Viet Cajun Shrimp Boil Wrapped In Banana Leaves Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Tear the banana leaves in half and place 4 ounces of tilapia in the center of each leaf. Lay vegetables and olives or raisins across the top of fish. Squeeze 1/4 lemon on each piece. Drizzle olive oil over top, season with salt and pepper, to taste and top with orange peels. Wrap ingredients in the leaves and bake for 15 to 18 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash the banana leaves and brush them with a delicate amount of olive oil. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, a little citrus juice and any other desired aromatics. Wrap in the salmon in banana leaves and place in a 350 degree F oven until done (about 7 minutes).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a very sharp knife, gently slash the skin on both sides of the salmon, about 5 slashes per side. Place the lemon slices in the belly of the salmon. In a small bowl, whisk together the sake, bean paste, salt, Szechuan peppercorns and lemon juice. Whisk in the oil to make a paste. Rub this mixture all over the salmon, including the inside cavity and in the slashes. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Place the whole salmon on top of a large banana leaf. Wrap the salmon in the banana leaves, so the entire salmon is wrapped tightly. Place the salmon on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes or until an instant read thermometer registers 135 degrees. To serve: Cut the banana leaves down the center and peel back.;

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Microwave the potatoes until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Let cool a few minutes, then dice.
• Put 4 tablespoons butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Add the potatoes, corn, garlic and Old Bay and toss well; season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the vegetables among the foil sheets, piling them in the middle. Add the shrimp to the same bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper; toss well. Add the shrimp to the vegetable piles.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons wine over each pile of vegetables and shrimp. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 4 pieces and add a piece to each pile. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice; fold in the sides to form a packet.
• Grill the foil packets until the potatoes are tender and the shrimp is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with the parsley; serve with the lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Over high heat, bring 2 gallons water, 1/4 cup seafood seasoning and 1/8 Cajun spice to a boil. Add the potatoes and corn and cook until potatoes are soft to the touch, 15 to 18 minutes. Next, add the onions and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Next, add the sausage and shrimp and cook until the shrimp are bright pink, a final 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the water with a strainer.
• Next, in a large bowl, blend the remaining 1/4 cup seafood seasoning, 1/8 cup Cajun spice with the butter. Whisk together and toss with the cooked boil, tossing to well coat. Serve.

Steps:

• Sear the shrimp on one side in a skillet on medium-high heat with a little bit of vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Add the shallots and garlic. Once the shrimp are partially cooked, after about 1 minute, remove from the skillet. Next, add the bananas and break up the bananas with tongs while sauteing to essentially mash. Saute for 1 minute.
• Add the water/soy mix, sambal and honey and saute another minute until heated through. Return the shrimp to the skillet and finish cooking, 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with the lime juice and cilantro, and then season again if necessary.
• Spoon the banana sauce into bowls. A small concave vessel with a large bell is best. Place 5 shrimp to a bowl on top of the sauce. Garnish with onion sprouts.
