Best Babes Spicy Mayo Shrimp Recipes

15-MINUTE SPICY SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the shrimp and the spices.
• Cook until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque, about 5 minutes. If using extra-large shrimp, place them on the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. For smaller shrimp, cook for a total of about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Garnish with parsley and serve, on cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, or on a bed of green leaves such as spinach or arugula.

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY MAYO

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a wide, shallow bowl. Beat the eggs with a splash of water in a second bowl. Combine the panko and coconut in a third bowl. Line a pan in foil and set aside.
• Toss the shrimp in the flour mixture to coat; then, working one at a time, shake off the excess flour and dip the shrimp in the egg. Let the excess egg drip off, then toss the shrimp in the coconut-panko mixture until thoroughly coated. Put the shrimp on the lined pan and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot and a panko crumb dropped into it sizzles immediately. Line a plate with a paper towel. Add about half of the shrimp, making sure the skillet is not too crowded, and pan-fry, turning once, until the shrimp are cooked through and golden brown all over, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to the lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Serve with the Spicy Mayo and lemon wedges.
• Combine the mayonnaise, sriracha and lemon juice in a small bowl.

SPICY LEMON SHRIMP WITH BASIL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. In medium glass or plastic bowl, mix lemon peel, lemon juice, red pepper, salt, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add shrimp; toss to coat. In ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan, spread shrimp.
• Broil shrimp with tops 2 to 3 inches from heat 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp are pink and firm.
• In food processor, place basil and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cover and process until chopped. Add mayonnaise; cover and process until smooth. Serve shrimp with mayonnaise.

SHRIMP IN MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Whisk together the egg yolk, salt, mustard, and vinegar in a roomy bowl. To add the oil, start whisking the yolk mixture and let the oil fall from the spout, drop by drop, until you have achieved a thick, velvety mayonnaise. Taste it. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper until the balance is to your liking.
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Fry the shrimp until just cooked through and still juicy. Arrange the shrimp on a platter with the mayonnaise in a dish alongside, for dipping.

CRISPY SHRIMP CAKES WITH CHILE-LIME MAYO

Steps:

• In the bowl of the food processor (or you can use a blender), add the rice cakes and pulse until you get 1 1/4 cups rice cake crumbs. Return 1/4 cup crumbs to the food processor, reserving the remaining 1 cup for coating the cakes.
• Add shrimp, shallot, 4 tablespoons each of the cilantro and basil, and 2 tablespoons jalapeño to the crumbs. Add 2 teaspoons fish sauce, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse, chunky paste. (Be careful not to overprocess; if using a blender, scrape down the sides frequently.) Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate while you make the sauce (at least 15 minutes and up to 24 hours).
• In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, remaining cilantro, basil, jalapeño and fish sauce. Zest the lime into the bowl, then cut the naked lime into wedges and squeeze in some juice. Salt to taste. Reserve extra lime wedges for serving.
• Spread remaining 1 cup rice cake crumbs out onto a plate or sheet pan. With wet hands to keep shrimp paste from sticking, form 2 tablespoons of shrimp mixture into a 1/2-inch-thick patty and put it on top of the crumbs. Repeat with remaining shrimp mixture, re-wetting your hands as necessary. Turn the patties over in the crumbs to coat both sides.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry patties in batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve shrimp cakes topped with more basil leaves, with chile-lime sauce for dunking and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
