Chile-Lime Sauce image

Provided by Kathy Brennan

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup (120 ml)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 red or green jalapeño, unseeded and thinly sliced crosswise, or more to taste
1 packed tablespoon light brown sugar

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, jalapeños, and brown sugar. (Or, in a 12-ounce/180-ml or larger jar with a lid, combine the ingredients, cover, then shake vigorously.) Dip a piece of lettuce in the dressing and check the seasonings; add more jalapeños, if you like. The sauce should have a balance of hot, sweet, sour, and salty, which is typical of Thai foods. Keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Provided by Leela Punyaratabandhu

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 pounds jumbo (21 to 25 per pound) or extra-jumbo (16 to 20 per pound) shrimp, left whole
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tsbp. ground white or black pepper
15 green bird's eye chiles, or 8 jalapeño or serrano peppers, sliced
15 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. granulated sugar
¼ cup fish sauce
¼ cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and stems

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix the shrimp with the salt and pepper, coating them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Meanwhile, start the sauce: In a blender, combine the chiles, garlic, lime juice, and salt and blend until the bits are the size of a match head. Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and keep at room temperature.
Heat a smoker to 225°F. Rinse the seasoning off the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in the smoker and smoke until they turn dark coral, 20 to 25 minutes.
While the shrimp are smoking, stir the sugar and fish sauce into the sauce, then taste and adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce if needed. Aim for sour and hot first, then salty and just a tad bit of sweetness. Stir in the cilantro.
Serve the shrimp with the sauce.
