SPICY MINCED SHRIMP WITH RICE NOODLES



Spicy Minced Shrimp With Rice Noodles image

This is an easy dish to make, but the method is a bit unusual. First, you make what is essentially a flavorful sausage-like mixture of chopped shrimp (which could also be used as a won ton filling), then stir-fry the mixture over high heat until it crumbles, releasing its flavor into the pan. To make it a simple, satisfying meal, this stir-fry is tossed with cooked rice noodles. If you can find it, dried shrimp, available in most Asian or Latin American grocers, add depth: Keep an eye out for some from Louisiana, made with wild shrimp.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dry flat rice noodles (sometimes called rice stick noodles)
About 1 pound wild shrimp, in the shell, fresh, or frozen and thawed (about 24 pieces)
2 fresh red Fresno chiles or green Serrano chiles, seeds removed, if desired, finely chopped (or substitute 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes)
2 tablespoon dried shrimp, finely chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus 1 teaspoon for drizzling
2 tablespoons mirin or sherry (if using sherry add 1 teaspoon sugar)
1 teaspoon grated garlic (about 2 or 3 cloves)
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as necessary
3 tablespoons chopped scallions
3 tablespoons coconut or vegetable oil
Basil leaves, cilantro sprigs and 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak noodles in a large bowl of lukewarm water. Leave until softened but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water. Set aside. (Alternately, boil noodles for 2 or 3 minutes, then drain and rinse well with cold water.)
  • Meanwhile, peel shrimp and make the seasoned shrimp mixture: With a large knife, cut the shrimp crosswise into rough 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, chopped chiles, dried shrimp (if using), rice vinegar, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, mirin, garlic, ginger, salt and scallions. Mix well to distribute ingredients throughout. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or, preferably, up to 24 hours).
  • Put coconut oil in a large wok or wide cast-iron skillet over high heat. When oil looks wavy, add shrimp-sausage mixture, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it looks crumbly. Stir-fry until pieces are lightly browned, about 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Add noodles to pan and toss briefly, just to heat through. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Taste and add a little more salt if necessary. Transfer to bowls and garnish with basil leaves, cilantro sprigs, chopped peanuts and lime wedges, if using.

Provided by jaetea

Categories     Thai

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Thai peppers or 1/4 teaspoon sriracha sauce
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes, petit cut
2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (from 2 15oz cans)
1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and cleaned
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
8 lime wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet or Wok on med-hi heat.
  • Add onions and stir, cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add garlic and ginger, cook 2 minutes.
  • Add next 5 spices, cook 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes, cook 1 minute.
  • Add coconut milk, water, and salt, and bring to a simmer until thickened 5-10 minutes.
  • Add shrimp, simmer, stirring for 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in cilantro, lemon juice and zest.
  • Serve over rice noodles with lime wedges.
  • Rice Noodle Cooking Directions:.
  • Place all your rice noodles in a deep mixing bowl, trying to snap as few of them as possible as you remove them from the package (always a challenge for us). Bring a good amount of water to boil. Pour the boiling water over the rice noodles until they are completely submerged.
  • Every minute or two, give the noodles a stir to loosen them up. When they are completely limp, give them a taste to see if they're cooked through. The thread-like vermicelli noodles used in spring rolls will cook through in just a few minutes. The flat rice noodles might take upwards of ten minutes depending on thickness. Pay attention and test the noodles frequently because they'll become mushy if they overcook.
  • Once the noodles are tender, drain them and run them under cool water to stop the cooking. Toss them with a bit of sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking to each other if you're not going to use them right away.
  • Since these noodles will be used in the above dish, you definitely want to under-cook them a bit. They will absorb more moisture and cook the rest of the way through once in the stir fry. If your noodles are perfectly cooked to start, they will turn to mush in the stir fry.
  • Note: This whole recipe can be cut in half including the rice noodles.

COCONUT RICE WITH SHRIMP AND CORN



Coconut Rice With Shrimp and Corn image

This summery, one-pot dish has everything you need: fresh shrimp nestled in creamy coconut rice, with pops of summer corn and basil. Lime cuts through the richness and adds some bright tartness. To easily shave corn kernels off the cob, lay your cob flat on your cutting board. With a chef's knife, lob off one side. Rotate the cob so that the flat side is on the cutting board and repeat, running around all four sides. Frozen wild shrimp is an excellent weeknight staple, as it thaws and cooks quickly. You can always keep it on hand and thaw just as much as you need, which ensures optimal freshness.

Categories     dinner, seafood

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, fresh (from 2 cobs) or frozen
1 lime, zested, then sliced into wedges
1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy pot, heat coconut oil over medium. Add the onion, ginger and jalapeño and season with the 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the rice and sauté for another minute. Then stir in the coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer but avoid scorching.
  • Stir in the shrimp and corn, cover again, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is cooked through and the rice is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. (Add more water by 1/2 cups throughout cooking as needed if the water has been absorbed, but the rice is still too firm.)
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the lime zest and basil; season to taste with salt. Serve immediately with lime wedges and topped with more basil.

Tips:

  • Use a large wok or skillet: This will help to ensure that the shrimp cook evenly and do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Make sure the wok or skillet is very hot before adding the shrimp: This will help to create a nice sear on the shrimp and prevent them from sticking.
  • Do not overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you do, the shrimp will not cook evenly and may become steamed instead of fried.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and pink: Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and color to the dish. Some good choices include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables: You want them to retain their crunch.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: This will help to bring all of the ingredients together. Some good choices include a soy sauce-based sauce, a teriyaki sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.
  • Serve the shrimp and vegetables over rice: This will help to soak up the sauce and make a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This spicy wok shrimp with coconut rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce and served over coconut rice. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
