Crispy Shrimp With Pepper Jelly And Herbs Recipes

ALMOST-FAMOUS SPICY FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, chili sauce, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl; set aside.
• Prepare the shrimp: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Whisk the flour, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in another shallow bowl.
• Working in batches, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, dip in the beaten eggs, then return to the flour mixture, turning to form a thick crust. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
• Toss the shrimp with the prepared sauce. Arrange the lettuce in a shallow serving bowl or on individual plates. Top with the shrimp and garnish with scallions.

STUFFED AND FRIED SHRIMP WITH PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp. Mix all other ingredients thoroughly and taste for seasoning. Divide into 12 and stuff the back of each shrimp. Close shrimp and let chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat frying oil in a deep figur or Dutch oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together rice flour, water, salt, and pepper. Dip each shrimp into batter, letting excess drip off. Lower into frying oil and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from oil, drain, and serve with pepper jelly sauce.
• HOT PEPPER JELLY SAUCE: Place wine, vinegar, hot sauce, and shallots in a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup, then whisk in jelly. Over low heat, whisk in butter 1 tablespoon at a time until sauce is creamy in consistency. Taste for seasoning, add salt and adjust to taste by adding a little vinegar, jelly or hot sauce. Keep warm.

GINGERY SHRIMP SALAD WITH CRISPIES

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together jelly, ginger, vinegar, and 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Place 3 tablespoons dressing in another bowl; add shrimp and toss.
• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a small, deep pot over medium until a single tortilla strip sizzles immediately when added. Fry half of tortilla strips, stirring occasionally, until crisp and light golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels; season with salt. Repeat with remaining strips.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until pink and lightly charred, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Toss romaine, coleslaw, edamame, and herbs with remaining dressing. Top with shrimp and tortilla strips; serve.
