Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
2 pounds skirt steak, halved lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces baby arugula
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 ripe beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil and whisk until emulsified. Set aside.

  • Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred on both sides and just cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the arugula and red onion in a large bowl. Add some of the remaining vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Thinly slice the steak across the grain and arrange it on a platter with the tomatoes. Serve with the arugula salad.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

20 leaves fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt to taste
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup white wine
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ pounds roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Mix basil, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt in a bowl. Add shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your shrimp caprese will taste. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, ripe tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella cheese.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality oil that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Season the shrimp well: Before grilling, season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the shrimp.
  • Let the caprese skewers rest before serving: After grilling, let the caprese skewers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp caprese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The combination of grilled shrimp, fresh tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese is sure to please everyone.
