SPICY COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY MANGO BASIL SALSA AND LIME JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• For the salsa: Combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Make up to a day in advance. Keep covered in the refrigerator.
• For the shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine jalapenos, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest, coconut milk, basil, vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours, refridgerated.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Use tongs or a fork to remove the shrimp from the marinade and place in an even layer in the pan, reserving the marinade.
• Cook the shrimp until well browned on each side, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer cooked shrimp to a serving plate.
• Add reserved marinade to pan, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Pour over the cooked shrimp and serve with Lime Jasmine Rice and Mango Salsa.
• Put the rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and gently simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in the lime zest. Serve immediately.

SHRIMP WITH BASIL-MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine the mango, basil and lemon juice; cover and process until blended. Pour onto two serving plates; set aside., Skewer two shrimp each onto six 4- to 6-in. metal or soaked wooden skewers, forming a heart shape. Cook in a large skillet in butter over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once. Place over mango sauce. Garnish with basil springs if desired.

SPICY THAI BASIL GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SOUR MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, cut through the back shell of each shrimp. Remove the dark vein by running your forefinger between the shell and the flesh of each shrimp, keeping the shell intact. Reserve shrimp in a re-sealable gallon plastic bag.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved, then add the fish sauce. Add the garlic, chile, Thai basil, and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir well and pour over the reserved shrimp in the plastic bag. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air. Massage the bag to make sure that all of the shrimp are covered and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat. Oil the grill pan with remaining oil. Grill the shrimp, turning once to prevent burning, until evenly pink and golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve shrimp on large plate over Sour Mango Salad.
• Mix the mangos, carrots, and chiles in a large bowl.
• For the dressing: in a medium bowl, whisk together the lime, fish sauce, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the dressing to the bowl and toss together. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain and serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.

SHRIMP WITH BASIL, GARLIC, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
• Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

SHRIMP WITH MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tsp oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion, garlic, ginger, 1/4 tsp salt, allspice, cumin and cinnamon about 3 minutes. Add mango, vinegar, lime juice and sugar and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick; refrigerate in a bowl. Toss shrimp with red pepper, garlic powder and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Heat remaining 2 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp until no longer translucent, about 2 minutes on each side. Let cool; serve with sauce.
