Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 wooden skewers
8 ounces yellowfin or ahi tuna
8 tiger shrimp, jumbo or larger
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground mustard seed
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup red vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 orange, juiced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't burn when grilling. Cut the tuna into 2-ounce portions, then peel and devein the shrimp. Place 1 shrimp on each skewer, and then place the skewer through a piece of tuna long-ways and "cap" off with 1 more shrimp. In a medium bowl, combine all of the dry herbs and the garlic. Next, add the vinegar and citrus. Finally, slowly whisk in the oil to create a "vinaigrette" consistency. In a deep dish, add the tuna/shrimp skewer and top with half of the marinade. Marinate for no more than 25 minutes, or else the acids will cook the fish. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Preheat a grill or a grill pan.
  • Place the marinated skewers on the grill and cook to desired temperature (1 minute per side will cook the shrimp and make the tuna medium rare).

GARLIC SHRIMP BROCHETTES



Garlic Shrimp Brochettes image

This garlicky green sauce is a good match for shrimp, which are threaded onto skewers and grilled - preferably outdoors, over hot coals, though this recipe also works fine on a stovetop in a cast-iron pan, or under the broiler. The resulting brochettes, which are small (about 2 ounces each), are perfect party food. Threading each piece of meat onto two skewers, rather than one, keeps the meat from twirling and makes it easier to grill. (If you're using bamboo skewers, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes, so they won't catch fire.)

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound large shrimp (preferably wild), peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, more for seasoning
6 garlic cloves, smashed to a paste
1 cup basil leaves, loosely packed
1 cup parsley leaves, loosely packed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season shrimp lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • To skewer, lay shrimp flat on cutting board. Thread shrimp onto two skewers spaced equidistant from center; do this first with one skewer, then the other. Put two or three shrimp onto each set of skewers, for eight brochettes total.
  • In a blender or food processor, put 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the garlic, the basil, the parsley, the red pepper and the zest. Pulse to coarsely grind ingredients. Add oil; blend to a rough sauce.
