Shrimp Sates With Spiced Pistachio Chutney Recipe Epicuriouscom

Steps:

• For the chutney: Mix water, cider vinegar, peach juice concentrate, ground cloves, garlic, ginger, salt to taste,sugar, jalapeno peppers and onion in a large saucepan. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. It will be liquid. Add cherries and peaches and simmer 15 minutes more to plump up the cherries and cook the peaches. Mix cold water and cornstarch and stir into chutney. Cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. You may want to add more cornstarch water if you prefer a thicker product.
• For the grit cakes: Boil water and add salt. Slowly stir in grits. Cook until thick. Remove from heat and add butter, cheese, cayenne and beaten egg. Set aside to cool slightly, then refrigerate. When the mixture is cold, form into patties about 4-inches across and 1inch thick. Place flour on a wide plate, eggs in another plate and crumbs in another plate. Dip patties first into flour, then into eggs, then cover with bread crumbs. Chill 30 minutes or up to overnight. Heat butter or olive oil in a saucepan and saute grit cakes until golden brown on both sides.
• For the shrimp: Saute peppers in olive oil until tender and set aside. Add shrimp and saute just until cooked through.
• Place a ladle of warmed chutney on a plate. Place grit cake in the middle. Arrange the shrimp around and sprinkle with peppers and cilantro.

Steps:

• Marinate shrimp:
• Butterfly shrimp by cutting almost, but not all the way, through backs. Toss with garlic, oil, and lime juice. Season with salt. Marinate, chilled, 1 hour.
• Make chutney:
• Drain yogurt in a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, chilled, 1 hour. Cook coriander and cumin in oil in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Coarsely chop chiles, then purée in a blender with drained yogurt, coriander mixture, and cilantro until smooth. Stir in lime juice, pistachios, and salt to taste.
• Make satés:
• Preheat broiler.
• Gently press 1 shrimp open and thread lengthwise onto a skewer near pointed end. Repeat with remaining shrimp and skewers.
• Arrange satés in a row on 1 long side of a broiler pan so that blunt ends of skewers point toward middle of pan. Cover exposed portions of skewers with a sheet of foil (don't cover shrimp). Arrange another row of satés over foil. Continue adding rows of satés and layers of foil until pan is full, making sure exposed skewer ends of last row of satés are covered with foil.
• Broil until shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Serve satés with chutney for dipping.

Steps:

• Start a grill or preheat the broiler or oven. Make the fire as hot as it will get and put the rack close to the heat source.
• Mince the garlic with the salt; mix with the cayenne and paprika, then make into a paste with olive oil and lemon juice. Smear the paste on the shrimp. Grill, broil, or roast the shrimp, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning them once. Serve immediately or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
• Variation
• You can take this dish in a completely different direction by substituting curry powder for the paprika, peanut oil for the olive oil, and lime juice for the lemon juice.
• Shrimp
• Almost all shrimp are frozen before sale. So unless you're in a hurry, you might as well buy them frozen and defrost them yourself; this will guarantee you that they are defrosted just before you cook them, therefore retaining peak quality.
• There are no universal standards for shrimp size; large and medium don't mean much. Therefore, it pays to learn to judge shrimp size by the number per pound, as retailers do. Shrimp labeled 16/20, for example, contain sixteen to twenty per pound; those labeled U-20 require fewer (under) twenty to make a pound. Shrimp from fifteen to about thirty per pound usually give the best combination of flavor, ease (peeling tiny shrimp is a nuisance), and value (really big shrimp usually cost more than $15 a pound).
• On deveining: I don't. You can, if you like, but it's a thankless task, and there isn't one person in a hundred who could blind-taste the difference between shrimp that have and have not been deveined.

