GRILLED SHRIMP ON BUTTER LETTUCE

Categories     Salad     Shellfish     Tomato     Low Carb     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Dinner     Lunch     Salad Dressing     Avocado     Spring     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb peeled and deveined shrimp (20-30 ct.)
1/4 c. Justy's Pineapple Jalapeño jelly
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 c.water
1 c. halved cherry, grape, yellow pear tomatoes (or any small tomatoes you have)
1-2 medium avocados, cut into chunks
1 head of living butter lettuce (found in most grocery stores)
juice of 1/2 lemon
bamboo skewers
1 pineapple (optional)

Steps:

  • I like to buy the deveined and peeled shrimp (I'm lazy, I guess), but if you have the time and patience, the unpeeled shrimp is less expensive. To start, I combine in a bowl 1/8 of a cup of Justy's Jelly with about 1/8th cup of water and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix this up well. Add the shrimp to the mixture, stirring it up to make sure everything is well coated. Cover it with plastic and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes, longer if you can. Once you can't wait any longer, heat up your grill! Take a moment and pull off leaves from the Living Lettuce head. Rinse them off and create a "bowl" of lettuce on the plates. Now, make the second half of your mixture. Mix another 1/8 cup of Jelly with the juice of 1/2 a lemon and 1/8 cup water. Mix this well, then add your tomatoes and avocados. Toss this lightly. Now skewer your shrimp on bamboo skewers, placing them on a medium temperature grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. I like to skewer pineapple chunks as well, giving the dish a little bit of a tropical flare to go along with the Pineapple Jalapeño jelly. I put them on the grill first, then take them off last. As the shrimp is finishing, spoon the tomato and avocado mixture into center of lettuce bowl. Pull the shrimp off the grill and slide the shrimp off the skewers and on top of the tomato/avacado mixture. Squeeze a little lemon juice, and maybe a little of the dressing left over from the tomato/avocado mixture on top. Finally, add a skewer of pineapple alongside and you're finished! This is my favorite summer meal. Light and tasty, it is satisfying on a hot evening. I hope you try it, and let me know what you think! See more on http://www.WellKrafted.com

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small bunch fresh Italian parsley, stemmed and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound fresh medium shrimp - shells on, rinsed, and patted dry
bamboo skewers
1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry's®), or to taste
½ cup salted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Place parsley and olive oil into a resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Soak skewers in water during the last 30 minutes or so.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove shrimp from the marinade and thread onto skewers. Season generously with seasoned salt. Place parsley and remaining marinade in a grill-safe pan with butter and garlic.
  • Grill skewers until shrimp are pink and firm, about 3 minutes per side. In the meantime, place the grill pan on the grate; melt and simmer the butter-parsley mixture until butter is just golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp from skewers and drop into the butter-parsley mixture. Toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use large shrimp. Extra-large (21 to 25 per pound) or jumbo (16 to 20 per pound) shrimp are best for grilling because they won't overcook as quickly as smaller shrimp.
  • Clean and devein the shrimp. To clean the shrimp, rinse them under cold water and remove the shells. To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut down the back of each shrimp and remove the dark vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper will help them to stay moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Skewer the shrimp. Skewering the shrimp will help to keep them from falling through the grill grates. You can use wooden or metal skewers.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Grilled shrimp are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for summer cookouts, but they can also be enjoyed year-round. With a few simple tips, you can grill the perfect shrimp every time.
