Tiger Shrimp With Lime Ginger And Mustard Seeds Food

TIGER SHRIMP WITH LIME, GINGER, AND MUSTARD SEEDS

Steps:

• Gently heat the oil in a large skillet and add the cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, turmeric, peppercorns and curry leaves (if using). Once they start to sizzle, stir through the scallions, chile and ginger and allow to soften for around a minute.
• Stir in the shrimp and watch how they turn to a golden pink color. Flip them over and sprinkle over a good pinch of salt. Once they are cooked through-and it won't take long, only a few minutes on each side-drizzle over the honey and sprinkle in half the cilantro and the lime juice. Mix well and serve sprinkled with the remaining cilantro.

GINGER-SOY-LIME MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place shallots, ginger, garlic, soy, lime juice, and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the green onion and oil and blend until combined. Season with black pepper, to taste. Place shrimp in a large bowl, pour the marinade over, and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high. Remove shrimp from the marinade and grill for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Serve on brown paper bags, if desired.

GINGER-LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• Divide the shrimp between two 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. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn the heat to high. When the foam subsides, invert a pie pan of shrimp over the skillet so they fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other pan of shrimp. Cook the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn off the heat. Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the ginger, lime juice and zest, mint, and basil to each pan, and shake to combine.
• Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

GINGER-SOY-LIME MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place shallots, ginger, garlic, soy, lime juice, and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Add the green onion and oil and blend until combined.
• Season with black pepper, to taste.
• Place shrimp in a large bowl, pour the marinade over, and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high.
• Remove shrimp from the marinade and grill for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
• Serve on brown paper bags, if desired.

CUMIN-LIME SHRIMP WITH GINGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp and the cumin until well coated. Season with kosher salt and toss again.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add half the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook undisturbed until they just start turning pink, about 1 minute. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more, then remove from the pan and set aside. They may not be fully cooked at this time, and that's O.K. Repeat with remaining shrimp and leave in the pan.
• Add the reserved shrimp back to the pan with any juices that have accumulated. Stir in the ginger, garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring to make sure the garlic doesn't burn. Add the lime juice to pan and scrape up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture is reduced by about half, about 1 minute more. Stir in the lime zest and scatter with the cilantro. Season with flaky salt, if desired.
