Thai Marinated Shrimp Recipes

GRILLED THAI CHILE GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Put the shrimp into a glass bowl. Whisk the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and pour 1/2 to 2/3 if it over the shrimp. (Reserve the remaining marinade to brush on the shrimp during grilling.) Allow the shrimp to marinate for only 8 to 10 minutes or the lime juice will begin to "cook" the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side while brushing with the reserved marinade. I use a silicone brush. Remove the shrimp from the grill to a platter and serve garnished with lime wedges.

THAI GRILLED TOM YUM SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, chili, cilantro, fish sauce, oil, soy sauce, shrimp paste, lime juice, sugar, and onion in a mini-chopper or food processor and blend to create a smooth paste. (Or you can prepare by hand-simply mince the ingredients well and stir together.)
• Place shrimp and scallops, if using, in a large bowl and pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the marinade over the seafood. Mix, ensuring all the seafood is coated. Reserve any remaining marinade for the side sauce.
• Marinate the shrimp and scallops, if using, 10 to 12 minutes. If using wooden satay sticks, soak them in water in a shallow baking dish for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
• Prepare a medium (350°F to 375°F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Remove the seafood from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small bowl. Slide the shrimp and scallops onto the prepared skewers.
• Grill the skewers, turning once, about 4 minutes total, or until shrimp are pink and plump and have firmed up. Baste the shrimp the first time you turn them with a little of the reserved marinade.
• If making the side sauce, place reserved marinade from the food processor in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the paste for 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm through. Add the coconut milk , stirring to create a sauce. Taste-test the sauce, adding more sugar if too sour. If too spicy for your taste, add more coconut milk. If too salty, add more lime juice. Add more chili for a spicier sauce.
• Serve the shrimp hot off the grill garnished with cilantro and the warm coconut dipping sauce.

THAI MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• - Place the shrimp in a large, 1-gallon re-sealable food storage plastic bag. - Place the rest of the ingredients (coconut milk through salt) in a non-reactive medium bowl and whisk to combine. - Pour the marinade over the shrimp and seal in the bag. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even marinating. - Remove the shrimp from the bag and cook either on a grill or in a pan. Serve while hot.

TASTY THAI FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Process all the marinade ingredients together in a blender or food processor. Place the shrimp in a zip-loc bag, or in a bowl, and pour the marinade over and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hours.
• Drain the marinade from the shrimp, scraping off any bits, and discard the marinade. Dust the shrimp with flour, shaking off any excess.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat and add the oil. When it is very hot and slightly smoking, add a handful of shrimp and deep-fry for 3 minutes, until golden and crisp. If the oil gets too hot, reduce the heat slightly. Drain the shrimp well on paper towels and fry the remaining shrimp in batches. Serve immediately.

• Grill shrimp for 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Baste occasionally with the marinade.
