Jumbo Shrimp With Sugar Cane Logs And Mango Sauce Recipes

KNOCKOUT COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spicy mango sauce: Combine the mango, chili paste, cilantro, salt and lime juice in a bowl. Set aside.
• For the coconut shrimp: Add about 4 inches canola oil to a medium Dutch oven or large high-sided skillet. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 325 degrees F.
• Set up a breading station using 2 shallow bowls or pie pans. In one bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut flakes, sugar and some salt and pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the cream of coconut, hot sauce, eggs and 3 tablespoons warm water.
• One at a time, dip the shrimp into the egg mixture, then dredge in the dry mixture, making sure the shrimp are thoroughly coated. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes, making sure to turn them occasionally. Remove to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Serve immediately or hold for up to 10 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees F.
• Serve the shrimp with the spicy mango sauce on the side.

SUGAR CANE SKEWERED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place chili pastes in bowl and add water. Mix the remaining ingredients together to make a thin mixture. Put shrimp in marinade and refrigerate overnight. Place shrimp on skewers, 4 pieces on each skewer, and grill.

VIETNAMESE GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP ON SUGARCANE STICKS

Steps:

• Using a food processor, puree garlic, sugar, shallots, fish sauce, lime juice and pepper. Add lemongrass and the 1/4 cup of oil; process to a puree. Place shrimp in a large shallow container with lid and pour marinade over shrimp to cover. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 1/2 hours.
• Light a grill.
• Cut each sugarcane stick in half on a sharp diagonal so each piece has a sharp point. Scrape off marinade. Make a slit near the shrimp's tail and one near the head with a sharp knife. Thread a sugarcane stick through the slits; the shrimp should lie flat.
• Grill the shrimp over a hot fire, brushing them once or twice with oil, until lightly charred and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Place shrimp on a serving platter and sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.
• Serve the shrimp with the Vietnamese Dipping Sauce.
