Crispy Benne Seed Shrimp With Sweet Mustard And Hot Chile Garlic Sauces Food

MADHUR'S SHRIMP IN MUSTARD SEED AND GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Gently rub the shrimp with 1/2 cup coarse salt. Wash shrimp under cold running water, and place in a colander. Drain well.
• Using a spice grinder, coarsely grind mustard seeds. Transfer ground seeds to a medium stainless-steel bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water, and combine. Add onion, chile, turmeric, remaining 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, cayenne pepper, and oil. Add shrimp, and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, and set seasoned shrimp aside for 10 minutes.
• Place the bowl of shrimp in a large stockpot. Add boiling water to stockpot until water comes 1/3 of the way up the sides of bowl. Cover, and place over medium heat. Cook until shrimp just turn opaque all the way through, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring once after 6 minutes.
• Divide the rice and shrimp among four plates, and serve.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SWEET-AND-SOUR SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan warm the peanut oil over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic; cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the marmalade, rice vinegar,Dijon mustard and fish sauce; stir until the marmalade has melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside at room temperature. (Can make the sauce ahead of time and warm up over medium heat before serving.).
• In a large bowl mix the oil, salt, chile powder, paprika, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and mix thoroughly to coat the shrimp evenly.
• With the lid closed, grill the shrimp over High heat (500° to 550°F) until they are just opaque in the center and firm to the touch, 5 to 7 minutes, turning once. Serve warm with as much sauce as you like drizzled over the top, serve extra sauce on the side.

CHILE-CRISP SHRIMP AND GREEN BEANS

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.
