Shrimp Tempura With Lemon And Olive Mayonnaise Recipes

BUFFALO SHRIMP TEMPURA

Steps:

• Put a medium bowl in the freezer. Put a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and set near the stovetop where you will be frying.
• For the blue cheese dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, blue cheese, half-and-half, sour cream, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the butter-hot sauce: Combine the butter and hot sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir to combine and set aside.
• Meanwhile, for the shrimp tempura: Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Cut small 1/4-inch diagonal slits on the underside of a shrimp, then flatten to make it lie straight. Thread a skewer through the length of the shrimp. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Refrigerate to chill the shrimp for at least 10 minutes before frying.
• Fill a large heavy-bottom pot with 2 inches of oil, attach a deep- fry thermometer and heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• Right before you are ready to start frying, whisk together the seltzer and egg yolk in the cold medium bowl from the freezer. Add 1/4 cup ice. Add the flour and whisk gently 9 to 10 times then put the whisk down! You want the batter to be clumpy to help add extra crispiness to your shrimp (see Cook's Note).
• Dip batches of the shrimp into the batter while holding the end of the skewer. Coat completely, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Slowly lower the shrimp into the hot oil using tongs. Fry until puffed and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, transfer to the rack on the baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt while still hot. Be sure to bring the oil back up to 375 degrees F between batches.
• Serve with the blue cheese dressing, butter-hot sauce, carrot and celery sticks.

SHRIMP BATHED IN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, preferably not too deep, so you can watch the shrimp as they cook. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into a baking or serving dish, preferably a white one to show off the colors of the finished dish.
• Working in a few batches to prevent overcooking, boil the shrimp over high until just firm and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, removing them to a colander with a slotted spoon. When all the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to the olive oil-lemon bath and gently mix to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. The shrimp should be just covered with liquid; pour in more oil as needed. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, spooning some liquid over each serving.
