Gillian Duffy Author, Hors d'Oeuvres (William Morrow, 1998) Seared Shrimp Marinated in Lemon & Ginger Makes 20 Shrimp These fragrant lemon-ginger-cilantro-marinated shrimp are pretty close to irresistible. The recipe from caterer Bob Spiegel can easily be doubled. 3 cloves garlic 1-inch cube of fresh ginger root, peeled 1 cup loosely packed, coarsely chopped fresh cilantro 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (or high-quality regular soy sauce) teaspoon olive oil 20 jumbo shrimp (about 1 pounds), peeled and deveined Method: In a food processor, puree the garlic, ginger, and cilantro. Add the lemon juice, soy sauce, and olive oil. In a medium-size bowl, toss the marinade with the shrimp and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Heat a nonstick saute pan over high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, one at a time, and put them in the pan, taking care not to crowd them. Cook for 2 minutes on each side.
