Crispy Shrimp Cups Recipes

GARLICKY SHRIMP IN CRISPY TORTILLA CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Warm each tortilla on both sides in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side. Spray the tortillas with cooking spray. Make a single tear from the edge to the center (like a bicycle spoke) in each tortilla. Nestle the tortillas into muffin cups, overlapping the torn edges so the tortillas fit into the cups.
• Bake until the edges are crisp and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Carefully lift out the tortilla cups and invert them so they are resting, bottom up, on the muffin pan. Continue to bake until the bottoms are crisp, about 8 minutes more.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions, bell peppers and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and add the shrimp and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
• Spoon the shrimp mixture into the tortilla cups and serve.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a non-stick mini muffin pan with oil or cooking spray.
• Take the shredded zucchini, wrap in a clean dish cloth and bring the edges up to meet. Twist the cloth at the top and squeeze over a sink to remove as much moisture as possible from the zucchini. Unwrap and tip into a large bowl.
• Add the eggs, salt, scallion, dill, parsley and cheese to the bowl. Stir well to mix. Add the breadcrumbs and stir again to combine.
• Divide the mixture among the 24 wells of the prepared mini muffin pan - you should be using about 1 tablespoon of the zucchini mixture for each well.
• Use a teaspoon to press the mixture into cup shapes in the muffin tin, as in the video.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until just starting to turn golden brown around the top edges.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before using a small spatula or butter knife to help you remove the cups to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the shrimp:.
• Place the raw shrimp in a large bowl. Add the cornstarch and salt and stir to coat well. Crack in an egg and stir again to coat.
• Half fill a deep frying pan with the canola oil. Heat to 375 degrees F.
• Carefully lower in a few shrimp at a time. Let them cook until light golden brown then flip and cook until the other side is light golden brown.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.
• Repeat with all the shrimp.
• In a large bowl mix the mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce and hot sauce. Tip the hot shrimp into the bowl and stir to coat.
• Assemble:.
• Place a shrimp in each baked zucchini cup. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.
• Notes:.
• To give the zucchini cups the best possible texture, use breadcrumbs (as the recipe is written) instead of flour as seen in the video.
• Tools:
• For the most success making the zucchini cups, use this non-stick Wilton 24 cup mini muffin tin: https://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Perfect-Results-Non-Stick-Cupcake/dp/B004EBS16G. If you do not have a non-stick muffin tin, be sure to grease and flour your pan.

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.
