining lime into wedges.
  • Taste the sauce and add a little salt if necessary. Serve the cold shrimp topped with the cold sauce and accompanied by lime wedges.
  • Coconut Milk
  • Although canned coconut milk is perfectly convenient, making coconut milk at home is easy and will contain no preservatives: Combine 2 cups of water and 2 cups dried unsweetened shredded or grated coconut in a blender. Use a towel to hold the lid on tightly and turn the switch on and off a few times quickly to get the mixture going. Then blend for about 30 seconds. Let rest for 10 minutes. Pour the milk through a strainer. This will be fairly thick. If you need more milk, just pour additional water through the coconut, up to another cup or two. Press the coconut to extract as much liquid as possible. Use immediately or freeze indefinitely.
  • Shrimp
  • Almost all shrimp are frozen before sale. So unless you're in a hurry, you might as well buy them frozen and defrost them yourself; this will guarantee you that they are defrosted just before you cook them, therefore retaining peak quality.
  • There are no universal standards for shrimp size; large and medium don't mean much. Therefore, it pays to learn to judge shrimp size by the number per pound, as retailers do. Shrimp labeled 16/20, for example, contain sixteen to twenty per pound; those labeled U-20 require fewer (under) twenty to make a pound. Shrimp from fifteen to about thirty per pound usually give the best combination of flavor, ease (peeling tiny shrimp is a nuisance), and value (really big shrimp usually cost more than $15 a pound).
  • On deveining: I don't. You can, if you like, but it's a thankless task, and there isn't one person in a hundred who could blind-taste the difference between shrimp that have and have not been deveined.

SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK SAUCE



Shrimp With Coconut Milk Sauce image

Easy, healthy, yummy seafood recipe. I grew up eating a lot of seafood cooked in a many different ways. Cooking them with coconut is a favorite savory treat. You can make this as spicy as you want by adding green peppers like anaheim or jalapeno peppers. You can omit the vegetables or add more that you like. The coconut milk and seasonings are strong enough flavor to carry this dish. If I am feeling lazy, I even skip the saute step.
