Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tsp kosher salt
½ c. firmly packed fresh parsley
½ c. firmly packed fresh cilantro
3 tbsp fresh oregano
6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small shallot (finely minced)
⅓ c red wine vinegar
½ c extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice from a fresh lemon
½ tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat, then set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes while you prepare the chimichurri sauce.
  • Chimichurri (by hand): finely chop the parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, and shallot. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice until emulsified. Add the chopped herbs and alliums, as well as the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Chimichurri (food processor): combine the parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, and shallot in a food processor. Pulse until the herbs and alliums are finely chopped. Add the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse 5-10 times more, or until well combined. Flip the motor to process and pour in the olive oil through the feed tube until the ingredients form a sauce. Makes about 1.5 cups.
  • Skewer the shrimp onto 2 skewers, alternating heads and tails, and keeping them tightly packed.
  • Heat a grill to high (450°F). Rub the grates with the cut side of a potato to prevent sticking, or brush with olive oil.
  • Arrange the skewers on the grill in a single layer. Grill 2 minutes with the lid open, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes more or until cooked through. The shrimp are cooked through the moment they turn pink and are completely opaque. The ideal temperature is 120°F.
  • Drizzle the shrimp with chimichurri sauce and serve immediately.

Grilled Chimichurri Shrimp Wraps image

Packed with parsley, garlic and vinegar, chimichurri is easy to make at home. Having a store-bought version of the Argentinian and Uruguayan condiment on hand makes these mash-up wraps even more convenient. Here, Ree tosses grilled shrimp in the herby sauce, then folds them into Indian naan filled with avocado, pickled red onion and arugula. For a final crowd-pleasing touch, she tucks crispy french fries directly into the wraps.

Time 40m

Yield 2 wraps

Number Of Ingredients 11

Half a 15-ounce bag frozen french fries
1 pound 16-20 shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon steak seasoning
1 cup chimichurri sauce
2 roasted garlic naan breads
1/3 cup roasted garlic aioli
1 cup arugula
1 avocado, diced
1 vine-ripened tomato, diced
1/2 cup jarred pickled red onion

Steps:

  • Cook the fries according to the package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to a bowl along with the olive oil and toss. Sprinkle the shrimp with the steak seasoning. Grill the shrimp until plump and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the grill, then add them to a bowl. Toss with the half of the chimichurri sauce. Set aside.
  • Place the naan breads on the grill to warm and slightly char, about a minute per side.
  • To build, divide and spread the aioli on the grilled naan. Divide the arugula, avocado, tomatoes and pickled onions between the two. Top with the shrimp, fries and remaining chimichurri.
  • Lay two pieces of foil, slightly longer than the longest side of the naans, out on the counter. Place the naans so that two-thirds is on the foil and one-third is on the counter. Roll the naans from left to right and wrap the foil around the bottoms to keep the wraps neatly rolled.
  • Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound skirt steak
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled
1 pound chorizo sausage
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Wooden skewers-soaked in hot water
For the chimichurri dipping sauce:
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
1 small bunch flat leaf parsley, picked and chopped (1 cup loose leaves)
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 clove fresh garlic, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Using a meat mallet, pound the skirt steak out thinly. Cut the steak into 1-1/2 inch strips and skewer on wooden skewers. Skewer the shrimp in a similar fashion on additional skewers. Each skewer should contain only a single piece of food to be grilled.
  • Cut the sausage into diagonal slices and also skewer. Place the skewered meats onto platters and lightly marinate in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Marinate not longer than overnight.
  • Prepare the chimichurri dipping sauce:
  • Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a large bowl, mix well and set aside. Make the chimichurri well in advance of cooking. (It can be prepared 3 days in advance and kept refrigerated for up to a week.)
  • Prepare a medium-hot fire on a well-oiled outdoor grill or indoor stove-top grill pan. Carefully drain all excess oil from the skewered meats and fish, and season with salt and pepper. Cook each skewered anticucho for 2-3 minutes or until charred and fully cooked.
  • Serve the anticuchos on a platter, drizzle chimichurri over the top or serve separately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Large shrimp (21-25 count per pound) are best for grilling. Smaller shrimp can overcook easily.
  • Skewer the shrimp. This will help keep them from falling through the grates of the grill.
  • Marinate the shrimp. This will help them stay moist and flavorful. A simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is a good option.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium heat. This will help prevent them from overcooking.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and slightly charred. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as chimichurri, cocktail sauce, or tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your grilled shrimp is perfectly cooked and flavorful. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
