Shrimp Skewers With Wasabi Mayo Recipes

GARLIC SHRIMP WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Stir together all the ingredients for the wasabi mayonnaise, beginning with 2 tsp wasabi paste, adding and tasting until you achieve your desired level of spiciness; place in the refrigerator until needed.
• Stir together all the"FOR THE SHRIMP" ingredients, EXCEPT the shrimp.
• When thoroughly combined, pour over the shrimp, and mix well making sure that each piece is well covered with the marinade.
• Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate 15 minutes; do not go much beyond this time, or the lime juice will begin to"cook" the shrimp, making them tough.
• Put the shrimp (marinade and all) in one layer in a large dry non-stick frypan over medium-high heat, season with pepper to your taste and saute just until pink.
• I usually get them arranged in one layer, and by this time the first ones are beginning to color; I immediately begin to turn them over one by one and by then the first ones are ready to come out of the pan; by the time I've gotten to the last one they will all be cooked to my liking.
• Remove to a serving dish and don't forget to bring the wasabi mayo out of the fridge.

ROCK SHRIMP BURGERS WITH WASABI MAYO

Steps:

• Heat your grill.
• For the Wasabi Mayo: Mix all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the Rock Shrimp Burgers: process half the shrimp with the egg. Coarsely chop the remaining shrimp and put it into a bowl. Add the processed shrimp and the parsley, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form them into patties. Grill them on medium heat until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. (You can also fry them in a skillet with a little oil.)
• To serve: place a burger onto a bun. Top with a slice of tomato and some Wasabi Mayo. Cover with the bun top and serve.
• For mini-burgers: Prepare the buns by cutting out smaller buns with a 1 1/2-inch diameter ring mold or biscuit cutter. Take a heaping tablespoon of the burger mixture and form it into a small patty. Continue with the remaining mixture until all the burgers are formed. Grill them over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place a shrimp burger onto a mini-bun. Top with a slice of cherry tomato and some Wasabi Mayo. Cover with the bun top and secure them with a toothpick.
