GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SALSA VERDE



Grilled Shrimp With Salsa Verde image

The sauce in this recipe is ubiquitous along Italy's western coast, where I ate it spooned over a thinly sliced fish steak titled Pesce Spada alla Griglia. It is best enjoyed when the freshest seafood and produce are available. The sauce can be made in advance and the shrimp broiled or grilled just before the meal. From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Yield Makes 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemons, 1 juiced (2 1/2 tablespoons), 1 cut in 6 wedges for garnish
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
24 jumbo shrimp, peeled (about 3 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mince together the garlic, capers, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mint, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, and red-wine vinegar.
  • Preheat the broiler or prepare a grill. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing down the center of each, lengthwise, almost but not completely through. Open both sides to lay flat. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Broil or grill for 2 minutes per side. Place 4 shrimp on each plate and spoon some of the sauce over them. Serve with lemon.

Time 28m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups fresh mint leaves
1 cup fresh parsley, flat-leaf
3 anchovy fillets, drained
2 shallots or 2 garlic cloves, peeled and quartered, I will use both
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 pinch salt
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail intact

Steps:

  • Soak 20 wooden skewers in enough water to cover for 30 minutes (prevents skewers from burning on the grill).
  • Make the salsa verde: puree all the ingredients, except the shrimp, in a blender or food processor until smooth and set aside.
  • This can be make ahead and covered and kept in the refrigerator overnight-remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Thread 3 shrimp through the head on one skewer and with a second skewer thread through the tail, repeat for all the shrimp.
  • This method of 2 skewers keeps the shrimp from spinning when turning on the grill.
  • Brush both sides of skewers with the salsa verde, can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead if kept refrigerated.
  • Prepare grill and cook 2-4 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and are lightly charred.
  • Turn to grill 2-4 minutes more.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound jumbo shrimp (21/25 count), peeled and deveined
1 ear corn, husked
1 small jalapeno pepper
2 scallions
1/2 red onion, cut into 4 wedges, root intact
Canola oil
Kosher salt
1 Persian cucumber, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lime zest (1 lime)
1/4 cup lime juice (4 to 5 limes), plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1 small avocado, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Lightly brush the shrimp, corn, jalapeno, scallions and onion wedges with canola oil, sprinkle with salt and place on the grill. Cook the scallions and shrimp until charred and the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Cook the jalapeno and red onion until charred and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Cook the corn, rotating every 2 minutes, until charred and the kernels have turned bright yellow, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the vegetables and shrimp to a baking sheet and let cool.
  • Cut the grilled shrimp into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a medium bowl. Seed and finely chop the jalapeno; add to the bowl. Finely shop the scallions and red onion and cut the kernels from the corn; add all three to the bowl. Stir in the cucumber, lime zest and juice, paprika, coriander and cumin. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Before serving, fold in the cilantro and avocado. Serve with tortilla chips.
