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.

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 jalapeƱo 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp: Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough. Devein the shrimp to remove the dark vein that runs along the back.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of cornstarch, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine helps to tenderize them and adds flavor.
  • Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for getting a good sear on the shrimp and vegetables. If your wok is not hot enough, the shrimp will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the shrimp in batches: If you overcrowd the wok, the shrimp will not cook evenly. Cook the shrimp in batches so that they have plenty of room to brown.
  • Use authentic Chinese ingredients: If you can find them, use authentic Chinese ingredients such as Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and chili paste. These ingredients will give your dish a more authentic flavor.

Conclusion:

Spicy stir-fried shrimp and peppers is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy shrimp dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
