Categories     Salad

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 24

¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
3 tablespoons honey
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon paprika
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 lb. shrimp (16-20 or 21-25 count per lb., peeled and deveined)
5 ears of corn
3 tablespoons of olive oil or unsalted butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
zest of a lime
3 tablespoons of lime juice freshly squeezed
1 clove of garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt (make sure to adjust the level of salt based on the saltines of your feta cheese)
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 large head of Boston or butter lettuce (leaves separated, rinsed)
1 cup of cherry tomatoes
3 scallions (chopped)
1 cup of feta cheese crumbled

Steps:

  • Soak the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
  • Make the marinade: Place olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes, parsley salt, and pepper in a bowl. Give it a whisk until fully combined.
  • Place shrimp and marinade in the bowl and toss to coat. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Skewer the shrimp: Thread the shrimp on skewers starting from the thickest part of the shrimp and arranging 5-6 shrimp per skewer. Place on a plate and set aside.
  • Grill: Heat the grill to 400 to 450 F degrees. Grill the shrimp skewers on direct heat for 2-3 minutes or as soon as it turns pink along the edges and then flip over and cook for another 2 minutes or until it is lightly charred.
  • Transfer the now-cooked shrimp onto a plate. When cool enough to handle, remove the shrimp from the skewers and set aside.
  • Fold the husk of each corn back leaf by leaf and tie them with a kitchen twine.
  • Brush each ear with oil on all sides and sprinkle them with salt.
  • Grill over medium-high heat until lightly charred on all sides, brushing with oil, turning and checking every few minutes. This takes about 10-12 minutes.
  • Transfer the now-grilled corn onto a cutting board and let it cool. When cool enough to handle, cut corn kernels from the cobs. Transfer to a bowl and set it aside.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and set it aside.
  • Place butter lettuce leaves, tomatoes, scallions, corn, and shrimp in a large salad bowl. Top it off with crumbled feta cheese.
  • Drizzle it with the dressing and give it a gentle toss.
  • Serve immediately.

SHRIMP WITH CREAMED CORN AND FETA



Shrimp With Creamed Corn and Feta image

Fresh summer corn kernels, simmered with feta cheese and a little cream, make a buttery bed for shrimp sautéed in a tomato and bell pepper sauce. Think of it as a lighter, sweeter and wholly inauthentic take on shrimp and grits. If you crave this out of corn season, feel free to use frozen kernels instead.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds extra-large peeled shrimp (12 to 16 a pound)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
3 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 cups corn kernels (from 6 to 7 ears corn)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, more for serving
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 small red onions, diced
1 large poblano chile or green bell pepper, diced
2 large ripe tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Large dash of Worcestershire sauce
Dash of hot sauce, preferably Tabasco
Cilantro leaves, for serving
Basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss shrimp with salt and garlic and let rest in the refrigerator until needed (up to 2 hours).
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter with the cream over medium heat. Add corn, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring once or twice, until the corn is very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. If all the moisture evaporates before the corn is soft, add a few teaspoons water to the pan.
  • Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend corn mixture until you get a chunky purée. Mix in feta, black pepper and salt to taste. Cover and keep warm until needed.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and sauté until pale golden and soft, 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, a large pinch of salt, and a tablespoon or two of water if the pan looks dry, and sauté until the tomatoes break down and turn saucelike, about 8 minutes.
  • Add shrimp, lemon juice and Worcestershire and hot sauces. Sauté until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir remaining butter into pan and add more salt, if needed.
  • Serve corn topped with shrimp and plenty of crumbled feta. Garnish with cilantro and basil.

Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 21

For shrimp:
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano leaves
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound medium shrimp (about 35)
eight 10-inch wooden skewers
1 1/2 cups orzo (rice-shaped pasta; about 11 ounces)
1/2 pound sugar snap peas
2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes
6 scallions
1 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
For dressing:
1/2 garlic clove
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup crumbled feta (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Prepare shrimp:
  • Mince garlic and in a bowl whisk together with lemon juice, oil, oregano, pepper, and salt to taste. Shell shrimp and devein, if desired, and add to marinade, stirring to coat well. Marinate shrimp, covered and chilled, 1 hour. Prepare grill. Soak skewers in warm water 30 minutes.
  • While grill is heating, fill a 6-quart kettle three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for orzo. Trim sugar snap peas. Chop tomatoes and thinly slice white and pale green parts of scallions. Finely chop parsley.
  • Make dressing:
  • Chop garlic and in a blender blend with remaining dressing ingredients until dressing is emulsified.
  • Stir orzo into boiling water and cook until al dente. Add snap peas and cook 15 seconds. Drain pasta and peas and transfer to a large bowl. Cool pasta 5 minutes and stir in feta, tomatoes, scallions, and parsley. Add dressing to salad and toss well. Season salad with salt and pepper.
  • Thread shrimp onto skewers, discarding marinade. Grill shrimp on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, grill shrimp in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Push shrimp off skewers into salad and toss gently.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH YOGURT, FETA AND DILL



Sugar Snap Peas With Yogurt, Feta and Dill image

Much of the appeal of sugar snap peas comes from their juicy, sweet crunch, which means you'll want to take care when blanching them. They turn from perfectly crisp-tender to soft in seconds. The key is to have a bowl of salted ice water next to the stove and a slotted spoon at the ready. The salt in the ice water seasons the peas, and the ice stops them from overcooking. In this savory salad, they're tossed with a garlicky dressing for brightness, and a creamy feta-yogurt sauce for richness. Serve them with crusty bread as a summery appetizer, or as a side dish for grilled fish or meats.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for water and to taste
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed (about 3 cups)
1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 cup thinly sliced fennel, or use radish or cucumber
1/2 packed cup roughly chopped fresh dill, or use a combination of dill and fennel fronds
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (if using Greek, thin it down with milk or water until pourable)
1/2 cup crumbled feta (about 2 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Torn soft herbs, such as mint, basil, parsley, tarragon, chives, cilantro or a combination, for serving
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have ready a bowl of well-salted ice water and a slotted spoon next to the stove. Drop peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Use the spoon to transfer peas to ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • When cool enough to handle, put the peas on a cutting board and slice them in half, crosswise.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic and lemon juice. Stir in salt and pepper. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the halved peas, fennel, dill and scallions, and toss well. Taste and add more lemon juice, olive oil or salt if needed.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, 1/4 cup feta, lemon zest, and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice, to taste.
  • Spread the yogurt on a serving platter, and spoon the peas on top. Scatter remaining 1/4 cup feta on top, drizzle with more oil, and top with herbs. Serve as a side dish or scooped onto crusty bread as an appetizer.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp; they should be cooked through but still tender.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp and corn in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or tomatoes.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a flavored feta cheese, such as garlic or herb-infused feta.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This grilled shrimp, corn, and snap pea salad is a delicious and healthy summer dish. It's perfect for a cookout, potluck, or light lunch. The salad is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try.
