Spicy Orange Shrimp Recipes

HONEY ORANGE FIRECRACKER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Wash shrimp well and submerge in cold water in a bowl; set shrimp aside.
• Place cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large plastic bowl with a tight-fitting lid, close the lid, and shake several times to mix. Place half the wet shrimp into the container, cover, and shake to coat shrimp with cornstarch mixture. Remove shrimp to a platter and repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil is hot and shimmering but not smoking. Tap excess cornstarch from the shrimp and pan-fry in batches until shrimp are opaque inside and brown and crisp outside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain cooked shrimp on paper towels while you fry the remaining shrimp.
• Clean skillet and pour in honey; bring to a boil over medium heat and stir in orange zest, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Serve hot shrimp on a serving platter drizzled with honey sauce to taste.

SPICY ORANGE SHRIMP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Peel and devein shrimp. Pat dry.
• In a large bowl, whisk the ketchup with the orange juice. Add the lime and lemon juices, garlic, jalapeño, oregano, pepper, cumin, cinnamon and cloves and season generously with salt and hot sauce. Add the shrimp, red onion, tomato and chopped cilantro. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight; stir once or twice.
• Spoon the shrimp and sauce into martini glasses or onto small plates, garnish with endive spears and cilantro leaves and serve.

ORANGE AND HONEY GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the orange juice, zest, honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium.
• In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch. Whisk mixture into the saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes until thickened and bubbly.
• Keep sauce warm on medium-low heat while sautéing the shrimp.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or high-rimmed, large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
• Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add half of the shrimp to the pan. Cook until just opaque in center, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Transfer shrimp to a medium bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Ditch oil in the skillet and wipe with a paper towel.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Repeat cooking the remaining shrimp, about 2 minutes per side.
• Return the first batch of shrimp to the pan. Stir in the orange honey glaze.
• Remove pan from heat. Add green onions (reserve some for garnish), parsley and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve shrimp with cooked rice. Garnish with extra parsley, cilantro and sliced green onions. Enjoy!

SHRIMP WITH SPICY ORANGE FLAVOR

Steps:

• Combine oil and garlic in a skillet no larger than 10 inches across. Turn the heat to medium, and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle, then turn the heat to medium-low. When garlic is blond, stir in chiles, orange zest, and orange juice. Add shrimp, and raise the heat to high.
• Cook, stirring occasionally and sprinkling with salt, until the shrimp are all pink, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and add most of the cilantro and the lemon juice. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Serve garnished with the remaining cilantro.

HONEY ORANGE FIRECRACKER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Add the garlic, soy sauce, honey, orange zest, orange juice and crushed red pepper flakes to a small bowl and whisk until combined.
• Add the shrimp to the cornstarch and coat well.
• Heat your oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat.
• In batches, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until brown and crisp.
• Drain onto a plate (don't use paper towels or it'll steam on the paper towels).
• When you've finished frying the shrimp drain the oil.
• Add the sauce back to the pan and add the shrimp on top.
• Toss to combine and cook for 15-20 seconds or until the sauce has thickened (this will not take long, all the cornstarch on the shrimp will thicken it quickly).
• Serve immediately, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
