Provided by Roger Mooking

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 very large shrimp (6-8 count), peeled and deveined
Zest of 1 lime
1/2 habanero pepper, sliced
2 tablespoons coconut oil, at room temp
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Avocado Puree, recipe follows
1 avocado
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup sour cream
A fistful of fresh cilantro
Kosher salt
Ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Use a paring knife to score along the inside curve of each shrimp so it lays flat. Put the shrimp in a medium bowl and toss with the lime zest, habanero, coconut oil and some pepper. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a large griddle. Thread each shrimp straight on a skewer; season with salt and remove most of the habanero. Put the shrimp on the griddle using foil to prop up the skewers so they don't touch the griddle and burn. Grill, turning occasionally, until cooked.
  • Put the Avocado Puree in six 2- to 3-inch glasses or vessels. Add a shrimp skewer to each.
  • Combine the avocado, lime juice, sour cream and cilantro and puree in a mini food processor. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds large frozen shrimp, thawed, shelled and deveined
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and drained
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped jalapenos or a pinch cayenne, optional
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
1 small ripe Haas avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed just before cooking
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Dice the romaine into bite sized pieces, place in large salad bowl and set aside. In a medium non-stick pan heat the olive oil. Add the avocado and saute for 5 minutes. Remove the avocado with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of avocado oil into a small bowl, and reserve.
  • Add the minced shallot to the skillet and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring until shallots begin to soften (about 30 seconds). Add the shrimp, salt and pepper and jalapenos or cayenne, if using, and saute until shrimp are cooked through (3-4 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and spoon the shrimp into the bowl with the Avocado pieces. Add the chives and cilantro and fold together gently, just to combine the ingredients. With a rubber spatula, scrape any remaining oil in the skillet into the bowl with the reserved avocado oil. Whisk in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste to make a dressing. Toss some of the dressing with the romaine until the lettuce is nicely coated, divide among serving plates. Top the lettuce with hot shrimp mixture, drizzle with additional dressing, garnish with cilantro and serve.

GARLICKY GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SPICY AVOCADO DIPPING SAUCE



Garlicky Grilled Shrimp with Spicy Avocado Dipping Sauce image

I'm not suffering at all on the South Beach Diet. I've found many great recipes that fit into the plan. Dieting or not this is a great dish that brings the taste of the southwest to your grill. The shrimp is brushed with a garlic/olive oil puree, then dipped in an avocado sauce that lights up your palate. This is not time consuming, throw things in the food processor and send your better half out to grill. Then pick up a book and sip a pina colada....and wait for dinner.
