**Gazpacho Granita with Chopped Gazpacho Salad, Avocado and Flame-Grilled Shrimp in Jalapeño Cilantro Oil: A Taste of Summer in Every Bite**

When the summer heat sets in, there's nothing quite like a refreshing and flavorful dish to cool you down and tantalize your taste buds. This Gazpacho Granita with Chopped Gazpacho Salad, Avocado and Flame-Grilled Shrimp in Jalapeño Cilantro Oil is the perfect solution, combining the vibrant flavors of Spain with the zesty kick of Mexican cuisine.

The gazpacho granita is a frozen delight, made with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and a touch of sherry vinegar. It's blended until smooth, then poured into a shallow dish and frozen until it reaches a slushy consistency. The result is a refreshing and tangy treat that will instantly cool you down on a hot summer day.

Accompanying the granita is a chopped gazpacho salad, made with the same fresh vegetables as the granita, but chopped into bite-sized pieces. This adds a textural contrast to the smooth granita and provides a burst of fresh flavor in every bite.

To add a touch of richness and creaminess, ripe avocados are sliced and arranged on top of the salad. Their mild flavor and velvety texture complement the tangy gazpacho perfectly.

The crowning glory of this dish is the flame-grilled shrimp in jalapeño cilantro oil. Succulent shrimp are seasoned with a blend of spices, then grilled to perfection. They're served atop the salad, drizzled with a flavorful oil made from jalapeños, cilantro, and olive oil. The combination of smoky, spicy, and herbaceous flavors adds a delightful complexity to the dish.

This Gazpacho Granita with Chopped Gazpacho Salad, Avocado and Flame-Grilled Shrimp in Jalapeño Cilantro Oil is a culinary journey that will transport you to the sun-drenched shores of Spain and the vibrant streets of Mexico. It's a dish that's both refreshing and flavorful, with a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

AUTHENTIC GAZPACHO RECIPE



Authentic Gazpacho Recipe image

The best Spanish gazpacho recipe I've ever tried. This authentic gazpacho is a blend of different vegetables with olive oil, vinegar, and salt.

Provided by Lauren Aloise

Categories     Tapa

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6-7 medium tomatoes
1 green Italian pepper (the long type, not a bell pepper)
1 cucumber
½ of a small white onion
1 clove of garlic (not too big)
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil ((60 ml) again, quality is important)
A splash of Sherry vinegar (Vinagre de Jerez, although red or white wine vinegar can be substituted)
A pinch (or two of salt)
Optional toppings (For ex: diced green apple, diced onion, diced pepper, croutons, & hard-boiled eggs)

Steps:

  • Wash and dry all of the vegetables very well-if you prefer to peel the tomatoes you can, although I usually leave the skin on.
  • Cut the tomatoes into 4 slices (leaving the core behind) and put into your blender.
  • Halve, core, and de-seed the pepper. Cut it into a few slices and add to the blender.
  • Peel the garlic and slice it in half. Remove the core (which often results in bitterness when not cooked).
  • Cut the onion into a few slices and add it to the blender too.
  • Peel the cucumber and cut it in half. Add half to the blender and save the other half for a topping.
  • Blend the vegetables at a high speed until it is completely pureed.
  • Add the salt and vinegar and, while blending on a slow speed, slowly add the olive oil.
  • Taste and adjust salt and vinegar. If the texture is too thick for your liking add some cold water.
  • Refrigerate and serve VERY cold! Add as many (or as few) toppings as you like.

BEST GAZPACHO



Best Gazpacho image

More of a drink than a soup, served in frosted glasses or chilled tumblers, gazpacho is perfect when it is too hot to eat but you need cold, salt and lunch all at the same time. Gazpacho is everywhere in Seville, Spain, where this recipe comes from, but it's not the watered-down salsa or grainy vegetable purée often served in the United States. This version has no bread and is a creamy orange-pink rather than a lipstick red. That is because a large quantity of olive oil is required for making delicious gazpacho, rather than take-it-or-leave it gazpacho. The emulsion of red tomato juice, palest green cucumber juice and golden olive oil produces the right color and a smooth, almost fluffy texture.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 12 servings, about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 8

About 2 pounds ripe red tomatoes, cored and roughly cut into chunks
1 Italian frying (cubanelle) pepper or another long, light green pepper, such as Anaheim, cored, seeded and roughly cut into chunks
1 cucumber, about 8 inches long, peeled and roughly cut into chunks
1 small mild onion (white or red), peeled and roughly cut into chunks
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, more to taste
Salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more to taste, plus more for drizzling

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, onion and garlic in a blender or, if using a hand blender, in a deep bowl. (If necessary, work in batches.) Blend at high speed until very smooth, at least 2 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
  • With the motor running, add the vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture will turn bright orange or dark pink and become smooth and emulsified, like a salad dressing. If it still seems watery, drizzle in more olive oil until texture is creamy.
  • Strain the mixture through a strainer or a food mill, pushing all the liquid through with a spatula or the back of a ladle. Discard the solids. Transfer to a large pitcher (preferably glass) and chill until very cold, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, adjust the seasonings with salt and vinegar. If soup is very thick, stir in a few tablespoons ice water. Serve in glasses, over ice if desired, or in a bowl. A few drops of olive oil on top are a nice touch.
