Madhurs Shrimp In Mustard Seed And Green Chile Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Gently rub the shrimp with 1/2 cup coarse salt. Wash shrimp under cold running water, and place in a colander. Drain well.
• Using a spice grinder, coarsely grind mustard seeds. Transfer ground seeds to a medium stainless-steel bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water, and combine. Add onion, chile, turmeric, remaining 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, cayenne pepper, and oil. Add shrimp, and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, and set seasoned shrimp aside for 10 minutes.
• Place the bowl of shrimp in a large stockpot. Add boiling water to stockpot until water comes 1/3 of the way up the sides of bowl. Cover, and place over medium heat. Cook until shrimp just turn opaque all the way through, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring once after 6 minutes.
• Divide the rice and shrimp among four plates, and serve.

Steps:

• Pick over rice, and place it in a large bowl. Wash rice with several changes of water. Drain.
• Pour 5 cups of fresh water over the rice, and let it soak for 30 minutes. Transfer to a sieve, and let drain for 20 minutes.
• Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until onion has lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice, green chile, garlic, Garam Masala, and salt. Stir gently until all the grains have been coated with oil, about 3 minutes. If the rice begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, reduce heat slightly.
• Pour in the stock, and bring the rice to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce heat to low. Cook 25 minutes more; serve.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Add shrimp and garlic; cook, tossing, until shrimp starts to turn pink on the outside but is still translucent on the inside, about 2 minutes (shrimp will finish cooking in step 3). Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium. In same skillet, melt remaining butter. Add shallot; cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour; cook 30 seconds, whisking constantly. Gradually add wine, broth, and mustard, whisking constantly. Simmer until it is as thick as heavy cream, about 5 minutes.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain sauce; discard solids. Return sauce and shrimp to skillet. Bring to a simmer, and cook until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper. If desired, serve over rice and garnish with thyme leaves.
