Sugarcane Skewered Shrimp With Chile Cilantro Rub Recipes

LIME-CILANTRO SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients until blended. Add shrimp; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes., If desired, add wood chips to grill according to manufacturer's directions. Drain shrimp, discarding marinade.

CRISPY CILANTRO-CHILE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine the cilantro, garlic, chile, 2 tablespoons oil, ginger, lime juice, turmeric, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Purée, using a wooden spoon or the blender wand to help combine ingredients if necessary. Scrape the puréed mixture into a bowl. Add the shrimp and use your hands or a spatula to evenly combine. Marinate for up to 1 hour in the refrigerator, if possible, or proceed immediately to Step 2.
• Dredge the shrimp: Pour the farina onto a lipped plate or into a large shallow bowl and season with two generous pinches of salt; toss to combine. Let the marinade cling to the shrimp, then dredge the shrimp in the farina, patting the farina onto each shrimp to adhere, and carefully shaking off any excess crumbs. Place the dredged shrimp on a parchment- or foil-lined sheet pan.
• Heat ¼ cup of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in 2 or 3 batches, depending on the size of your pan and the size of your shrimp, lay the shrimp in the pan in one layer and fry without disturbing until the shrimp are deeply golden brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes. Gently flip with tongs or a spatula and fry until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. (If any large shards of coating come off the shrimp, remove them from the oil, and serve with the shrimp.) Wipe the skillet clean of crumbs with a paper towel and add more oil to the pan as necessary to maintain the amount, and repeat the pan-frying process with the remaining shrimp. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

CHILE RUB

Steps:

• To prepare the chile rub use a small saute pan and toast the ancho chile, the whole cumin and the whole coriander seeds over medium heat on the stove. Next, grind the toasted spices in a spice grinder and place with the other ingredients in a small bowl. To season the steaks mix the oil and the clarified butter on a serving dish and dredge the steaks in the oil/butter. Allow the excess to drip off of the steaks and then coat each side of the steaks with the spice rub before cooking.
• For the Chipotle Chile Sauce: To prepare the sauce, heat a small sauce pot and saute the while onions and the thinly sliced garlic for 1 minute over high heat. Next, add the coriander and the cumin and toast these spices for 30 seconds. Then, add the remaining ingredients and allow to cook for 30 minutes over medium heat. The sauce will begin to thicken, using a blender or a small immersion blender puree the sauce until smooth. Serve this sauce with any cut of steak or poultry from the grill.
• For the Creamed Spinach: In a heavy bottom saucepot, reduce the heavy cream by half. When reduced, remove from heat and whisk in the cold butter until all is incorporated. Next add the Parmesan cheese and cooked chopped spinach, and place back on the stove over low to medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir well during that time. To finish, season with the salt and pepper.
