TROPICAL PASSION SWEET & SOUR SHRIMP



Tropical Passion Sweet & Sour Shrimp image

This is perfect for a dinner party or for a romantic meal. I saw Bob Bowersox demonstrate his unique version of Sweet & Sour Shrimp on QVC and thought it looked so delicious. I copied down the recipe, altered it to suit my tastes, and here is my version. Please - only use fresh cut fruit in this - not canned or it will not taste the same. This is nothing like Chinese style sweet and sour shrimp, but rather Hawaiian inspired. It has a fresh fruity taste, with a sour tang from the vinegar. I have only made this with shrimp so far, but I see no reason why you could not subsitute chunks of chicken or pork in this, and just stir fry it first until cooked through.

Categories     Tropical Fruits

Time 38m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons canola oil, approximately
3 cups medium large frozen shrimp, peeled & deveined,thawed (enough for 4 servings)
2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled,and cut into large chunks (do not use canned!)
1 whole fresh papaya, peeled,halved and seeded,cut into large chunks
1 whole fresh mango, peeled,pit removed,and cut into chunks
1 1/3 cups orange juice, freshly squeezed (or you may use bottled, not from concentrate orange juice)
1/2 lime, juice of (approximately 2-3 tsp)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt, to taste (I used the full measured amount)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley or 4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped,as garnish
4 -6 cups cooked white jasmine rice, freshly cooked

Steps:

  • PREPARATION: Make sure your rice is already cooking (or cooked and set to warm in an electric rice cooker).
  • Prep all of your fruits, juices, and seasonings before you begin and have them handy near the stove as this will cook quickly.
  • Whisk together the vinegar with the cornstarch until smooth and set near stove- leave whisk nearby so you can quickly rewhisk if it settles before adding.
  • Also, make sure your shrimp is peeled,& deveined and ready to go by the stove (If using raw or precooked frozen shrimp,thaw by running under cold water in a mesh strainer,tossing them with your clean hands to keep them from sticking together, until thawed- drain well and set in a bowl near the stove.) COOKING: Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat- you only need enough oil to keep your ingredients from sticking.
  • Add shrimp and stir fry until shrimp turns pink and is opaque- no more than 5 minutes from raw, or just 1 minute for precooked shrimp.
  • Remove from pan using a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add orange juice, lime juice, sugar,pineapple, papaya, and mango to the pan and stir to coat.
  • Quickly rewhisk the cornstarch mixture and add to the pan- stirring constantly.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for about 1 minute, until sauce thickens slightly, stirring constantly.
  • Return shrimp to the pan and cook 1 minute or until heated through, stirring constantly.
  • Immediately remove from the heat.
  • Serve over hot cooked rice and garnish if desired with a sprinkling of fresh herbs.
  • TIP: To make pretty rice mounds, press the hot rice into a 1 cup measuring scoop or a small custard cup- place plate on top and flip over- when you remove the mold, a nice rounded dome of rice will be on the plate.

SWEET AND SOUR SHRIMP & VEGETABLES



Sweet and Sour Shrimp & Vegetables image

This is my version of sweet & sour shrimp. I've tried and tried to find the exact recipe I was looking for but never found it, so I just made my own! I hope you enjoy it :) I like to use fresh pineapple, but if you cant thats fine. The chunks are optional... I use them sometimes, and othertimes I just leave them out. Dont use a lot of pineapple chunks, because its too overwhelming! :)

1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup pineapple juice
4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/3 teaspoon cayenne (or more to your tastes)
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (about twenty or so 26-30 count shrimp)
1 1/2-2 tablespoons cornstarch
water
10 small pineapple chunks (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or in a wok, heat your oil to medium heat, and then add the carrot, tossing very frequently.
  • Allow the carrot to cook for about 4 minutes.
  • Then add your onion, and cook for another 4 minutes or so, and then add your garlic, cooking for another minute or so.
