Jons Spicy Citrus Shrimp Recipes

SPICY CITRUS SHRIMP WITH ROASTED KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Toss the kale with 3 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Add 1/3 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Roast the kale, tossing halfway through, until tender and lightly charred, 16 to about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, toss the shrimp and red onion with the harissa and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a medium bowl and scrape the onion and any accumulated juices into the bowl with the kale.
• Add the almonds, pomegranate seeds, endive, oranges and lemon juice to the kale mixture and toss; season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates and top with the shrimp.

CITRUS SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine the orange juice and zest, lime juice and zest, olive oil, garlic and salt. Be careful with the salt - the shrimp really suck it up! Cover, and puree until smooth.
• Place shrimp in a bowl, and pour the citrus marinade over them. Let them marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp about 3 minutes per side, in batches if necessary, until opaque. Spoon a little of the marinade in with them for extra flavor while they cook if you like.

CHEF JOHN'S SPICY SHRIMP CAKES

Steps:

• Place shrimp, garlic, cilantro, chili paste, brown sugar, salt, fish sauce, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off until mixture begins to break down. Scrape down the sides. Continue processing until mixture is very smooth but not pureed and moves around the bowl as a mass. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; press wrap against the surface of the shrimp paste. Refrigerate until mixture is chilled, 1 to 2 hours.
• Place panko crumbs on a plate. Scoop out equal size portions of shrimp and roll them around on the crumbs to coat. Shape into thin patties. Do this in batches.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook cakes in batches. Fry until golden brown and cakes spring back to the touch, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

STICKY CRISPY ORANGE SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the sauce: Put the orange juice, ginger, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, crushed red pepper, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and whisk thoroughly to incorporate the cornstarch into the liquid. If you have a few lumps remaining, that is fine. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the crispy shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Add the flour, salt and pepper to a shallow dish. Crack the eggs into a second shallow dish and beat well. Place the panko in a third dish. Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
• Fry the shrimp in 2 batches, flipping halfway through, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Before serving, add the sauce to the bottom of a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with the sliced scallions.

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Add shrimp, garlic, and pepper flakes all at once and stir together. Add seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper and mix until combined.
• Cook and stir until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

SPICY CALABRIAN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the Parmesan, olive oil, chile paste, lemon zest, oregano and salt. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat.
• Spread the shrimp evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. Squeeze the lemon half over the shrimp while still hot. Serve warm.
