SOUTHWESTERN SHRIMP WITH SALSA



Southwestern Shrimp with Salsa image

I prefer grilling in the summer because you don't need to turn on the stove and heat up the house. If you want to get fancy, serve it in a chilled martini glass for a beautiful presentation. The rice and/or shrimp can be cooked a day ahead and refrigerated until serving. -Lindsay Matuszak, Reno, Nevada

BUTTER POACHED SHRIMP WITH JASMINE RICE AND AVOCADO CORN SALSA



BUTTER POACHED SHRIMP WITH JASMINE RICE AND AVOCADO CORN SALSA image

Categories     Shellfish     Poach     Dinner

Yield 4 plates

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb. uncooked shrimp
1 boil-in-bag Minute Jasmine Rice
1/2 stick butter
1 avocado
1 lime (or bottled lime juice)
1 ear corn
1 tbsp. olive oil
4 tbsp. grapeseed oil
1 potato
garlic powder
salt

Steps:

  • Set the oven to 400F. Peel shrimp if necessary. Place ear of corn in oven. Just on the rack is fine, but make sure none of the husk is hanging off. Slice potato into thin slices horizontally, like making potato chips. You'll need about 6. Heat grapeseed oil in pan, then place the potato slices in. Flip when browned, about 4 minutes. Cook 4 minutes on other side. Remove and place on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder to taste. Follow instructions on Minute Rice box for cooking rice. Cover the bottom of a 1-quart pan with water and heat it on the stove. When it starts to steam, begin whisking in the butter 1 tbsp. at a time. Then turn the heat down pretty much as low as it will go. Add the shrimp to the butter. They need to cook about 4-5 minutes on each side. Make sure you watch the liquid carefully. If it starts to bubble either turn down the heat, or remove the pan from the burner if the heat won't go any lower. Once the shrimp have cooked (you'll be able to tell because they'll be pink), take them out of the butter. Take corn out of oven. The husk should be browned from roasting. Remove the husk and cut the corn off the cob. Cut avocado into small cubes. Combine corn, avocado, olive oil, and 1 tbsp. lime juice and toss together. Add salt to taste. (This is how I like to plate it, but you can do whatever obviously) Place a cup of rice on a plate. A dry cup measure also works nicely for a mold. Add about 3-4 shrimp on top of the rice. Spoon some of the butter mixture on top of the shrimp. Place the potato chip on top of shrimp. Top the chip with the avocado corn salsa. This recipe is a lot more filling then it seems (lots of butter, yum). Hope you enjoy it!

Chile-Rubbed Shrimp with Avocado Corn Cocktail image

Provided by Steven Raichlen

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 jumbo shrimp (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Avocado and Corn Salsa

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water, then blot them dry with paper towels.
  • 2. Place the chile powder, garlic salt, coriander, oregano, cumin, and pepper in a mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Stir in the olive oil. Let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 3. Cook the shrimp, following the instructions below for any of the grills, until just cooked through. When done the shrimp will turn pinkish white and will feel firm to the touch.
  • 4. Spoon the Avocado and Corn Salsa into 4 large martini glasses or serving bowls. Drape 4 of the hot shrimp over the edge of each glass or bowl and serve at once. Or for a cold shrimp cocktail, let the cooked shrimp cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the shrimp, covered, until they are chilled before serving them with the salsa. The cooked shrimp can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • CONTACT GRILL:
  • Preheat the grill; if your contact grill has a temperature control, preheat the grill to high. Place the drip pan under the front of the grill. When ready to cook, lightly oil the grill surface. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grill, then close the lid. The shrimp will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes.
  • GRILL PAN:
  • Place the grill pan on the stove and preheat it to high over medium heat. When the grill pan is hot a drop of water will skitter in the pan. When ready to cook, lightly oil the ridges of the grill pan. Place the marinated shrimp in the hot grill pan. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.
  • BUILT-IN GRILL:
  • Preheat the grill to high, then, if it does not have a nonstick surface, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grate. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.
  • FREESTANDING GRILL:
  • Preheat the grill to high; there's no need to oil the grate. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grill. They will be done after cooking 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • FIREPLACE GRILL:
  • Rake red hot embers under the gridiron and preheat it for 3 to 5 minutes; you want a hot, 2 to 3 Mississippi fire. When ready to cook, brush and oil the gridiron. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grate. They will be done after cooking 1 to 3 minutes per side.