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together all ingredients except shrimp and oil. Arrange shrimp in one layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with half of spice mixture. Turn shrimp over and sprinkle with remaining mixture.
• In a heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté half of shrimp until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Sauté remaining shrimp in remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same manner.
• Serve shrimp with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Make chutney:
• Heat butter in a 10-inch skillet over moderately high heat, then sauté ginger, shallot, and garlic, stirring, 1 minute. Add remaining chutney ingredients and cook over moderate heat, stirring, 4 minutes.
• Make shrimp rolls:
• Stir together nuts and curry powder.
• Cover stack of phyllo with 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap, then a damp kitchen towel.
• Remove 1 phyllo sheet, place on a work surface and brush well with butter. Sprinkle with one sixth spice mixture.
• Stack 2 more phyllo sheets on top, buttering each and sprinkling each with spice mixture.
• Cut spiced phyllo stack lengthwise into 5 strips, then cut each crosswise in thirds to make 15 (5 1/2- by 2 1/4-inch) rectangles.
• Place 1 shrimp lengthwise on short end of 1 strip and roll up, leaving head and tail exposed; then roll up 14 more shrimp. Arrange, seams down, 1/2-inch apart, on a buttered baking sheet.
• Make 15 more hors d'oeuvres with remaining (unused) phyllo sheets, butter, spice mixture, and shrimp and arrange on baking sheet.
• Brush tops of rolls with some of remaining butter and bake in middle of oven until phyllo is golden and shrimp are cooked, about 12 minutes.
• Serve shrimp rolls with chutney.

Steps:

• Marinate shrimp:
• Purée all ingredients for marinating shrimp, except shrimp, with 1/2 tsp salt in a blender until smooth. Pour into a sealable bag, then add shrimp and marinate at cool room temperature, turning bag occasionally, 30 minutes. Make chutney while shrimp marinate: Toast cumin in a dry small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir together remaining chutney ingredients with 1/4 tsp salt, then sprinkle with toasted cumin.
• Make kebabs:
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas);
• Thread 4 shrimp onto each skewer, leaving small spaces between them. Put on a tray.
• Oil grill rack, then grill skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Serve with chutney.

Steps:

• Make the chutney:
• Bring grapefruit, kumquats, shallot, sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and lowering heat if needed, until citrus is soft and liquid is syrupy, 45-60 minutes. Stir in vinegar and let cool. Cover and chill.
• For the steak and assembly:
• Toast coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool, then finely grind in spice mill or mortar and pestle. Mix ground coriander, coffee, salt, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Season steaks generously with rub (you'll have some left over). Grill steaks, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked to desired doneness, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with citrus chutney.
• Do Ahead
• Chutney can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled. Rub can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat a sauce pot over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (once around the pan). Add the red onions and jalapeños and season with a little salt and pepper; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onions are slightly wilted. Add the pineapple, honey, and 1 cup water, turn the heat down to medium low, and gently simmer for about 5 minutes.
• While the chutney is cooking, preheat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Season the salmon with the coriander, salt, and pepper. Add the seasoned salmon to the hot pan and cook until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• While the salmon is cooking, finish the chutney: Add the mango, lime juice, parsley, and cilantro, stir to combine, and then turn off the heat.
• Transfer the sautéed salmon to 4 serving plates and top each portion with some of the spicy mango-pineapple chutney.

Steps:

• Put shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add turmeric, cayenne, black pepper, garlic, ginger, garam masala, chile, cilantro, mint and lemon juice. Toss to coat well and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes. (May marinate up to several hours in advance, refrigerated.)
• Make the chutney: Put mint, cilantro, garlic, ginger, sugar, salt, cumin and chile in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Purée until smooth, using a little ice water as necessary to help blend the mixture. Add lime juice and transfer to a small serving bowl.
• Just before frying, sprinkle rice flour and chickpea flour over reserved shrimp and toss to coat. Then sprinkle with 1 or 2 tablespoons water and toss. Shrimp should now have a batter-like coating.
• Heat an inch of oil in a wok until nearly smoking, about 375 degrees. Fry a few shrimp at a time until golden and crisp, a minute or so per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until all shrimp are fried. Serve with green chutney.
