According to Nigella, this quick and delicious meal makes her feel, “smug and holy”!
2 tbs. water
2 tbs. sake
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 tbs. lime juice
1/2 tsp. wasabi powder or 1 tsp. paste
2 tsp. garlic flavored olive oil
2 scallions, thinly sliced
8 oz. shell-off large shrimp (fresh or frozen)
salad leaves, rice or noodles
fresh cilantro, to serve (optional)
Stir together the water, sake, salt, lime juice and wasabi.
Heat a small wok or skillet and add the olive oil and scallions. Stir about for a minute or two, then tip in the shrimp. Cook for 3 minutes or until they start to turn pinkish.
Add the liquid mixture and bring to a bubble, then cook for another 3 minutes stirring the shrimp in the sauce until completely cooked through. Serve over salad, noodles or rice with fresh cilantro, if using.
