New York Strips and Wok Shrimp Tempura!

Nothing complicated about last nights dinner; New York Strips and Wok Shrimp Tempura for seven (7)...Used my Jail Break Steak Rub to marinate the steaks and a little Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic to marinate the Shrimp then dipped them in tempura batter and semi-deep fried them in our Emile Henry Wok in Vegetable Oil with Green Onions and Minced Garlic.

No new recipes this weekend, enjoying company and a little less time on the computer creating original recipes, etc.  Enjoy!



The changes in proportion and the substitution of Himalayan Pink Salt combined with the use of a Mortar and Pestle created the exact coarseness required to match the original.   Working in small batches helped as well.  This has become our replacement steak seasoning now outpacing our top three ‘famous’ retail rubs now when we grill out prime cuts like KC Strips or Rib-eyes.   

 

Ingredients – You determine the size of the batch you want to create, however if you use a portion of 3 as approximately equal to 3 Tsp. you will produce 2.8 ounces (or a couple of small spice bottles) full of rub.

 

€        3 portions - Granulated Roasted Garlic (20 g or .9 Oz.)

€        1 portion - Coriander powder (2 g or .1 Oz)

€        2 portions – Himalayan Pink Salt (16 g or .6 Oz)

€        2 portions – 4 Color Peppercorns (9 g. or .3 Oz.)

€        2.5 portions - Red Pepper Flakes (8-9 g. or .3 Oz)

€        2.25 portions - Dill Seed (6 g. or .2 Oz.)

€        2.25 portions - Yellow Mustard seed (9 g. or .4 Oz)
