Time 25m

Yield 12 brochettes (2 to 3 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
2 tablespoons queso fresco
1 large jalapeno, half of the seeds removed (to control heat), minced
6 slices thin-cut bacon, cut in half crosswise
8 tablespoons salted butter
1 heaping tablespoon adobo sauce
1 pinch garlic powder
1 lime, juiced
Olive oil, for brushing the grill

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the adobo sauce, garlic powder and lime juice. Pour half of the butter mixture into a bowl for serving and divide the remaining half between 2 bowls for brushing and basting.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat; brush with olive oil. Brush one side of the shrimp with the butter mixture and put the shrimp on the grill buttered-side down. Using the same brush and same butter, brush the second side. Grill for a few minutes, checking to make sure the bacon is not sticking to the grill.
  • Flip the shrimp and cook, flipping as needed and frequently basting with the second small bowl of butter and a clean brush, until the bacon is completely cooked and the shrimp are opaque, about 8 minutes total. Serve the shrimp on a platter with the remaining chipotle butter.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (1-pound) loaf ciabatta bread, trimmed and cut into 14 (1/2-inch thick) slices
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 garlic clove, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large or 2 small shallots, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 pound extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 packed cup arugula, chopped
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • For the toasts: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until light golden, about 10 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes. Rub the warm toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Set aside.
  • For the topping: In a medium skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 2 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste, and add them to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp and chop into 1/2-inch pieces.

Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the tarragon, arugula, mascarpone cheese, and chopped shrimp. Stir until the mixture is creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the toasts on serving plates and drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds large shrimp - peeled, deveined and butterflied
1 (8 ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, sliced
3 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and julienned
1 pound bacon, cut into thirds
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
skewers

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for high heat. Soak skewers in water.
  • Place a strip of jalapeno into the opening of butterflied shrimp. Wrap with a piece of the bacon, and thread onto skewers so that the shrimp is pierced once through the head, and once through the tail, and bacon is secure. You can usually fit about 6 shrimp on a skewer. Make sure there is a little space between the shrimp, this will help the bacon cook better. Season both sides of the shrimp generously with Cajun seasoning.
  • Lightly oil the grill grate. Place shrimp skewers on the grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn, and place slices of cheese over the shrimp. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until bacon is browned, and cheese is melted.

When I was in college, I worked at Pappasito's as a waitress. I LOVED their brochette shrimp and I asked the cook for the recipe.

Tips:

  • Use large shrimp: Jumbo or extra-large shrimp are best for brochettes because they are easier to skewer and will hold up better on the grill.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor them.
  • Skewer the shrimp properly: To prevent the shrimp from spinning on the skewers, skewer them through the tail and then through the body.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Baste the shrimp with the marinade: While the shrimp are grilling, baste them with the marinade to keep them moist and flavorful.
