Provided by Ingrid Hoffmann

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Wooden skewers
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper (or more if you're brave!)
1 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
2 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left intact
2 large ripe and firm mangos, peeled, sliced, and cut into long wedges
4 ears corn, husks and corn silk discarded
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled, pitted, and cubed
1 lime, juiced
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or basil, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 cups mixed salad greens or baby spinach

Steps:

  • Put wooden skewers in a pan of water for 30 minutes, so they don't burn on the grill.
  • To make the marinade:
  • Put the garlic on a cutting board and coarsely chop. Sprinkle with coarse salt and mash the garlic into a paste with the side of the knife. Put the garlic paste in a bowl. Add the cumin, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne. Mix to combine. Stir in the grapefruit juice, lime juice, and oil. Pour out about 1/3 of the marinade and put into a small bowl. Reserve for dressing the salad.
  • Thread the shrimp and mango onto separate skewers and put side-by-side in a baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp and mango; cover with plastic wrap. Put in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for about 30 minutes, flipping the skewers occasionally.
  • To make the salsa:
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high (you may also preheat the oven broiler.)
  • Rub the corn with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the corn directly on the grill grates (or put in a baking pan if using oven method) and cook until the kernels are slightly charred on all sides, turning every couple of minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off of the cobs and put in a mixing bowl. Add the avocado, lime juice, onions, bell peppers, jalapeno, cilantro, vinegar, and remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill (or broil) the shrimp until curled, pink and slightly charred on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes total cooking time. Cook the mangos until grill marks appear, about 1 minute on each side.
  • Divide the mixed greens evenly among 4 plates. Drizzle the reserved mango marinade over the greens. Top with shrimp and mango skewers and a couple of spoonfuls of the roasted corn and avocado salsa. Garnish with some chopped cilantro serve with remaining salsa on the side.

GAZPACHO GRANITA WITH CHOPPED GAZPACHO SALAD, AVOCADO AND FLAME GRILLED SHRIMP IN JALAPENO CILANTRO OIL



Gazpacho Granita with Chopped Gazpacho Salad, Avocado and Flame Grilled Shrimp in Jalapeno Cilantro Oil image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

8 ripe tomatoes, seeded and roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
1/2 English cucumber, roughly chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, leaves roughly chopped
1/2 cup vegetable juice
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
Kosher salt
1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1/2 English cucumber, finely diced
1/2 red onion, finely minced
1 green jalapeno, finely minced
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
Pinch kosher salt
1 bunch cilantro, leaves roughly chopped
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 green jalapeno, roughly chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
Olive oil, for grill
Kosher salt
18 to 24 shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 avocado, halved, pitted and flesh finely diced
Lime juice, to taste

Steps:

  • Granita: Add all the granita ingredients to a blender or food processor and puree. Strain the puree through a sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer the chilled puree into a wide, shallow, heavy-bottomed container. (The shallower and wider the container, the more room you give the granita to freeze quickly.) Cover with foil or plastic wrap and freeze until it begins to appear solid around the edges, about 1 hour. Using a fork, scrape the ice from sides, mixing in from the edges into the center. Repeat this scraping and mixing process every 30 minutes, until the entire mixture has the consistency of shaved ice. Put back in freezer until ready to use.
  • Chopped salad: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Shrimp: Combine the cilantro, lime zest and juice, jalapeno and olive oil in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
  • If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to high, direct heat. If using coals, allow the coals to burn down to glowing white embers. The grill is hot enough when you can hold your hand about 1-inch over it for only 1 second. Lightly grease the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Lightly salt the shrimp and thread each skewer with 3 shrimp. Grill shrimp approximately 2 minutes per side, basting with cilantro oil twice. Remove the shrimp from the grill and add the remaining cilantro oil to a small pan. Heat the oil until bubbling.
  • Add the avocado to a small bowl and drizzle with lime juice.
  • To serve, spoon some of the chopped salad on each serving plate and top with some granita. Add a few teaspoons of avocado, a skewer of shrimp and a drizzle of the hot cilantro oil. Serve immediately.
