Game Day Fire Cracker Shrimp Recipes

FIRECRACKER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil to 375 F degrees in a large Dutch oven or deep fryer.
• Cut the eggroll wrappers in half diagonally.
• Score the shrimp along the bottom to straighten them. Dip them in the sweet chili sauce, and place them on a plate.
• Take a wrapper, place a shrimp in the middle, and sprinkle with peanuts and basil. Tightly roll the wrapper around the fillings, brushing a bit of water on the edges of the wrapper with your finger. This will ensure the wrapper won't open in the fryer.
• Place the rolled shrimps into hot oil and fry for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
• Garnish with more peanuts and basil and serve with additional sweet chili lime sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk together the chili-garlic sauce, chili oil, sriracha, vinegar, honey, cayenne, lime juice and a bit of salt and pepper together in a small bowl until mixed. This is your firecracker shrimp marinade and glaze.
• Add the shrimp to a large bowl and add half of firecracker shrimp marinade. Toss to evenly coat the shrimp. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes, though you can cook immediately if desired.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
• Brush on the remaining firecracker shrimp glaze. Reserve any leftover marinade/glaze for serving.
• Garnish and serve!

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add enough peanut oil to a countertop deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot so that there is 3-inches worth of oil. Preheat to 360 F.
• Combine the honey, sriracha, ginger, fish sauce, and lemon juice in a large, wide mixing bowl .
• Put the shrimp and potato starch into a gallon zip-close freezer bag and seal. Gently shake and turn the bag to thoroughly coat the shrimp in the potato starch.
• In two batches (most likely, depending on the size of your setup), fry the shrimp until they turn pink, and the starch coating becomes crisp and golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Remove the shrimp and shake off the excess oil.
• Toss the hot, fried shrimp in the sauce. Garnish with the sesame seeds, sliced scallions, chile pepper, cilantro, and a sprinkle of the Szechuan pepper, if using.
• Serve with rice and perhaps a steamed vegetable . Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel shrimp, leaving head and tail on. Place barbecue sauce in skillet and set on medium heat. Place shrimp in skillet and cook until they turn pink, approximately 2 minutes on 1 side, and 1 1/2 minutes on the other side. Remove shrimp from skillet and place on plate, pouring any extra sauce from the skillet on top of the shrimp. Drizzle a small amount of horseradish sauce on top of the shrimp and serve.
• Place onions in a food processor with the motor running and then add 1/2 cup of orange juice. In a large pot, melt butter on medium heat and add the onion puree. Add the 1 1/2 cups of orange juice and the rest of the ingredients. Stir and cook on low heat for approximately 25 minutes.
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Preheat oil for frying between 350 - 360 ° F. While oil is heating, in a large Ziploc bag, add flour, cornstarch, Old Bay, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Place shrimp in bag and toss until shrimp is completely covered in season flour, then remove shrimp and shake off excess season flour and place on a plate to give coating a chance to adhere to shrimp.
• Place shrimp in hot oil in small batches so that you keep your oil hot. Cook batches of shrimp for about 1 - 2 minutes or until golden brown. Place fried shrimp on a tray with paper towels to drain. Season with salt if desired (I'm pretty much "salt free" while cooking).
• To Serve, first place shrimp in a large bowl and add Thai Sweet Chili sauce to coat shrimp, then place on a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions and lemon or lime zest if you desire.
