Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, pat dried with a paper towel
1 Tbsp. olive oil or avocado oil
2 Tbsp. honey
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. freshly grated ginger
¼ tsp. red chili flakes
¼ tsp. kosher salt
2 Tbsp. butter for cooking shrimp
2 Tbsp. butter
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
¼ tsp. red chili flakes
1 (14 oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk (not lite)
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
Zest 1 lime
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, about 1/2 lime
Fresh chopped cilantro
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, honey, garlic, ginger, red chili flakes, and salt. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. When the butter is hot, add the shrimp with a pair of tongs. Leave the liquid from shrimp inside the bowl. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side or until pink on the outside. Remove immediately to a clean bowl. Shrimp will be raw on the inside. If you have leftover liquid in the pan from the shrimp, drain it before adding butter in the next step.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Add shallots, white parts of scallions, and chili flakes. Cook for a few minutes until soft and fragrant. Stir in coconut milk and fish sauce. Season with salt to taste. Simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in lime zest, juice, and shrimp. Simmer for few minutes until the shrimp is cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp. Add green parts of scallions and cilantro.

TAMARIND SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK



Tamarind Shrimp With Coconut Milk image

Raghavan Iyer has dedicated his life to helping people learn to cook Indian food. He dissects the four main culinary regions of the country into manageable bites, and develops recipes that are simple to make but have complex flavors. In this recipe for puli jingha, he marries shrimp and coconut milk spiked with sambhar masala, a spice blend common in southern Indian kitchens. Nearly every household has its own version, and you can make the one he grew up with quite easily. Serve this curry over lime-scented rice or yellow split peas.

Categories     curries, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons sambhar masala or garam masala
1 teaspoon coarse sea or kosher salt
1 teaspoon tamarind paste or concentrate
1 pound large shrimp (21 to 25 per pound), preferably live-caught in U.S., peeled and deveined but tails left on
2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
12 medium-size to large fresh curry leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • Combine masala, salt and tamarind paste in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss them with the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. Do not overmarinate, as the acidic tamarind will make the shrimp rubbery after 2 hours' contact.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp in a single layer. Reserve any excess marinade. Sear the shrimp for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
  • Pour coconut milk and any residual marinade over shrimp, add curry leaves and stir once or twice. Cook curry uncovered, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are salmon-orange and curled but still tender and the sauce is slightly thick, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large limes (about 10 ounces)
One 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger
2 large cloves garlic
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup canned coconut milk
Kosher salt
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
1 small scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic and add to the bowl along with the red pepper flakes, canola oil, coconut milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir to combine.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges. Reserve for serving.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels; don't worry if the coconut milk has hardened while it was in the refrigerator. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
  • Top with the sliced scallion and serve with the reserved lime wedges.

GINGER-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK



Ginger-Garlic Shrimp With Coconut Milk image

Fresh ingredients and bold condiments do the heavy lifting here, creating a fragrant 20-minute meal that will lure people into the kitchen, wondering what smells so good. Inspired by elements of Indian and Thai curries, the shrimp are coated in ginger, garlic and turmeric, then seared and braised in a combination of coconut milk and soy sauce. Spinach is stirred in for a bit of green, but you can substitute your favorite quick-cooking greens like bok choy or kale and adjust cooking time as needed. Swap the shrimp for scallops or white fish, if you like. Serve with rice, rice vermicelli noodles or naan to soak up the flavorful liquid.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 teaspoon minced or grated ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 packed cups baby spinach
1 lime, halved
1 fresno, jalapeño or serrano chile, thinly sliced
2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
1/2 packed cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
Steamed rice, vermicelli noodles or naan, for serving

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and the olive oil. Add the shrimp and mix to coat well.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the shrimp in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, stir to combine and turn the shrimp. Raise the heat to high and adjust it to maintain a simmer (avoid bringing to a boil), and cook until the liquid is slightly thickened and shrimp are almost cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach in batches until wilted.
  • Remove from the heat and squeeze in the juice from a lime half. Adjust seasoning with more lime and salt as needed. Top with the chiles, scallions and cilantro, and serve with rice, noodles or naan.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, succulent shrimp.
  • If you don't have coconut milk on hand, you can use heavy cream or milk instead.
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice to brighten up the flavors.
  • Serve the pasta with a side of grilled pineapple or mango for a tropical touch.
  • Garnish the pasta with chopped cilantro or green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
