Yield 4 servings

1 small to medium onion
EVOO
4 tablespoons butter
3 large cloves garlic
Salt
1 teaspoon Calabrian chili paste OR 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup vodka
1 can (28 ounces) Italian crushed tomatoes
A few leaves of basil, torn, plus a few to serve
1 pound penne rigate pasta
1 pound large raw shrimp, deveined and tails removed
1 lemon
1/4 cup Pernod or white vermouth
A handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
A handful freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus some to pass at table, optional ( -- and controversial to some Italians)

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water on the stove for pasta. Also put up a deep skillet for sauce and a nonstick skillet for shrimp.
  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion.
  • In a large deep skillet, heat EVOO, a turn of the pan. Add 2 tablespoons butter and when it foams add the onions. Stir to soften while you peel and chop the garlic. Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic to onions and season with salt. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of chili paste or about 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Add vodka and reduce by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and tear in a few leaves of basil. Reduce heat and simmer sauce, 10 minutes.
  • Season pasta water with a fat tablespoon of salt, add penne and cook 1 minute less than package directions, about 8 minutes. Have a mug or measuring cup on hand.
  • Add shrimp to a medium bowl and toss with remaining garlic. Thinly slice a lemon and toss with shrimp.
  • In the second skillet, heat EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high and melt in 2 tablespoons butter. Add the shrimp mixture and toss 2 to 3 minutes; shrimp should be pink and opaque. Add a splash of Pernod or vermouth, the remaining red pepper flakes, a little salt and parsley; toss. Turn off heat.
  • Add cream to sauce and stir. Add shrimp to sauce, bring back to a bubble and turn off heat.
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup of starchy salty water and drain pasta or transfer to sauce with a spider. Toss pasta with sauce and grated cheese, using water to loosen as necessary.
  • Transfer pasta to large serving bowl or to individual shallow bowls to serve.

SHRIMP TEMPURA WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Shrimp Tempura With Dipping Sauce image

Cooks Illustrated May 2009. I'm including all three types of dipping sauce that were presented as options in the magazine.

Categories     Japanese

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 26

3 quarts vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (8 to 12 per pound)
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 large egg
1 cup vodka (see note)
1 cup seltzer water
kosher salt
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons mirin
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 teaspoon) or 1 garlic clove, pressed through garlic press (about 1 teaspoon)
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 scallion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lime, juice of
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce (Thai-style chili sauce, like sriracha)
1 tablespoon lime, juice of
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. In large, heavy Dutch oven fitted with clip-on candy thermometer, heat oil over high heat to 385 degrees, 18 to 22 minutes.
  • While oil heats, make 2 shallow cuts about ¼ inch deep and 1 inch apart on underside of each shrimp. Whisk flour and cornstarch together in large bowl. Whisk egg and vodka together in second large bowl. Whisk seltzer water into egg mixture.
  • When oil reaches 385 degrees, pour liquid mixture into bowl with flour mixture and whisk gently until just combined (it is OK if small lumps remain). Submerge half of shrimp in batter. Using tongs, remove shrimp from batter 1 at a time, allowing excess batter to drip off, and carefully place in oil (temperature should now be at 400 degrees). Fry, stirring with chopstick or wooden skewer to prevent sticking, until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Once paper towels absorb excess oil, place shrimp on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and place in oven.
  • Return oil to 400 degrees, about 4 minutes, and repeat with remaining shrimp. Serve immediately with Dipping Sauce.
  • NOTE: Do not omit the vodka; it is critical for a crisp coating. For safety, use a Dutch oven with a capacity of at least 7 quarts. Be sure to begin mixing the batter when the oil reaches 385 degrees (the final temperature should reach 400 degrees). It is important to maintain a high oil temperature throughout cooking. If you are unable to find colossal shrimp (8-12 per pound), jumbo (16-20) or extra-large (21-25) may be substituted. Fry smaller shrimp in three batches, reducing the cooking time to 1½ to 2 minutes per batch. See Straighten Out Your Shrimp below for tips on preventing the shrimp from curling.
  • DIPPING SAUCE: Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl.

SHRIMP TEMPURA WITH SOY SAKE DIPPING SAUCE



Shrimp Tempura with Soy Sake Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sake
1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (recommended: Srirachi Hot Chili Sauce)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup rice flour, plus 1 cup for dusting
1 cup cold seltzer water
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon sesame oil, optional
Vegetable oil, for frying
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Set aside to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Butterfly the shrimp by cutting down the back, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open the shrimp like a book and rinse well with cold water.
  • Make the Tempura batter: Put 1 cup of rice flour in a bowl and pour in the seltzer. Stir with a whisk to get out all the lumps. Add the egg yolk and blend it in well. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream. Flavor with sesame oil, if using.
  • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees F in a wok or deep fryer. Dry the shrimp well. Dust the shrimp in flour to soak up any remaining moisture, shake off excess. Dip the shrimp into the batter one by one. Drop 4 or 5 pieces at a time in the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes. To keep the oil clean between batches, skim off the small bits of batter that float in the oil. Remove the fried shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels; season them with salt. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best results.
  • Make sure the shrimp are peeled and deveined before cooking.
  • The tempura batter should be light and fluffy. Do not overmix it.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil to fry the shrimp.
  • Fry the shrimp in small batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the shrimp on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Shrimp tempura is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. The crispy shrimp are coated in a light and fluffy batter and served with a dipping sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
