SPICY SHRIMP SALAD WITH MINT



Spicy Shrimp Salad With Mint image

This light, summery Minimalist recipe for shrimp salad, from 1998, still carries a lot of heft. Lightly sweet shrimp is enhanced by cayenne, paprika, garlic and a bit of lemon juice. A bed of arugula and mint adds freshness to cut through the heat. If it's too hot out to turn on the broiler, try this recipe on the grill.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds shrimp in the 15-to-30-a-pound range, peeled (deveined, if you like)
1 teaspoon minced garlic, or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
30 to 40 mint leaves
6 cups arugula and other greens

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler; adjust the rack, moving it as close to the heat source as possible. Place a large ovenproof skillet or thick-bottomed roasting pan on the stove over low heat.
  • Combine the shrimp with garlic, salt, cayenne, paprika, half the olive oil and the 2 teaspoons of lemon juice; stir to blend. Turn heat under the skillet to high.
  • When skillet smokes, toss in shrimp. Shake the pan once or twice to distribute them evenly, then immediately place skillet in the broiler.
  • Mince about one-third of the mint, and set aside. Tear remaining leaves, and toss them with the arugula. Stir remaining olive oil and lemon juice together in a bowl.
  • The shrimp are done when opaque, usually 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate; it is fine if they cool for a moment. Add shrimp juices to olive oil-lemon juice mixture, and stir. Dress the greens with this mixture, and toss; if the greens seem dry, add a little more olive oil or lemon juice, or both. Place greens on a platter, and arrange shrimp on top or around them; garnish shrimp with the remaining minced mint.

PLA GOONG (SPICY THAI SHRIMP SALAD)



Pla Goong (Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad) image

This dish is somewhere between a shrimp salad and a ceviche - just-cooked shrimp dressed with a sour-savory-sweet mixture of lime, fish sauce, and sweet chile paste, then showered with herbs and chiles. In classic Thai fashion, it's combination of many tastes, each moment on your palate different from the next. It's a favorite of Pornpong Kanittanon, the Consul General of Thailand in New York, and the recipe is adapted from his wife, Jaisamarn.

Provided by Francis Lam

Categories     main course

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salt (optional)
3 ounces lime juice (from about 3 limes)
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons nam prik pao (Thai chile paste in oil)
2 finely chopped Thai bird chiles, or to taste
1 pound large shrimp (1 1/2 pounds if heads-on)
2/3 cup very thinly sliced lemongrass (see note)
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/2 cup whole mint leaves
6 makrut lime leaves, finely shredded
Jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of 3 quarts of water to a boil. (I like to salt the water like pasta water; Kanittanon does not add salt.)
  • In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, nam prik pao and chopped chiles. Taste, and adjust with any of the ingredients, including salt. The sauce's flavor should be led by sourness and savoriness, but with a good balance of sweetness and heat.
  • Cook the shrimp in the water until it just turns opaque, medium or medium-rare, about 1 minute. For better flavor, cook the shrimp with heads or shells on; peel when just cooled enough to handle.
  • Add the shrimp to the sauce while still warm and toss; the lime will continue to "cook" the shrimp like a ceviche. Add the lemongrass, shallot, cilantro, mint leaves and makrut lime leaves, reserving a little of each herb for garnish. Toss, and place on a dish; scatter the reserved herbs on top. Serve immediately with hot rice.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
  • If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or tamari.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the spicy Thai shrimp with the mint raita for a refreshing and flavorful meal.
  • For a vegetarian option, you can substitute tofu or tempeh for the shrimp.

Conclusion:

This spicy Thai shrimp with mint raita is a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, ginger, chili peppers, and fish sauce, and the mint raita provides a cooling and refreshing contrast. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual get-together with friends.
