  • To make the ginger sesame dressing, combine all ingredients in a small jar with a sealed lid and shake well until combined. I also use this jar to store any extra dressing to use for the week.
  • To make the sauce for the shrimp, whisk together chili paste, 3 tablespoons of the ginger sesame dressing and lime juice. Add cooked shrimp and toss to combine; set aside.
  • For the salad, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, snap peas, cilantro and mint in a large bowl and toss with the extra ginger sesame dressing. Top with cooked shrimp and enjoy!
  • If making this salad for lunches, store the dressing in a sealed jar and drizzle over salad just before eating so salad stays fresh.

Garlic Shrimp With Wasabi Mayonnaise image

These shrimp are indeed garlicy, and the mayonnaise spicy--that's why we love them so much-- but be forewarned. The wasabi mayonnaise also makes a nice dip for crudites. Preparation time includes marinating time for the shrimp

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 -4 teaspoons wasabi paste, to taste
1 lb shrimp, cleaned and peeled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Stir together all the ingredients for the wasabi mayonnaise, beginning with 2 tsp wasabi paste, adding and tasting until you achieve your desired level of spiciness; place in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Stir together all the"FOR THE SHRIMP" ingredients, EXCEPT the shrimp.
  • When thoroughly combined, pour over the shrimp, and mix well making sure that each piece is well covered with the marinade.
  • Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate 15 minutes; do not go much beyond this time, or the lime juice will begin to"cook" the shrimp, making them tough.
  • Put the shrimp (marinade and all) in one layer in a large dry non-stick frypan over medium-high heat, season with pepper to your taste and saute just until pink.
  • I usually get them arranged in one layer, and by this time the first ones are beginning to color; I immediately begin to turn them over one by one and by then the first ones are ready to come out of the pan; by the time I've gotten to the last one they will all be cooked to my liking.
  • Remove to a serving dish and don't forget to bring the wasabi mayo out of the fridge.

GINGERY SHRIMP SALAD WITH CRISPIES



Gingery Shrimp Salad with Crispies image

Composing a great dinner salad is all about achieving the right balance of textures and flavors. Here, it's the juicy seared shrimp and crunchy tortilla strips that make this healthy entrée seem like a special occasion treat, even though it's quick and easy enough to make on a weeknight.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup hot-pepper jelly
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, plus more for frying
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 small (6-inch) flour tortillas, cut into 1-by-1/2-inch strips
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
3 cups store-bought coleslaw mix
1 cup frozen edamame, thawed and drained
1 cup mixed fresh herb leaves, such as mint and cilantro

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together jelly, ginger, vinegar, and 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Place 3 tablespoons dressing in another bowl; add shrimp and toss.
  • Heat 1/2 inch oil in a small, deep pot over medium until a single tortilla strip sizzles immediately when added. Fry half of tortilla strips, stirring occasionally, until crisp and light golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels; season with salt. Repeat with remaining strips.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until pink and lightly charred, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Toss romaine, coleslaw, edamame, and herbs with remaining dressing. Top with shrimp and tortilla strips; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: Use fresh, deveined, and peeled shrimp for the best results. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery, so cook them just until they are opaque and pink.
  • Make the wasabi mayonnaise ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Use high-quality pickled ginger: The pickled ginger should be crisp and have a slightly sweet and sour flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

This shrimp salad with wasabi and pickled ginger is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the wasabi mayonnaise and pickled ginger add a nice kick of flavor. This salad is also very easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this shrimp salad a try!
