Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp (21 to 24), shelled and deveined
1 pint cherry tomatoes, trimmed
Canola oil, for brushing the skewers
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Greek extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch red pepper flakes
Clover honey, for sweetening
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, plus sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
Finely grated fresh lemon zest
8 ounces Greek feta, patted dry and crumbled
6 pita breads, warmed, for serving
Special equipment: Wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 2 hours

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Prepare a charcoal grill for high direct heat. Skewer a few shrimp onto 2 skewers so the shrimp lay flat. Do the same with the tomatoes. Brush the skewers with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tomatoes first, until slightly charred on both sides and soft, about 2 minutes each side. Reserve the shrimp skewers to the side.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the garlic and shallots until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the grilled tomatoes, wine, paprika, cinnamon, red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Crush the tomatoes with a spoon. Cook until the sauce thickens. Taste; add some honey if the tomatoes aren't sweet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir in the mint, oregano and lemon zest.
  • Grill the shrimp until just cooked through and slightly charred, about 1 1/2 minutes each side. Remove the shrimp from the skewers and add to the tomato mixture. Toss the shrimp just to coat and transfer to a platter. Top the shrimp with the feta and mint sprigs and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the pitas to dip in tomato juices.

Categories     weeknight, salads and dressings, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 limes
2 garlic cloves
1 Fresno chile, serrano or other fresh chile pepper, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound cleaned extra-large shrimp
1 pound cubed melon (about 4 cups; any kind, or a combination)
1 small cucumber, preferably Persian or kirby, thinly sliced
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion or shallot
1/3 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup chopped soft herbs, such as mint, basil or cilantro, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Light a charcoal or gas grill or heat the broiler. Make the fire as hot as it will get and, if using a broiler, put the rack close to the heat source.
  • While the grill heats up, lightly crack the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle, or with the side of a knife on a cutting board. (Careful: They can roll around.) Put them in a small dry skillet over medium heat and toast, shaking the pan once or twice until fragrant, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl.
  • Using a Microplane or other grater, grate zest from both limes straight into the bowl with coriander. Grate in the garlic (no need to wash the grater in between), then add the chile and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in oil.
  • Pat shrimp dry, then transfer to a medium bowl and season with a pinch each salt and black pepper. Give the coriander mixture a stir, then pour half of it over the shrimp, reserving the rest for the salad. Toss shrimp to coat and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
  • Cut the zested limes in half, squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice and whisk into the coriander mixture to make a dressing. Cut leftover lime into wedges.
  • Arrange the shrimp in a grill basket or on skewers (or just on a sheet pan if broiling), and grill or broil shrimp until well browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just opaque and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and squeeze a wedge of lime all over.
  • In a large bowl, combine melon, cucumber, onion, feta and herbs. Pour in coriander dressing and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt or lime juice to taste. Top melon salad with grilled shrimp and more herbs, if you'd like.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp: This will ensure that your dish is flavorful and delicious.
  • Marinate the shrimp before grilling: This will help to infuse the shrimp with flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and give them a nice smoky flavor.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink in the center.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp with feta, cilantro, and lime is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then grilled until cooked through. The feta, cilantro, and lime add a refreshing and tangy flavor to the dish. This dish can be served as an appetizer or main course, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
