Hurricane Shrimp Recipes

HURRICANE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine coconut milk, lime juice, garlic, chili flakes, cumin, coriander and pepper in a small bowl.
• Add shrimp and toss. Marinate for 1 hour or more under refrigeration.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Unroll the kataifi and separate a small bundle of strands about 1.5 inches wide. Using scissors, cut Kataifi strands to about 8 inches long.
• For each shrimp, spread a Kataifi bundle on your work surface and wrap it around each marinated shrimp, leaving the tail uncovered. Wrap freeform or tightly compress for a more compact look.
• His recipe calls for deep frying at 350F for 2 minutes each until brown and crispy, then draining on a paper towel.
• I prefer to bake at 400F for 8-10 minutes or until the Kataifi is crisp and golden. A little less for smaller shrimp.
• Serve with Recipe # 481797 as a dipping sauce.

BATTERED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pour the beer into a medium-size bowl and stir in the vodka. Slowly whisk in the flour and the paprika. The batter should be fairly thick, but also easy to stir. Set aside in a warm place. "Press" the garlic clove into another bowl and stir in the olive oil and shrimp. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside. Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot (or, alternatively, a deep-fryer). Heat the oil slowly to 370 F. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel or paper towels to drain the shrimp once they are cooked.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Arrange the basil leaves on a sheet pan. Put the pan in the oven for 2 minutes, just to wilt the basil a bit, if the basil is young and tender this step is not necessary. Wrap a basil leaf around the middle of each shrimp like a belt. When ready to serve, dip the shrimp into the batter and drop, in small batches, into the oil. Fry until crispy, turning on both sides with a slotted metal spoon. Add the lemons into the oil and fry until crispy. Drain them on the lined baking sheet and season immediately with salt. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

THE HURRICANE PORT-A-SHRIMP

Steps:

• Remove the woody stem from and wash the Portabella Mushroom.
• Sauté the mushroom cap in half of the garlic butter with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove.
• Sauté shrimp in the rest of the garlic butter until done, then add cooked mushroom to soak up garlic butter.
• Plate with the sautéed shrimp on top of mushroom. Squeeze fresh lime onto the shrimp and add parmesan cheese on top with toasted garlic bread and enjoy.
