Shrimp Summer Rolls With Curried Coconut Dipping Sauce Recipes

COCONUT SHRIMP SUMMER ROLLS

Steps:

• To Make Dipping Sauce:.
• In a bowl, combine apricot jelly, crushed pineapple, apple cider vinegar and red pepper flakes.
• To Make Coleslaw:.
• In a food processor, add water, olive oil, scallions, cilantro, garlic, salt and lime juice. Pulse until combined.
• Then add sour cream and pulse again.
• In a bowl, add chopped green and purple cabbage.
• Drizzle olive oil mixture over the cabbage and mix well.
• To Make Coconut Shrimp:.
• In a bowl, whisk beer, egg, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Dip peeled, headless shrimp in the batter.
• Then coat with coconut flakes.
• Fry the breaded shrimp in hot oil until the coconut flakes are golden bown.
• Place shrimp on a drying rack over a sheet tray to allow the excess oil to drip off. Let cool.
• Assembling the Roll:.
• On a sheet of moistened rice paper, place a scoop of coleslaw in the middle, edge of the paper (think of it as about 1/3 in from the edge). Then roll and fold until the top of the coleslaw is covered by the rice paper.
• After the shrimp cools down and excess oil drips off onto the rack, place two shrimp on the roll and continue to wrap until the shrimp is sealed well.
• Slice in half and serve with the dipping sauce.

SHRIMP SUMMER ROLLS WITH NUOC CHAM

Steps:

• Prepare the rice vermicelli according to the package directions. Drain well and set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water. Boil the shrimp until bright pink, opaque and just cooked, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice bath. Once cool, slice each shrimp in half lengthwise, pat dry and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the nuoc cham by whisking together the lime juice, 1/4 cup water, sugar, fish sauce, garlic and chile in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• To assemble the summer rolls, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a large skillet with cold water.
• Working one a time, soak a rice paper wrapper in the skillet until just pliable, 5 to 7 seconds. Transfer the wrapper to a clean cutting board. Line up 3 shrimp halves, pink-side down, in the bottom third of the wrapper. Layer with some scallions, carrots, cucumbers, mint, cilantro and basil. Top with a scant 1/4 cup vermicelli and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon of the peanuts. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it up like a burrito. Place it on the prepared baking sheet seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients, making sure the rolls are not touching on the baking sheet.
• Cover the finished summer rolls with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store any remaining vermicelli in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Serve the summer rolls with the nuoc cham on the side for dipping.
