I make shrimps often for my family, so I'm always looking for new and interesting 🍤recipes. This rich cream sauce is probably one of my favorite ways to cook them. Shrimp paste or prawn sauce is a fermented condiment commonly used in Southeast Asian and Southern Chinese cuisines.
Steps to make Shrimp in shrimp sauce:
- Dice up the leek, celery, carrot, and bell pepper (I'm going to call this the mirepoix, even though it technically isn't)
- Peel the shrimp, reserving the heads, tails, and shells for the sauce.
- In a large saucepan, heat 1 tbs of oil over medium heat and sauté the mirepoix (with the bay leaf) until tender.
- Add in the tomato paste and and stir until combined.
- Add the reserved heads, tails, and peels to the mirepoix, mix to coat with oil, and press down on them a few times with a spatula to get out all that good shrimp flavor. Sauté for another five minutes or so until the shrimp parts turn red, stirring and pressing occasionally.
- Add the chicken stock, bring the heat up to a boil, then reduce and let simmer until stock is reduced by 1/2 or so.
- In the meantime, make a brown roux with the butter and flour. I did this by melting the butter, adding in the flour and stirring continuously over medium heat for about six minutes or so until it turned caramel colored and gave off a nutty smell. Set roux aside.
- When sauce is reduced, pour the contents of the sauce pan into a strainer over a small saucepan until all you have is the liquid broth.
- Add the celery seeds, paprika, and black pepper to the broth. Bring up the heat and incorporate the roux. Reduce until sauce coats the back of a spoon – runny but not watery. NOTE: I would use between 1 and 1 1/2 tbs of the roux – I put 2 tbs in the recipe to err on the side of caution. Taste the sauce and season as necessary; I didn't add any salt because the chicken stock had enough already.
- In a separate pan, heat 1 tbs oil over medium and cook the shrimp with the lemon juice, the dried parsley, and the pepper. I cook the shrimp in batches to avoid crowding. Season to taste.
- For the tomatoes, cook them over medium heat with 1/2 tbs of oil until tender or you can cook them in batches with the shrimp. Season to taste.
- Add shrimp to plate, pour on the sauce, top with tomatoes and capers, and serve.
