Categories main-dish

Time 9h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Ingredients

1 tablespoon harissa powder
1 teaspoon turbinado sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound 16/20 tail-on shrimp, peeled and deveined
Oil, for the grill grates
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced or zested through a microplane
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
2 hearts of romaine lettuce, halved
1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1 small English cucumber, diced
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
Pickled Red Onions, recipe follows
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 medium red onion, sliced 1/4-inch-thick

Steps:

For the shrimp: Combine the harissa powder, turbinado sugar, baking soda, granulated garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss the shrimp with the dry spices. Skewer and place on a rack in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates and grill the shrimp until charred and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes a side.
For the sweet Greek dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Slowly stream in the oil to emulsify. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
For the salad: Arrange the lettuce, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes and Pickled Red Onions on a platter, then drizzle with the sweet Greek dressing and top with the grilled shrimp skewers. Serve.
Simmer the vinegar, salt, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium pot until dissolved. Add the onions and turn off the heat. Let sit until cool. Transfer to resealable container, then place in the refrigerator overnight.

Tips:

Use fresh, large shrimp: Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
Peel and devein the shrimp: This will help the shrimp cook evenly and make them more flavorful.
Marinate the shrimp in harissa paste: This will help the shrimp absorb the flavors of the harissa and make them more tender.
Use a hot grill: This will help the shrimp cook quickly and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side: Overcooking will make the shrimp tough.
Serve the shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce: Harissa sauce, tzatziki sauce, or a simple lemon-tahini sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Grilled harissa shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful harissa paste and then grilled to perfection. Serve the shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
