Ginger Lime Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water; drain again. Transfer the edamame to the bowl of a food processor and add the coconut milk, scallion, ginger, lime juice, 4 teaspoons of the Sriracha, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup water. Process until you have a fairly smooth paste, about 1 minute. Taste the dip and add more salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons Sriracha if you like. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with a drizzle of Sriracha. Serve with rice crackers and assorted vegetables for dipping. Cook's Note: Edamame are firmer than most beans, and as a result they make a slightly chunky puree. If you prefer a dip with a very smooth texture, pass it through a sieve after pureeing it, using a spatula to work it through.

Steps:

• Divide the shrimp between two 8- or 9-inch pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
• Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn the heat to high. When the foam subsides, invert a pie pan of shrimp over the skillet so they fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other pan of shrimp. Cook the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn off the heat. Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the ginger, lime juice and zest, mint, and basil to each pan, and shake to combine.
• Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, chili oil, lime juice, vinegar and onion powder in a blender. Process until evenly combined. Chill before serving.

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
• To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
• To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
• Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.
