Stir Fried Sambal Shrimp Recipes

QUICK SHRIMP STIR FRY

Steps:

• Add your water, soy sauce, ginger, and sambal sauce together in a mixing bowl.
• Add your toasted sesame oil.
• Stir together until they are thoroughly mixed. Leave to the side, within easy reach for later.
• Using a sharp knife and a chopping board, slice your bell peppers into thin strips, which are easier to stir fry.
• Take your snow peas and trim them down to size.
• Season your shrimp to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Preheat your cast iron wok on the stovetop. This may take a few minutes. (You will know that it is hot enough when drops of water steam on the surface.)
• When the wok is preheated to a suitable temperature, add in the vegetable oil.
• Immediately after, spread your shrimp across the bottom of the wok and allow them to stir fry for no more than 2 min. Remove them from the wok, and set them aside for later.
• Throw in the bell peppers and snow peas (or your other vegetables of choice). If you're learning how to stir fry, be gentle and keep them cooking in the bottom for a maximum of 2 min, until they are soft but start to crisp.
• Take your partially cooked shrimp and place them back into the bottom of the wok with the vegetables and oil.
• At the same time, add in your premixed stir fry sauce to the wok. Make sure all your ingredients are coated and mixed together.
• Allow the shrimp, sauce, and vegetables to cook together for no more than 2 min.
• Remove the ingredients from the wok, drizzle with sesame seeds, and add the finished stir fry to your rice or noodles. Serve with your optional ingredients (rice, noodles, etc.)!

SPICY SAMBAL SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a large bowl of cold water until thawed, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in the microwave in 15-second intervals, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Mix in garlic and half the lemon juice.
• Melt 1 1/2 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp, garlic butter mixture, and sambal oelek. Cook and stir until garlic is cooked and shrimp are heated through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Bring water and sushi rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand, covered, until liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• Serve shrimp over rice, topped with remaining lemon juice and green onions.

STIR-FRIED SAMBAL SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. Rub shrimp with turmeric powder. Set aside. Process spice paste ingredients to a paste in a food processor. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the spice blend ingredients, 30 seconds. Add remaining oil and the spice paste. Cook, stirring, until the oil begins to seep out of the paste, 10 to 15 minutes. 3. Stir in tomato puree, tamarind juice, sugar and salt; cook, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the shrimp; cook, stirring until shrimp are cooked and coated with sauce, 4 minutes. Garnish with cilantro or lime leaves.
