• Recipe: Spicy Shrimp and Leek Fried Rice

  This is a guest post from: Ambitious Deliciousness
  

  
  

  Whenever I see leeks, I think “oh- it’s a unnaturally humongous scallion.” That’s only partially true, as leeks have a complex flavor, sort of a cross between onions and scallions.

  Just make sure you clean them well, as they can be quite dirty inside! Make sure you cut off the stem and clean it thoroughly under running water.
  

  Recipe: Spicy shrimp and leek fried rice
  Makes 5-6 servings

  Ingredients:

  4 cups of cold, cooked rice
  3/4 pound of jumbo shrimp, de-veined and peeled
  1 leek, cleaned and chopped 
  2 shallots, cut into thin strips
  2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce
  2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce
  1 tablespoon of garlic chili oil
  6 cloves of minced garlic
  A dash of black pepper

  
  

  Procedure:

  1. Coat a frying pan (or wok) with corn oil, cook shallots until fragrant and translucent, over medium heat.2. Lower heat and add garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

  
  

  3. Increase heat to medium. Add leeks to the pan, cook for another 3-4 minutes.

  4. Add shrimp to the pan, until color changes to pink and is no longer gray.
