Curried Shrimp In Peanut Sauce Recipes

CURRIED SHRIMP IN PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
• While pasta cooks, place broth and next 5 ingredients (broth through ginger) in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions, curry, and garlic; saute 3 minutes. Add shrimp; cook 6 minutes or until shrimp are done. Stir in peanut sauce; cook for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Serve over pasta and sprinkle with cilantro.

THE BEST THAI CURRY-PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the aroma of the garlic has mellowed, about 1 minute. Add the red curry paste, and stir for 1 minute more. Whisk in the peanut butter, brown sugar, chili powder, cayenne pepper, fish sauce, sesame oil, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and is smooth.

INDIAN SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and ground chile (see Note) to the onion and stir over low heat. Pour the tomatoes and coconut milk into the skillet; season with salt.
• Cook the mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir the shrimp, fresh cilantro, and dried cilantro into the sauce mixture; cook another 1 minute before serving.

SHRIMP WITH PEANUTS

Steps:

• Shell the shrimp, rinse them and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with coarse salt and add cold water to cover. Leave for at least five minutes.
• Mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon water until smooth. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork and mix in the cornstarch mixture.
• Rinse the shrimp, drain well and coat with the egg white. Leave to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the black bean paste with chili, the soy sauce, sugar, sherry and sesame oil in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a wok or deep fryer until it is just hot enough so that a shrimp will float when added to it. Add the remaining shrimp and cook for 15 seconds - just enough to turn them opaque. Stir them with a fork or chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together. Be very careful not to overcook. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. (The oil can be reused twice, with seafood.)
• Pour off all but a tablespoon of oil. Add the peanuts and fry, stirring frequently until golden. Remove with slotted spoon. All these steps can be prepared in advance.
• Add the scallions and garlic to the oil and cook for one minute, stirring. Add the black bean-sherry mixture and stir well. Add the peanuts and the shrimp, just long enough to heat through. Serve immediately.
