Poached Tiger Prawns With Clams Bok Choy And Shiitake Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Soak shiitakes in 1 cup very hot water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. Trim mushrooms and chop. Separate leaves and stems of bok choy; cut stems into 2-inch lengths and slice leaves into ribbons.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. When oil is hot, add bok choy stems, garlic, if using, reconstituted mushrooms, and about 1/4 cup reserved mushroom water.
• Cook, stirring frequently, until stems are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil; saute fresh shiitake mushrooms over medium-high heat. Continue cooking until they begin to brown and crisp on edges.
• Into the large skillet or wok, add bok choy leaves and oyster sauce and toss vegetables gently to combine; continue cooking until greens wilt, about 2 more minutes. Serve immediately, topped with crisp mushrooms.

Steps:

• For the prawns: In a measuring cup, whisk together the agave, sugar, lemon juice and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved. Pour half of the mixture into a large bowl; reserve the rest in the cup for serving. To the marinade in the bowl, add the olive oil, chile flakes, paprika, garlic, ginger, orange zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the prawns, stirring to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
• For the grilled pineapple salsa: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Thread the pineapple cubes onto skewers. Grill until grill marks appear, turning once, 3 minutes per side. Remove the skewers from the heat; turn the heat down to medium.
• Remove the pineapple cubes from the skewers and place in a large bowl, along with the tomatoes, jalapenos, red onions, parsley and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then set aside.
• For the cilantro crema: Stir together the sour cream, agave, lemon juice and cilantro. Set aside.
• Grill the prawns: Clean and lightly oil the grill grates. Remove the prawns from the marinade and grill, turning once, until grill marks appear and the prawns are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Serve the prawns drizzled with the reserved marinade and the cilantro crema, and with the pineapple salsa on the side.

Steps:

• Place figs, mango, ginger, red pepper, rice vinegar, honey, and cayenne in a small saucpan. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, and then refrigerate until completely chilled.
• Fill tomatoes with fig chutney. Place tomato in the center of each plate. Arrange shrimp on tomato, with tails down. Garnish with cilantro and chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven on broiler setting. With a sharp knife, remove tails from prawns, and butterfly them from the underside. Arrange prawns on broiler pan.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter with garlic and lemon juice. Pour 1/4 cup butter mixture in a small bowl, and brush onto prawns. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over shrimp.
• Place broiler pan on top rack, and broil prawns for 4 to 5 minutes, or until done. Serve with remaining butter mixture for dipping.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the chicken stock, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Peel the shrimp and slice in half lengthwise. Remove any veins. Wash the shrimp under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.
• Clean the shiitake mushrooms with a dry, clean towel or brush. Cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch slices. Wash the baby bok choy and cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside to dry.
• Heat a frying pan or wok on high heat until smoking. Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil into the pan. Add the shrimp and cook it until it changes color (20 to 30 seconds). Remove from pan and set aside.
• Without cleaning the pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add mushrooms and bok choy and stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Add the shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Then add the rice wine and continue to stir. Add the stir-fry sauce and cook until shrimp is fully cooked, about 15 seconds.
• Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice. Any remaining sauce may be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen.
