Shrimp With Orange Mustard Sauce

Simply wonderful! I love the combination of orange and mustard. Although traditional Chinese kitchens don't have ovens, this updated recipe is baked. Still it has all the elements of the traditional Chinese dish, which is "deep-fried" in a wok.

Type: Fish, Shellfish
Courses: Starters and appetizers

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb 454g / 16ozLarge or medium shrimp - (20 to 30) - shelled, deveined,
  With tail shells left on
  Marinade
1 tablespoon 15mlSoy sauce
1 tablespoon 15mlDry sherry or Chinese rice wine
1 teaspoon 5mlSesame oil
1 teaspoon 5mlVegetable oil
1 teaspoon 5mlGrated orange peel
1 teaspoon 5mlCornstarch
  Dipping Sauce
2 tablespoons 30mlFresh lime juice
3 tablespoons 45mlSoy sauce
3 tablespoons 45mlOrange marmalade
2 teaspoons 10mlPrepared Chinese mustard

Recipe Instructions

Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp; stir to coat. Set aside for 20 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients in a small serving bowl; set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the shrimp on a rack in a foil-lined baking pan. Bake until the shrimp feel firm and turn pink, about 6 minutes. Arrange on a platter. Serve warm or at room temperature with the dipping sauce.

This recipe yields about 20 pieces.

Tip: Check the shrimp a minute or two before the recommended baking time is up; it is important not to overcook the shrimp.
