Dynamite Shrimps

I love shrimps from as long as I can remember which makes it the only thing I love the most after family.

Months ago ER QUEEN from twitter told me to make PF Chang style Dynamite Shrimps and share the recipe but I had never taste it so I was a bit hesitant.

In my short visit to US I never had the chance to visit PF Chang so I decided to attempt this myself.

True to it's name. Dynamite Shrimps is a burst of different flavors and is definitely a must have or make.

Ingredients For Fried Shrimps:

500 grams large shrimps peeled and devained

1/2 cup all purpose flour

2 eggs

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon red pepper

4 tablespoon bread crumbs

Ingredients For Sauce:

7 tablespoons mayonnaise

5 tablespoons ketchup

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

4 tablespoons sriracha sauce (if not available then any other hot sauce)

4 tablespoons soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper

First of all I needed to get rid of that shrimp tail so I did that.

Now we mix the all purpose flour with salt, black pepper, red pepper and bread crumbs.

Next we break the two eggs and whisk them and prepare the breading station by placing the egg batter and flour mixture side by side.

Dip the shrimp in the egg batter and then coat it with the flour. Repeat this process once more to complete the shrimp coating.

Now we move towards frying it.

So we will warm up some oil in a non stick pan on medium low heat.

Fry the shrimps in it till golden brown from both sides around 3-4  minutes.

Take the shrimps out separately.

They look so nice and chunky or they don't?

Now we prepare the sauce.

In a bowl add mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, red pepper, ketchup, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and sriracha sauce. Whisk it till everything in the bowl is properly mixed.

This is your dynamite sauce.

Now you just take out a nice cocktail glass.

Dip the shrimp in the dynamite sauce and add it to the glass.

Top it off with finely chopped green onions and Dynamite Shrimp is ready to serve.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can't say something new every time but prepare your eyes for Dynamite Shrimps.

Asian Jalapeño Chicken

Making food for people is all about showing your love towards them, taking care of their emotions and feelings. I'M KIDDING who gives a crap about emotions and feelings these days. I don't have any.

So, in search of a new recipe I came across something very different and to my surprise it was of Chinese decent. It's called Jalapeño Chicken but that also sounds like a Mexican or Continental dish so, we name it Asian Jalapeño Chicken.

It's sweet, savory and spicy all in the same time. The best part is that it's super easy to make and only takes 5 minutes to prepare and 10-15 minutes to make depending upon how good you are with the stove or the gas cylinder because its winters and the GOVERNMENT is messing up gas supplies.

Ingredients:

500 grams boneless chicken cut in 1 inch long cubes

1/2 cup honey

1 teaspoon garlic paste

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

juice of 2-3 lemons

1/4 teaspoon sesame seed

1 sliced jalapeño 

1 sliced lemon, pinch of sesame seeds, chopped coriander leaves and more sliced jalapeños for garnishing

First we season the chicken with some salt and pepper.

Then we heat oil in a wok or non-stick pan and start frying the chicken until its golden brown.

Set it aside.

Now in a bowl add honey, soy sauce, garlic paste, sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and sesame seed.

Mix it to prepare the gravy mixture.

Chop slices of lemon and coriander leaves for garnishing later.

Now on a frying pan heat 1-2 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat and add the gravy mixture.

Bring it to a boil, add the chicken, jalapeño slices and some lemon slices.

Let it cook as the chicken absorbs the gravy and it will thicken in 5-7 minutes.

Asian Jalapeño Chicken is ready to serve.

Top it with more jalapeño slices, sesame seeds and coriander leaves. This is best eaten with plain boiled rice or even boiled bran rice.

Ladies and gentlemen, let go of your taste-buds for the SWEET, SAVORY AND SPICY Asian Jalapeño Chicken.
