Directions
Shrimp in Ginger Butter Sauce, A completely delightful dish for two or a really smart appetizer! Ginger and cilantro liven this French classic fusing it with a Southwest Asian flare Discovered in Gourmet Magazine, 9/08 Thank you to Vicki in Kansas Brown for the garlic suggestion , Half coconut oil and half butter Used Pinot Grigio instead of Sherry And added in some chick peas since I didn’t use a lot of shrimp Loved how fast & easy this was!, This was one of those dishes where the more I ate it, the more I liked it I made this with bay scallops and I’m going to have to make it with shrimp, ’cause I’m not sure if what I ended up with was anything like the original One change I would make is to flavor the butter with slices of ginger and garlic and then remove them before adding the seafood I started with my heat fairly low to cook the garlic and ginger but in turning it up to add the scallops the garlic started to overcook so I scooped it all out and added a little more butter to the pan If I hadn’t removed it the garlic would have burned which would make it bitter Adding the scallops they released quite a bit of liquid which I poured off and set aside so the wouldn’t just boil At the point the scallops were half done – less then 2 minutes I removed them from the pan, then added the sherry and cilantro (I had to reduce the amount of cilantro because of my DH) and added back the ginger & garlic, and the scallop liquid I reduced this all down to thick consistency the poured it back over the scallops At this point the dish was good, but I thought it needed something, a little fresh lime juice brighted the whole thing and brought out the cilantro without it being overpowering At the end I just wanted a nice crusty piece of bread to dip into the leftover sauce! Thanks for posting Mama, I’ll be making this again Made by one of the Unrulies Under the Influence for ZWT6
