Yum Yum Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 3 cups ice water, sugar and salt in a bowl.
• Add the shrimp and set aside 15 minutes, then drain well and pat dry. In another bowl, toss the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning.
• Mix the flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, the remaining Cajun seasoning and the beer in a bowl to make a smooth batter.
• Add the shrimp and stir until evenly coated.
• Heat oil to 350 degrees.
• Working in batches, fry shrimp until golden, about 3 minutes.
• Remove and drain on paper towels; season with salt.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for shrimp.
• Place shrimp in a large zip-loc bag and add the marinade and mix well.
• Place in the refrigerator for several hours, the longer the better.
• Preheat grill on medium heat.
• Thread the shrimp on the skewers.
• Grill over medium heat for about three minutes per side or until shrimp is just pink.

Steps:

• For the mango ginger habanero glaze: In a large pot over medium heat, add sugar, unfiltered apple juice, apple cider vinegar, lime juice and 1 cup water. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add mango puree, ginger, red crushed pepper and habaneros. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture has cooked down to half the amount and is thick and sticky, 2 to 3 hours. Cool and transfer to a squirt bottle for easy application.
• For the sweet lime pepper: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170 degrees F.
• Spread the lime zest on a baking sheet and bake 1 hour, then blend into a powder with a high-powered blender.
• Mix lime powder in a bowl with the sugar, salt and pepper and, boom, you got some Sweet Lime Pepper.
• For the soy lime dressing: In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, soy, mirin, olive oil and sriracha. Transfer to a squirt bottle for easy application. Dressing tends to separate, so shake or stir before use.
• For the slaw: Gather grated daikon in a ball or cheesecloth and squeeze out all the excess water. (Avoiding this step will lead to very wet tacos.)
• Peel any bruised or wilted leaves from cabbage and thinly chop about 2 inches from the bottom, avoiding the core. Chop the scallions and carrots. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and reserve for later.
• For the yum yum shrimp tacos: Preheat a flat griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Oil pan with vegetable oil and drop shrimp in pan. Sprinkle generously with sweet lime pepper, then cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cover again with sweet lime pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add some mango habanero glaze and toss shrimp until a little caramelization forms on the shrimp (being careful not to burn them), another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Line 2 shells with a handful of the slaw, then add soy lime dressing. Add cilantro if using. Place shrimp atop the tacos, then top with sriracha.

Steps:

• Whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, mirin, rice vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and cayenne in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in 1 tablespoon water until smooth and combined.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the garlic powder, paprika and warm water. Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar and sesame oil, and season generously with salt. Stir until smooth.
• Yum yum sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in cooked jasmine rice and frozen peas-carrot mixture; fry until rice begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter and stir to combine. Pour in eggs and cook until firm. Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, and 1/2 lemon juice; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and fry until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and lemon juice. Combine with fried rice mixture.
• Combine mayonnaise, water, paprika, ginger paste, white sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the yum yum sauce. Stir well. Serve with the fried rice.
