Kimchi Pancake With Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Dipping Sauce: Stir together all ingredients. Set aside.
• Pancake: Preheat oven to 200 degrees; set a wire rack over a baking sheet and have ready in the oven to keep cooked pancakes warm.
• In a bowl, toss shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and baking soda; let stand 10 minutes. Rinse in a colander, then pat dry, removing as much moisture as possible.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flours, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, combine egg, water, and kimchi liquid. Pour water mixture into dry ingredients; whisk until just combined. Add shrimp, kimchi, and scallions; gently fold with a spatula until incorporated.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high in a medium nonstick skillet. Add one-third of pancake batter (about 1 heaping cup) to the skillet; spread into a 1/2-inch-thick circle (about 8 inches in diameter) with ingredients evenly distributed. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, without disturbing, until edges are set and bottom is browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a large spatula, flip, then cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Flip again and cook until crisp, 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then to prepared rack in the oven to keep warm. Repeat twice more with remaining batter. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with dipping sauce, more kimchi, and chopped scallions.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the kimchi until it resembles a paste. Season the shrimp with kosher salt.
• In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, ginger and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add half the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook undisturbed until they just start turning pink about 1 minute. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more, then remove from the pan and set aside. They may not be fully cooked at this time, and that's O.K. Repeat with remaining shrimp and leave in the pan.
• Add the reserved shrimp back to the pan with any juices that have accumulated. Add the kimchi paste and stir together with the shrimp until everything is well coated and the shrimp is cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat, squeeze with lime and scatter cilantro on top. Make sure to spoon the residual pan sauce on top and season with flaky salt if desired.
