SPICY SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound medium shrimp
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 egg white
1 teaspoon chili paste with garlic (see note)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 cups peanut oil
4 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1/2 pound snow peas, strings removed

Steps:

  • Shell the shrimp, rinse them and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the coarse salt and add cold water to cover. Leave them for at least five minutes.
  • Mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon water until smooth. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork and mix in the cornstarch mixture.
  • Rinse the shrimp, drain them well and coat them with the egg white. Leave them to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the chili paste, sesame oil, sherry and stock in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a wok or deep fryer until it is just hot enough so that a shrimp will float when added to it. Add the remaining shrimp and cook for 15 seconds, just enough to turn them opaque. Stir with a fork or chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together. Be very careful not to overcook. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the shrimp on paper towels. (The oil can be reused twice only, with seafood.)
  • Pour off all but a tablespoon oil. Stir-fry the scallions, garlic and ginger for one minute. Add the snow peas and fry for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chili paste-sherry mixture and stir well. Add the shrimp, just long enough to heat through. Serve immediately.

SPICY WOK-CHARRED SNOW PEAS



Spicy Wok-Charred Snow Peas image

High-heat stir-fries are ideal for peas - either snow peas or the sugar snap variety. Assertive seasoning and the slight charring from the wok complement the peas' sweetness wonderfully. The method works well for other spring vegetables, too, like asparagus or baby bok choy clusters. Use a wide cast -iron pan if you don't have a wok. Take care to avoid overcooking; the peas should be a vibrant green color and firm to the bite.

Categories     main course, side dish

Time 15m

1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons crushed roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro

  • Add snow peas and scallions and season well with salt and pepper. Cook vegetables over high heat, stirring constantly, until cooked through and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Peas should be bright green and crisp-tender.

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND GINGER



Stir-Fried Shrimp With Snow Peas and Ginger image

In 2005, Julia Moskin wrote an excellent article about woks, the best sort for American kitchens (a 14-inch heavy-gauge carbon-steel wok with a flat bottom) and how to season it. This recipe, adapted from Grace Young's book, "The Breath of a Wok," ran alongside it. It is simple, fresh and fast. It cooks in under 5 minutes, so start your pot of rice as you clean the shrimp and chop the ginger, garlic and scallions.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons rice wine or dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
6 ounces snow peas, strings removed, washed and dried
1 scallion, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine 2 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon salt, stirring until salt is dissolved. Add shrimp, and let stand five minutes. Rinse shrimp under cold running water, and set to dry on paper towels. With more towels, pat shrimp dry.
  • In a bowl, combine broth, wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and pepper.
  • Heat a wok over high heat. To test heat flick a few drops of water into wok. When water vaporizes within 2 seconds, wok is hot. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil around sides of wok. Add shrimp, spreading them in a single layer, so they have contact with hot metal. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or just until pink, tossing them with a wok shovel or spatula. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add snow peas and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry 1 minute more.
  • Stir cornstarch mixture, swirl it in around sides of wok, and bring to a boil. Stir-fry just until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 30 seconds more. Stir in scallions, and serve immediately.
