SHRIMP IN SPICY LIME SAUCE



Shrimp in Spicy Lime Sauce image

Few people I know have gone food hunting in Cambodia, so I was curious when Deb Winson, a New York-based food stylist, came back with an ecstatic report. ''Everything was so fresh and beautiful, and everything was so simple,'' she said. When I asked her to describe her favorite dish, she told me about a great preparation for shrimp cooked in lime. The ingredients were much as I expected: limes, sugar, salt, chiles and garlic, all common in Southeast Asian cooking. But the technique sounded unusual. The shrimp were not stir-fried, as you might expect, but instead were simmered in a very pungent sauce so that they took on strong flavor and still stayed juicy. This is my version.

Categories     easy, quick, seafood, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

About 1/2 cup lime juice (4 to 6 limes)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, more to taste
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola or grape seed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes, or to taste
1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp, or 3 pounds head-on shrimp, left unpeeled
Minced cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, sugar and salt. Place oil in a 10- or 12-inch skillet, and turn the heat to high. A minute later, add the garlic and chile flakes and cook the garlic until it just begins to brown. Immediately add the lime juice mixture all at once, and cook until it reduces by half, or even more, 3 to 5 minutes. There should be only about 1/4 cup of liquid in the skillet, and it should be syrupy.
  • Add the shrimp, and cook over high heat. The shrimp will give off liquid of their own and begin to turn pink almost immediately. After about 2 minutes, stir contents of pan. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until all the shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes total. Taste, adjust seasoning, garnish with cilantro and serve with rice.

STICKY CRISPY ORANGE SHRIMP



Sticky Crispy Orange Shrimp image

The inspiration for this recipe is a dish called orange chicken that the family loves from their favorite take-out restaurant in Tulsa. Here the chicken has been substituted with shrimp, a perfect vehicle for citrus flavors.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Splash of rice vinegar
Splash of sesame oil
Pinch kosher salt
1 clove garlic, grated
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp, butterflied and tails removed
Rice, for serving
2 scallions, sliced thin, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Put the orange juice, ginger, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, crushed red pepper, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and whisk thoroughly to incorporate the cornstarch into the liquid. If you have a few lumps remaining, that is fine. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the crispy shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the flour, salt and pepper to a shallow dish. Crack the eggs into a second shallow dish and beat well. Place the panko in a third dish. Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
  • Fry the shrimp in 2 batches, flipping halfway through, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Before serving, add the sauce to the bottom of a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with the sliced scallions.
