Spiced Ginger Shrimp With Burst Tomatoes Recipes

SPICED GINGER SHRIMP WITH BURST TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine spice blend, ginger, garlic, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add shrimp and toss well. Heat a large skillet over high heat, then add the oil. Add the tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the whole tomatoes burst and the halved ones start to wrinkle, about 2 minutes.
• Add shrimp mixture and sauté for another 2 to 4 minutes, turning the shrimp, until they are pink all over.
• Gently stir in butter and cook for another minute, until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from heat and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Taste and add more salt and spices, if needed. Garnish with mint and scallion greens and serve immediately.

HONEY GINGER SHRIMP

SHRIMP AND TOMATO-GINGER CHUTNEY BITES

Steps:

• Thread a toothpick through the tail meat and the other end of the shrimp, forming each shrimp into the shape of the number 6. Fill a medium bowl with ice water.
• Bring a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half into the water. Add the shrimp, and cook until pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to the ice water to cool for a few minutes. Remove the toothpicks, and refrigerate the shrimp until ready to serve. (The cooked shrimp can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
• Meanwhile, swirl the butter, oil and coriander, cumin and fennel seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat until the spices are slightly darkened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, 3 tablespoons water, tomato paste, vinegar, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, cayenne pepper and curry powder, and bring to a simmer. Reduce to a low simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally and mashing the tomatoes slightly, until thick, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the chutney cool completely. (The chutney can be refrigerated up to 2 days.)
• Dry the shrimp, and arrange them on a serving platter. Put a little mound of chutney on top of each (not on the tail), and garnish with a cilantro leaf.
