888.0. "SHRIMP: Spicy Shrimp Recipe" by CISM::NOTKIN () Fri Dec 18 1987 12:47

    
    I have been looking for a recipe that looks similar (or even better;
    that is the same as) to the spicy baby shrimp dish from WeyLu's
    in Saugus.  It is a marvelous spicy dish with tiny baby shrimps
    in a tomato based sauce with diced onions, diced water chesnuts,
    and a few chopped scallions (it may seem at though it would be
    overpowered with onion flavor, but it's not).  It is like a
    shrimp and tomato stew.  It's wonderful!!!!!!  I live in Marlborough
    and I travel all the way to Saugus just for this dish.  I would
    LOVE it if someone out there knew the recipe, or one like it.
    
    				HELP!!

    I don't know the specific chineese recipe, but I have a terriffic
    spicy shrimp and scallop recipe.
    
    1 lb med. shrimp shell and devein
    1 lb bay scallops   (or sea scallops cut up)
    1 large can chopped tomatoes
    8oz. clam or shrimp juice
    3 teaspoons chopped garlic
    1 large onion diced
    red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste
    
    Sautee onion til translucent.  Add garlic and sautee another
    minute or so.  Add tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil.
    Add the pepper and taste.
    
    Just before serving, add the shrimp and scallops and allow to
    cook about 5 minutes.  You can pour it over spagetti, or make it
    less soupy and just put it in bowls and serve with really crusty
    french bread.  I like the less soupy variety myself.  I also allow
    the tomatoes and onion mixture to boil awhile so that it thickens
    a bit.

    1lb. med shrimp shelled & cleaned
    3 cloves fresh garlic minced
    4 tbl. or 1/2 stick unsalted butter
    3 jalapeno peppers minced
    1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock
    1 cup heavy cream
    1 tbl. fresh lime juice
    2 tbl. fresh minced cilantro or 2 tsp ground corriander
    1/4-1/2 cup of coconut flakes (recipes suggests fresh cocunut but
    used a bag of sweetened and it was fine, it also offset the peppers)
          Saute garlic lightly 1 min. Add shrimp over med  heat until
    just pink 3-4 min. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon and keep warm.
    Add Jalapeno peppers to frying pan and saute lighlty 2 min. Turn
    flame up add chicken stock cilantro and cream until reduced and
    thickened to about a cup, probably 7 min. Turn off heat stir in
    lime juice. Pour sauce over shrimp and serve on rice, sprinkle with
    coconut flakes.
    	This dish taste kind of like a Thai dish to me. But if you don't
    like hot spicy foods it'll burn your mouth off!
