Grilled Shrimp With Coconut Curry Dip And Peanuty Noodles Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP AND NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse with cold water.
• Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, chili sauce and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl. Transfer 1/4 cup of the marinade to another bowl and toss with the shrimp. Toss another 1/4 cup marinade with the asparagus and mushrooms in a third bowl. Let the shrimp and vegetables marinate 10 minutes at room temperature. Toss the noodles with the remaining marinade.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the shrimp, asparagus and mushrooms until the shrimp is just cooked through and the asparagus is slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Halve the mushrooms and cut the asparagus into pieces.
• Divide the noodles among bowls and top with the shrimp, asparagus, mushrooms, carrot and cilantro.

COCONUT-LIME MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic and add to the bowl along with the red pepper flakes, canola oil, coconut milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir to combine.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges. Reserve for serving.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels; don't worry if the coconut milk has hardened while it was in the refrigerator. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
• Top with the sliced scallion and serve with the reserved lime wedges.

CURRY NOODLES WITH SHRIMP AND COCONUT

Steps:

• Cook rice noodles according to package directions, then drain and rinse well with cool water. Set aside. Keep a pot of boiling water on stove for reheating noodles later.
• Toast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and allspice berries in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant, then grind in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle.
• Put coconut oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add lemongrass, garlic and ginger to softened onions and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Season with salt and pepper, then add ground coriander, cumin, fennel and allspice. Add turmeric, cayenne, lime zest and juice, fish sauce and coconut milk. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
• Season shrimp and cherry tomatoes with salt. Add to pan and cover until shrimp are cooked, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Dip noodles briefly in hot water to reheat, then drain and divide among bowls. Spoon shrimp, tomatoes and sauce over each serving. Sprinkle with scallions and garnish with cilantro, basil and mint leaves.

GRILLED CURRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine oil, salt, sugar, curry powder, and paprika. Add shrimp; toss until well coated. Place in refrigerator; let marinate 1 hour.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove shrimp from refrigerator; letting excess marinade drip into bowl, transfer shrimp to grill pan, working in batches, if necessary.
• Grill until shrimp are opaque and slightly browned on the outside, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter; serve hot with chutney.
