ckreef Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My What's your "Beef" entry. Steak Firecrackers Kung Pao marinated NY strips wrapped around firecracker marinated U-12 shrimp. Saffron rice and garden salad with raspberry dressing. This is a play on regular Firecracker Shrimp using steak for the wrap instead of wonton wrappers. Salad ingredients excluding the greens. Making the raspberry dressing. Saffron rice ingredients. When using saffron crush it and allow to bloom in water for 15 minutes. Currents were put in warm water to help them rehydrate. The shrimp and ingredients for the marinade. You prep the shrimp by pealing them leaving the tails on then devain them. On the bottom side cut 4 or 5 slits which helps them to not curl up when cooked. After I got them prepped into the marinade they went. Cooked in my Grill basket in Prometheus. I also took the marinade, added some sweet chilli sauce and reduced it down to make a dredge sauce. NY strip steaks cut 1/4" thick. Ingredients to make the marinade. I trimmed the steaks and squared them up. Pounded as flat as possible. Once done into the marinade they went. Dip the shrimp in the dredge sauce then roll it up and tie it off. Nine Steak Firecrackers ready to go. Seared on a 500* CI griddle. Served family style with the salad in the middle. A lot of work but very tasty. Thanks for looking. Saffron note: everybody thinks saffron is really, really expensive. But not really. Saffron is a very strong spice and it only takes one small pinch in a recipe. I bought 2 grams for $16 with free shipping. You get about 3 pinches per gram so less than $3 everytime you use it and the flavor is definitely worth $3.
