A La Truck Shrimp Recipes

HAWAIIAN SHRIMP TRUCK RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine flour, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a dish and toss the shrimp in the mixture to coat.
• Heat a large skillet over low heat.
• Add the butter, oil and garlic, allowing the garlic to cook for 3-5 minutes.
• Raise the heat to medium and add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then turn the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes on the other side.
• Add salt.
• Cook for another minute or two.
• Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the shrimp to zest up the flavor.
• Serve immediately with a side of white rice and a lemon wedge.

SHRIMP MEXICAN STYLE OR RANCHERO STYLE

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes until it starts looking transparent. Add the garlic and Serrano peppers and cook for 2 more minutes until the onion starts browning.
• Stir in the chopped tomato, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes. The tomatoes will release their juices and will soften.
• Add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp change to an opaque color. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

A LA TRUCK SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thoroughly combine the lime juice, sugar, fish sauce or oyster sauce and sambal or chili paste in a jar or small bowl sauce (increase the amount of sambal if you’re a heat freak).
• (Sambal is available in the condiment section of most Asian markets and in the specialty or gourmet section of some large supermarkets).
• Pour this sauce into a 10-inch non-stick pan.
• Turn the heat to medium high and bring to a boil.
• Add the shrimp and reduce heat to medium low.
• Cook until the shrimp is tender and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes (depending on size of shrimp) – if you like a thicker sauce, temporarily remove the cooked shrimp with a slotted spoon while the sauce continues to thicken, this will prevent the shrimp from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
• Add cilantro to the sauce.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings, pour over cooked rice or noodles.
