Fried Shrimp With Peanut Sauce Recipes

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl combine cornstarch, salt, pepper, and cayenne. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. In another bowl, place the coconut. Coat the shrimp with the cornstarch and shake off any excess. Dip into the egg white and then press into the coconut to get full coverage. Try to keep 1 hand dry, this will keep things a little cleaner.
• In a large pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees F and gently submerge the shrimp, 6 at a time. Fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them to a rack to drain. Serve with Peanut Sauce.
• In a food processor, puree the chicken stock, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, hot sauce, chopped garlic, and ginger. Add the peanut butter and pulse to combine. Fold in the cilantro and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
• Bring sauce to room temperature and serve with coconut shrimp.

FRIED SHRIMP IN ATOMICOCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, flour, pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the shrimp and let it chill out in the fridge for at most 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven. Fit a sheet pan with a rack.
• In a wide shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, garlic, paprika, cayenne and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Working in batches, use tongs to transfer the shrimp from the buttermilk mixture to the breading mixture. Make sure the shrimp is completely coated. Holding the shrimp by the tails, gently drop into the oil, one at a time. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch, allowing the oil to return to 350 degrees F between batches. Transfer the shrimp to the prepared sheet pan. Keep the shrimp warm in the oven.
• Serve with the AtomiCocktail Sauce and lemon wedges.
• Mix the ketchup, horseradish, pepper, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and fish sauce in a bowl. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

FRIED FISH IN PEANUT SAUCE (CAMEROON)

Steps:

• Heat the palm oil on a skillet and fry the fish with half the garlic, turning once. When the fish is cooked through, remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
• Mix the coriander with the ginger, nutmeg, salt, pepper and fish flakes (or ground dried shrimp if using).
• Now bring four cups of water to a boil. Add the fish head and the spice/dried fish mixture. Note: I used fish stock instead of water, because I didn't have the head.
• In another skillet, heat the peanut oil and fry the onion with the remaining garlic. When the onion is brown, reduce the heat and add the chili pepper. Now add the fish.
• Remove the fish head from the broth and add the peanut butter. Stir until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens.
• Add the sauce to the fish and onions and garnish with the remaining dried shrimp, if using (I just used fresh salad shrimp). Cook until heated through.
• Serve over boiled white rice with sese plantains.
