Coconut Flake Shrimp With Pumpkin Curry Dipping Sauce Recipes

PUMPKIN COCONUT CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put water on to boil for a water bath. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut cream, pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Divide the mixture among six 6-ounce Pyrex cups or custard cups and place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking pan to come half way up the sides of cups. Bake, uncovered, until the custards are just set, about 40 minutes.
• Remove the custards from the water bath and let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. To serve, top each custard with a dollop of whipped cream, if using.

DIPPING SAUCE FOR COCONUT SHRIMP

SPICY PUMPKIN-CURRY CRAZY SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and saute until just translucent. Add entire can of diced tomatoes (including juice). Add 2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce (more or less depending upon your desired level of spicy-heat and that of the hot-sauce) and reduce heat to medium-low. Add entire can of pureed pumpkin, 3 tablespoons powdered curry seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 cup vegetable broth. Cook uncovered 20 minutes or until a yogurt-like consistency is achieved. Add 1 teaspoon powdered cayenne pepper (more or less such that desired spice-heat level is obtained) and salt and pepper to taste. Finally add 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil and remove from heat. Allow to cool. Use an immersion blender to puree until tomato and onion pieces are thoroughly incorporated
• Use immediately or store in refrigerator in sealed air-tight container
• This sauce is great for grilled vegetables, fish, and white-meat (our favorite is to use it on grilled sliced eggplant). Apply liberally and right from the beginning on fast-grilling foods like fish or thinly sliced vegetables and meats, apply about 1/2 way through the cooking time for each side for longer grilling foods). A slight charring is okay and adds to the flavor!

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH RED CURRY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the red curry dipping sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the curry paste and stir frequently until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and whisk frequently until smooth and thickened slightly, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk in the peanut butter until incorporated and the sauce is smooth. Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and salt to taste. Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a serving vessel, wrap with plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
• For the coconut shrimp: Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the panko and sweetened coconut. In a second medium bowl, beat the eggs. In a third medium bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper to taste. Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, then the egg, then the panko mixture.
• Working in batches, fry the shrimp until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on the prepared sheet tray and immediately season with salt. Serve with the curry dipping sauce.

• Dredge shrimp in flour, then dip in beaten egg and finally dip in crumb mixture using your hands to press the coconut crumb mixture onto your shrimp. Transfer to a platter and repeat with remaining shrimp. Once all shrimp are breaded, either sauté right away or refrigerate for later.
• To sautee: place a large pan over medium heat and add enough oil to generously cover the bottom (1/4" deep). Once oil is hot (350˚F), add shrimp and sauté 2 minutes per side until golden brown and shrimp is pink and cooked through. Cook in batches and don't overcrowd the pan.

COCONUT FLAKE SHRIMP WITH PUMPKIN CURRY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the shrimp:
• Pour enough oil into a medium sized saucepan so that it is half full. Place the pot over medium to high heat until the oil reaches 340 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a medium sized mixing bowl, add the cornstarch. Stir in the beer, soda water, egg and a pinch of salt until combined. In a separate bowl, add coconut. Place shrimp, tail end first, on bamboo skewers. Dip each skewer into the cornstarch batter and then into the coconut. Fry the shrimp in the oil until the coconut is nicely browned and the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Place shrimp skewers onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
• For the dipping sauce:
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin puree, curry powder and brown sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Slowly add the coconut milk and continue to cook. Lower the heat and let the ingredients simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and cool. Add the lime juice and salt, to taste. Serve in a bowl alongside the coconut shrimp.
