Steps:

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH BLACK BEAN CAKES AND CORIANDER SAUCE
Steps:
- Black Bean Cakes
- Place the black beans in cold water to cover. Soak overnight, or for at least 1 hour. Drain, rinse, place in a large pot, and cover with fresh cold water. Bring to a boil, skim the foam, then simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. Add more water, if necessary, to keep the beans covered.
- Meanwhile, heat the 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion, peppers, and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the vegetables, along with the honey, vinegar, chili powder, and cumin, to the beans and continue to simmer. When the beans are quite soft and are starting to break down, season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the beans are creamy.
- Remove the bean mixture from the heat and strain, reserving the liquid. Puree in a food processor, then transfer to a baking sheet. Spread the puree evenly and let it cool completely. Form the puree into little cakes shaped like hockey pucks (use about 1/2 cup per cake). The consistency is perfect if it is moist enough to gather into a ball, but not so wet that the mixture sticks to your hands.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. To finish the cakes, lightly dust them with flour. Heat a medium skillet (lightly coated with oil) over medium-high heat. Sauté the cakes just long enough to get a nice crust on each side. When ready to serve, place them on baking sheets in the oven to warm through. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of cilantro.
- Grilled Shrimp
- Soak the skewers in hot water.
- In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil and seasonings. Toss the shrimp with this marinade and refrigerate while you make the coriander sauce.
- Turn on the broiler or light the grill.
- Place 4 shrimp on each skewer.
- Meanwhile, heat the black bean cakes.
- Broil or grill the shrimp 2-3 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Remove from the skewers, arrange on four plates, and drizzle with the warm coriander sauce. Serve with a black bean cake.
- Coriander Sauce
- Place the shallot, orange zest and juice, wine, vinegar, and coriander in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the liquid is reduced to 2 or 3 tablespoons. While it's still hot, whisk in softened butter by the spoonful until the sauce is emulsified (it will look thick and creamy). Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm over low heat.

Steps:
- In a cup, mix together the white wine and the ginger juice. Then, in a bowl, combine this with the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, cornstarch and white pepper. Stir in the shrimps and let stand for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Meanwhile, wash the beans three times and drain well. In a bowl, mash together the black beans and the garlic to make a paste. Reserve.
- Heat the wok over high heat for 30 seconds. Add the peanut oil and heat until a wisp of white smoke appears. Add the bean and garlic paste, breaking it up with a spatula and cooking until the garlic turns brown. Drain the shrimps, reserving the marinade, and place the shrimps in the wok, separating them into a single layer. Tip the wok from side to side to assure even cooking, then after about 10 or 15 seconds turn the shrimps over and stir together with the paste.
- As the shrimps cook, add the marinade to the wok and continue to stir-fry. There should be enough moisture to cook properly. If not, add a little water. When the shrimps turn pink and curl up, after about one minute, they are ready. Turn off the heat, remove the shrimps and beans from the wok and serve immediately with cooked rice. Garnish with sprigs of coriander.
