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.

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
