CHILE-CRISP SHRIMP AND GREEN BEANS



Chile-Crisp Shrimp and Green Beans image

This stir-fry is inspired by the taste and textures of chile crisp, that fiery condiment made by infusing oil with dried chiles, garlic and shallots. For this 20-minute recipe, make a quick version of the oil while the shrimp marinates in a combination of soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Use the infused oil to cook the green beans (or asparagus), shrimp and peanuts, then serve topped with the fried shallots and garlic. It's a deeply savory, spicy and satisfying dinner.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weeknight, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 large shallot, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced through the root
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 cinnamon stick
10 ounces green beans or asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Set aside while you fry the shallots and garlic.
  • Place a fine-mesh sieve over a heat-proof bowl next to the stove. In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil, shallot, garlic and cinnamon stick over medium-high. When the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the shallots, until golden brown, 5 to 9 minutes. (Lower the heat if the shallots are browning too quickly.) Drain through the sieve, catching the oil in the bowl below. Discard the cinnamon, season the fried shallots and garlic with salt, and set aside.
  • Return the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the green beans, season with salt and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Push the green beans to one side, then add the shrimp and the marinade, along with the peanuts (if using), and cook until the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stir the green beans and shrimp to combine, then sprinkle with the fried shallots and garlic. Serve immediately, over rice or noodles, or in lettuce cups, if desired.

SPICY SHRIMP STIR-FRY



Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry image

Shrimp,stir-fried with pepper,garlic,andscallions, makes a speedy, spicy main dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left intact
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
4 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced diagonally (about 1/4 cup), plus dark-green parts, thinly sliced lengthwise, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok or a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Add shrimp; cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp are opaque, about 5 minutes. Add pepper, salt, and sugar; cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in scallions. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with more scallions, and serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Add Aromatics: Aromatics like garlic, ginger, and shallots add a lot of flavor to the dish. Be sure to sauté them in oil until they are fragrant before adding the other ingredients.
  • Use a Wok: A wok is the best pan for stir-frying because it allows you to cook the food quickly and evenly. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead.
  • Stir-Fry in Batches: If you are cooking a large amount of food, stir-fry it in batches. This will prevent the food from becoming crowded in the pan and will help it cook evenly.
  • Season to Taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or soy sauce.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried shrimp with spicy greens is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful sauce and the greens add a bit of heat and spice. This dish is also very versatile, so you can add other vegetables or proteins to it, such as chicken, tofu, or broccoli.
