Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 scallions, white and light-green parts only, finley chopped
  • 3 six-inch pieces sugarcane, fresh or canned, cut lengthwise into quarters
  • Scallion-Infused Oil, optional

Directions

In a small skillet, heat oil over low heat. Add onion and shallots; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes.

In a food processor, pulse shrimp to a textured paste, about 20 pulses. Transfer to a bowl; add onion mixture, fish sauce, salt, sugar, garlic, pepper, cornstarch, paprika, baking powder, and scallions. Stir to combine; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Lightly brush a baking sheet with oil. Dampen your hands slightly with cold water and shape 2 tablespoons shrimp paste into a ball. Hold shrimp paste in one hand and press a piece of sugarcane into it, enclosing center of sugarcane but leaving about 1 1/2 inches exposed at top and bottom. Set aside on prepared baking sheet. Repeat, using all shrimp paste and sugarcane.

Brush a bamboo or metal steamer basket with oil; place over boiling water in a wide saucepan or wok. Steam sugarcane sticks, covered, until shrimp is opaque, 4 to 5 minutes. They may be prepared up to this point 6 hours in advance; refrigerate until about 15 minutes before ready to serve.

Brush a grill or grill pan with oil; heat until hot. Grill sticks until lightly charred all over, 5 to 8 minutes. Brush with Scallion Oil, if desired, and serve.
