Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound medium (21/25 count) shrimp, shells and tails removed, deveined, halved lengthwise, then crosswise
2 tablespoons Ginger-Garlic Paste, recipe follows
2 teaspoons sambal oelek (Asian chile-garlic sauce)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Peanut oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 tablespoon Ginger-Garlic Paste, recipe follows
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
4 cups cold cooked white rice
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sambal oelek
3 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup fresh ginger, broken into broken pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the soy sauce, Ginger-Garlic Paste, sambal and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • For the egg crepes: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon water. Set a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and coat it lightly with peanut oil. Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl the pan so the egg coats the bottom. Cook over low heat until firm, then carefully turn with a spatula and finish cooking on the other side, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer the egg crepe to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining egg mixture. When the crepes are cool enough to handle, stack, roll and slice them into thin julienne strips. Set aside until ready to use.
  • For the fried rice: Set a large wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil. Add the marinated shrimp and stir fry until slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add the onions, celery and Ginger-Garlic Paste and stir fry until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the rice and stir fry until hot and a little crispy, about 2 minutes, breaking up the rice with a wooden spoon as you go. Fold in the peas, edamame, pineapple and bean sprouts and continue to stir fry until the vegetables heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the soy sauce and sambal. Fold in the cooked shrimp and the sliced egg crepe. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions.
  • Pulse the garlic and ginger in a food processor. With the processor running, stream in the canola oil and process to a paste. (You'll need 3 tablespoons of the paste for the above recipe. Refrigerate remaining paste for up to a week.)

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SPICY GREENS



Stir-Fried Shrimp With Spicy Greens image

Whenever I use a red-tinged vegetable like amaranth in a dish I know the vegetable is bringing with it lots of antioxidant-rich anthocyanins, a flavonoid found in dark red and blue pigments. Use beet greens if you can't find amaranth; they will bring with them the same red pigments, which make for a richly colored sauce. For a beautiful meal, serve the stir-fry with red rice, like Bhutanese rice.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce (more to taste)
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 jalapeño or serrano chiles, minced
3/4 to 1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
1 large red bell pepper, cut in 2-inch julienne
1 generous bunch amaranth (about 3/4 pound), stemmed and washed, or 1 generous bunch beet greens, stemmed, washed and roughly chopped (about 8 cups greens)
1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts only, cut in half lengthwise and cut in 1-inch lengths
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine the broth, 2 teaspoons of the soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the rice wine or sherry and sugar in a small bowl. Combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, and the minced chiles in another bowl. Have all of your ingredients within reach of your wok or pan.
  • In a medium bowl combine the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry, and 1 tablespoon of the ginger. Stir together well. Lightly salt the shrimp and toss with the cornstarch mixture until coated.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add in the oil by pouring it on the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Add the garlic, ginger and chiles and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the shrimp with any liquid in the bowl and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and opaque. Add the amaranth (or beet greens) and scallions, stir-fry for about 30 seconds, add the broth mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the greens have wilted. Add the cilantro and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and serve with rice or noodles, red rice being my first choice.

2 Tbsp asian chili sauce
1 Tbsp sugar
coarse salt
freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • To ensure your shrimp stays crispy, make sure to pat them dry before coating them in flour and cornstarch.
  • For a spicier kick, use cayenne pepper or chili powder in the coating mixture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the shrimp in the pan when frying. This will cause the shrimp to steam instead of fry and make them soggy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.

Conclusion:

Spicy fried shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. Be sure to experiment with different dipping sauces to find the one that you like best.
