Sambal Oelek Shrimp

1/20/2020

5 Comments

 
​Sambal Oelek is an Asian chili sauce made with red chili peppers and rice vinegar. It can be purchased at Whole Foods as well as on Amazon. This dish incorporates many Asian flavors and is very easy to make (less than one hour). I used pre-cooked shrimp for expediency although you can use raw shrimp. It is colorful, spicy, and, most important, delicious!

Ingredients:
1/2 pound pre-cooked shrimp, tails removed (If using raw shrimp, then shell and devein shrimp beforehand)
1 small red pepper, washed, cut into strips
1 small orange pepper, washed, cut into strips
1 jalapeno pepper, cored and diced
2 green onions, sliced thin
1 tablespoon of canola oil

White rice cooked according to directions (start with one cup raw rice). You can also use brown rice if you prefer.

Sauce 
This sauce is from theflavorbender.com
​

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar, unseasoned
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup of white sugar
5 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
2 1/2 tablespoons of sambal oelek
4 teaspoons of cornstarch
2 tablespoons of water

Directions: Serves two.
​1. If using raw shrimp, shell and devein. If using pre-cooked shrimp, remove the tails and any shell that surround the tail. Set aside.
2. Cook your rice according to package directions. White rice will take 15 minutes. Brown rice will take 45 minutes.
3. For the sauce, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper flakes in a sauce pan and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Then bring to a low boil and cook for 2 minutes. Add the Sambal Oelek and gently whisk until combined. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened. 
4. Mix the water and cornstarch until smooth and add it to the sauce. Simmer for another 2-4 minutes until desired thickness. Stir mixture as it is thickening so it doesn't burn. Turn heat off and cover with lid to keep warm.
5. If using raw shrimp, heat tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add shrimp and saute. Saute the shrimp at a medium low heat until the flesh is totally pink and opaque, and you see no more grey bits. This will take 4-5 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside. If you are using pre-cooked shrimp, you will add this after the vegetables are sauteed.
6. Saute vegetables: Add all peppers to the pan and saute until al dente. You want them to maintain their bright colors and still be slightly crisp. Add shrimp to the pan and saute for another minute to warm them up.
7. Add the Sambal Oelek sauce and gently toss.


Plating
Scoop rounded balls of rice with an ice cream scoop and place in the center of a plate or shallow bowl. Spoon shrimp and vegetables around the rice. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
