Wd Shrimp With Cheseapeake Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the shrimp with the salt and pepper, coating them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, start the sauce: In a blender, combine the chiles, garlic, lime juice, and salt and blend until the bits are the size of a match head. Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and keep at room temperature.
• Heat a smoker to 225°F. Rinse the seasoning off the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in the smoker and smoke until they turn dark coral, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the shrimp are smoking, stir the sugar and fish sauce into the sauce, then taste and adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce if needed. Aim for sour and hot first, then salty and just a tad bit of sweetness. Stir in the cilantro.
• Serve the shrimp with the sauce.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine shrimp, 3 cups water, soy sauce, anise, peppercorns and ginger. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and let sit, undisturbed, for about 30 minutes. If you are not serving right away, refrigerate shrimp in liquid; recipe may be prepared to this point a day before serving.
• When ready to serve, drain shrimp, and put on a platter. Whisk together hoisin and sesame oil in a small bowl; serve shrimp with this sauce.

Steps:

• Bring beer (or water) and spices to a boil in a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat. Cover and boil gently 5 minutes.

• Add shrimp to saucepan; return to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer, stirring once, 4 to 5 minutes until shrimp turn pink and are barely opaque at the center. Drain and serve immediately with the sauce.
