Narial Jheenga Bombay Coconut Shrimps Food

ONE-PAN COCONUT SHRIMP NOODLE BOWLS

Steps:

• Heat the oils in a large straight-sided pan over medium-high. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper and sear on both sides until you get a nice sear, about 5 minutes total. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Back in the pan, add more oil if needed and toss in the garlic, ginger and bell pepper. Saute for one minute, then add the coconut milk, stock, noodles, fish sauce, sriracha sauce, cilantro and scallions. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let simmer until the noodles cook through, about 5 minutes.
• Take off the heat and add a few big squeezes of lime juice. Now taste that. UGH. Need anything? Add a little salt if you want. More lime juice? Yes.
• Stir the shrimp back in and toss to combine. Serve with more cilantro on top!

COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches oil over medium high heat. A cube of bread should brown in a 10 count when oil is ready.
• Season bread crumbs with salt, cayenne pepper and five-spice powder. Cut the lime into wedges and reserve.
• Toss coconut with seasoned bread crumbs to combine. Lightly beat the egg whites. Dip shrimp in the egg whites, then coat with the coconut breading. Fry shrimp 5 minutes in hot oil until evenly golden and crispy. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
• TIMING: To serve all of the courses together, a mix-n-match, family-style presentation, you can bread the shrimp and wait to heat oil and fry when you are ready to put the chicken stir-fry in the pan. Or, for separate courses, serve the shrimp with the salad, have your rice cooking and your ingredients prepped for the stir-fry, then stir-fry the chicken only when guests are ready for it.

NARIAL JHEENGA (BOMBAY COCONUT SHRIMPS)

Steps:

• Spread out the coconut flakes in a 10-inch microwave-proof pie plate or dish. Toast, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt microwave carousel oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly golden. Stir once during the cooking time. (The coconut will color unevenly.) Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Place the shrimps in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well to coat the shrimps. Lift the shrimps by their tails and dip them one at a time in the toasted coconut. Coat them evenly but lightly. Arrange the shrimps in the microwave-proof pie plate or dish, petal fashion, with the tails toward the center of the pan.
• Cook, covered, at 100 percent power in the microwave oven for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the shrimps are just done. They should be pink and firm. Remove and serve.

BHAGARI JHINGA (COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together tomato paste, salt, sugar, garam masala, ground cumin seed, ground red pepper, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lemon juice, and coconut milk. Set coconut sauce aside.
• Heat oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add the mustard seeds, and cook until they begin to pop. Immediately stir in garlic, and cook until garlic begins to brown.
• Add shrimp, and cook until shrimp is opaque; this should take only a minute or two. Pour the coconut sauce over the shrimp; cook until the sauce begins to simmer.
• In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water; stir into the sauce, and continue cooking until thick.
