Spicy Coconut Tiger Shrimp Recipes

SPICY COCONUT TIGER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Saute onion in oil until transparent and slightly golden.
• Add garlic and tomato and stir until the tomato and onion make a sauce (med-low heat).
• Add remaining ingredients and stir until shrimps turn pink and curl.

SPICY TOMATO-COCONUT BISQUE WITH SHRIMP AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Add the whole peeled tomatoes and their juices and the roasted red peppers to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the mushrooms and cook without stirring until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and lime leaves. (If using zest, don't add it yet.) Cook until garlic is softened and lime leaves fragrant, about 2 minutes. Move the mushroom mixture to a bowl. Season with salt and stir in a drizzle of oil. Add lime zest, if using, and scallions. Toss and set aside.
• Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the pot and heat over medium. Sauté the shallots until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, cook until it darkens and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, about 2 minutes. Stir in the puréed tomato mixture, coconut milk, chile and 1 cup water. Scrape the bottom of the pot with your spatula to remove any paste stuck to the bottom. Simmer, uncovered, to allow flavors to meld and sauce to reduce slightly, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.
• Add the shrimp (or pieces of fish) and cook until just opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Remove and discard the chile.
• Divide soup and shrimp (or fish) among bowls filled with steamed rice. Discard lime leaves, then combine the fresh herbs with the mushrooms and top stew with spoonfuls of the herby mix. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve.

SPICY COCONUT AND LIME GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine the jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, coconut, olive oil, and soy sauce in a food processor; blend until smooth. Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and allow to marinate at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Thread the shrimp onto skewers, piercing each shrimp near the head and tail.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

COCONUT-LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots, jalapeño and a large pinch of salt, and cook until starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
• Stir in coconut milk, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
• Stir in shrimp, lime zest, lime juice, sugar and fish sauce. Continue to simmer until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more lime juice, salt or fish sauce, or all three, if needed.
• Serve over rice, with remaining cilantro and lime wedges on the side.

TROPICAL RED CURRY SHRIMP WITH COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• shell the prawns and marinate in the fridge with coconut milk.
• Prepare rice just like you usually do, but substitute half the water with coconut milk.
• Heat up curry sauce ingredients except cilantro over low heat, stirring until all ingredients are consistent.
• Add washed cilantro, stems and all into the sauce for flavor.
• remove cilantro before serving.
• Slice all the fruit into bit sized pieces.
• Get a stainless steel saute pan very hot and add macadamia nut oil (olive or peanut oil would probably work fine too).
• Let oil get smoking hot.
• Add fruit and swirl it around occasionally to prevent from sticking.
• Allow fruit to caramelize (singe and turn brown on the edges, about 5 minutes) bringing out the sugars.
• Push fruit to the edge of the saute pan.
• Add shrimp and marinade in the center.
• Cook one side of shrimp to desired doneness (depends on the size of the shrimp).
• Mix up the fruit and shrimp in the pan, partially deglazing the pan using a wood spoon or spatula.
• Cook to desired doneness.
• Serve in wide bowls with a scoop of rice, followed by shrimp and fruit stir-fry, and then sauce over the top.
• Enjoy your meal with a Belikin beer and plan your next vacation to Belize that includes a stop at the Maya Beach Hotel.
