Sesame Cilantro Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Add the water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic powder, sesame oil and red pepper flakes to a bowl. Whisk well to combine and set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter and let melt. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they just turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl.
• Increase the heat to high. Give the reserved sauce a good whisk and add to the skillet. Let simmer until thickened, about 3 - 4 minutes.
• Turn the heat down to medium. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let cook for 30 seconds. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. In a large bowl, toss cabbage with canola oil, lime juice, and sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Thread shrimp on 8 skewers. Place in a shallow dish; toss with 1/4 cup Asian Cilantro Sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Grill until opaque, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Serve the shrimp skewers with sesame cabbage, remaining 1/4 cup cilantro sauce, and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Toss the shrimp with the vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Dip one side of each shrimp in the toasted sesame seeds. Skewer with a toothpick. I actually threaded several on a metal skewer and dipped one side of that group of shrimp in the toasted sesame seeds at the same time. Much easier and you don't lose seeds while threading since you're doing that part last.
• When the oven is heated, place the skewered shrimp (sesame seeds on top) on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 6 to 10 minutes (depending on your oven), until the shrimp are firm to the touch.
• For the dipping sauce, put the remaining ingredients into bowl and mix until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with the warm shrimp.

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic powder and lemon-pepper; add shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes., Drain and discard marinade. In a skillet, saute shrimp in remaining sesame oil until shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Serve with rice if desired. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots, jalapeño and a large pinch of salt, and cook until starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
• Stir in coconut milk, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
• Stir in shrimp, lime zest, lime juice, sugar and fish sauce. Continue to simmer until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more lime juice, salt or fish sauce, or all three, if needed.
• Serve over rice, with remaining cilantro and lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and ginger in a bowl. Put half the shrimp, half the cilantro and all the scallions in a food processor and pulse; add just enough of the soy mixture to create a smooth paste, about 1 to 2 tablespoons. Transfer to a bowl. Roughly chop the remaining shrimp and cilantro, add them to the bowl and stir to combine.
• Place a dumpling skin on a work surface, moisten the edges with water, and put 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper up around the filling, squeezing gently, to pleat the sides; some of the filling should remain exposed. Repeat with the remaining dumpling skins and filling, keeping the dumpling wrappers and dumplings covered with damp towels while you work.
• Rig a steamer in a large pot over an inch of water; bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Meanwhile, add the lime juice to the remaining soy mixture to make a dipping sauce.
• Put as many dumplings in the steamer as you can fit in a single layer and cover the pot. Cook until the exposed filling turns pink and the wrappers are tender, 4 to 6 minutes, then transfer the dumplings to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining dumplings. Serve with the dipping sauce.
