2 medium heads of garlic, separated into cloves, peeled (about 24 cloves)
3/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 1/2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, deveined but with shells intact*

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.

1 yellow tomato, seeded, cut in 1/2-inch dice
1 green bell pepper, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup (about 6 ounces) green seedless grapes, cut in half
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry or white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 head Boston or butter lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bread cubes on a baking sheet; toast until nuts are aromatic and bread is dried and barely golden, about 7 minutes; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine tomato, pepper, cucumber, celery, red onion, scallions, grapes, parsley, tarragon, half the almonds, and the bread cubes. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Add the salt and pepper. Toss well to combine. Let sit for 30 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve over lettuce garnished with remaining almonds.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your gazpacho will be. Choose tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling the ingredients before making your gazpacho will help it to be extra refreshing. You can even chill your bowls or glasses before serving.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in gazpacho, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Add a splash of vinegar: Vinegar helps to brighten the flavors of gazpacho and balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes. You can use red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, or sherry vinegar.
  • Season to taste: Gazpacho should be seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or paprika, to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or parsley, add a pop of color and flavor to gazpacho. You can also garnish with croutons or grated hard cheese.
