2. Cook peas in boiling salted water for a few minutes till done. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Frozen peas can, alternatively, be cooked in the microwave according to the package directions. Drain the cooked peas well.
3. Puree the peas in a blender or food processor using a little white wine for liquid as needed (a hand held immersion blender can also be used). Add wasabi powder to the puree and blend to incorporate. Reheat puree in a small pan adding salt and wasabi powder to taste, if needed.
4. Remove the shrimp from the marinade.?
5. Place a large saute pan over medium high heat with 2 to 3 tbsp of olive oil. When hot add the minced ginger and then add the shrimp. Saute till cooked through (opaque in the center), about 4 to 5 minutes.
6. To serve as an entree: Place about a quarter of the puree on each plate and top with the shrimp. Serve with Green bean tempura as a side.
7. To serve as an hors d'oeuvre: Fill a small dipping bowl with the Wasabi Pea puree and place on a serving plate surrounded by the cooked shrimp. ?
