Shrimp Lumpia With Chipotle Aioli Recipes

LUMPIA

Steps:

• In a food processor, chop the garlic as small as possible. Add the green onion and yellow onion and pulse to a similar size as the garlic. Add and pulse the shiitake mushroom caps and water chestnuts until all are a similar size. Add the shrimp and pulse until the shrimp are a coarse hamburger grind. Add the ground pork, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar and pepper and mix all thoroughly. Transfer to a bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat 1 inch frying oil to 350 to 360 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
• Carefully peel one wrapper off the stack. Orient the wrapper square to the edge of the counter, not diagonal. Scoop about a heaping tablespoon (approximately 1 ounce) of the filling and spread it about an inch from the edge closest to you and about 1/2 inch from each side. Brush all of the edges with the egg wash. Fold the edges in on the sides and begin rolling the bottom of the wrapper to the top, making a tight rope. Make sure when you finish rolling that the egg wash has sealed the roll. Place the lumpia seam-side down on a plate while you make the remaining lumpia. (This amount of filling should make approximately 30 rolls. (These could be made smaller for appetizers.)
• Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove to drain on a rack or paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chile sauce mixed with vinegar to taste.

CHIPOTLE AIOLI (SPICY)

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle peppers, garlic, and salt together in a bowl. Place in refrigerator until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

ROASTED SHRIMP COCKTAIL WITH AIOLI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolk, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup oil until completely incorporated. Whisk in horseradish, hot sauce and ketchup. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until shrimp are just opaque, about 10 minutes. Serve shrimp either hot or at room temperature, in shrimp cocktail glasses if you like, with the aioli for dipping.

SPICY CHIPOTLE GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Mix together the garlic, chipotle peppers, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, cilantro, kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Stir in the shrimp, and mix well to thoroughly coat. Marinate for 30 minutes in refrigerator.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and discard excess marinade. Thread about 5 shrimp per skewer, and grill on the preheated grill until the shrimp turn pink and opaque in the center, about 2 minutes per side.

POMMES FRITES WITH CHIPOTLE AIOLI

LUMPIA SHANGHAI

Steps:

• Mix pork, green onions, eggs and soy sauce in bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Lay out one lumpia wrapper on clean surface. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of mixture in a thin line against the edge of wrapper. Roll tightly, very long and thin, leaving the edges open. Seal opposite end with water.
• Deep fry at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Before serving, cut them in half. Serve with sweet sour or vinegar and garlic dipping sauce.
• Mix together all ingredients.

CHIPOTLE DRY-RUBBED SHRIMP "ON THE BAR-B"

Steps:

• Shell, clean, and devein shrimp. I leave the tails on for aesthetic reasons. Pat dry with a paper towel.
• In a medium-size bowl, mix oregano, thyme, lemon pepper, chipotle, salt, and black pepper. Toss shrimp thoroughly with mixed spices. Keep refrigerated until ready for cooking.
• Heat oil in a well-seasoned iron skillet or nonstick pan over high heat. Wait until oil is smoking hot, then place about 10 shrimp in it so that each has enough room to lie on its side. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until shrimp is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
• Serve hot, or at room temperature, with cilantro dipping sauce. For that special surreal touch, serve shrimp piled up on a barbie doll.
• Blend cilantro and lime juice in a food processor or blender until cilantro is liquefied. Pour into a small bowl and use a fork to blend in sour cream until fully blended into a pale green sauce. Refrigerate until ready for use.
