Wasabi Shrimp Cocktail Recipes

WASABI SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• With sharp knife, cut along back curve of each shrimp, not cutting through to other side. Pat dry with paper towels.
• In small bowl, mix cream cheese, wasabi paste and 1 teaspoon of the chopped cilantro. Spread each shrimp open; fill with cream cheese mixture and sprinkle lightly with remaining cilantro. Place on serving plate. Serve with cocktail sauce.

WASABI COCKTAIL SAUCE

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.
