GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     appetizer

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon Calabrian chile flakes
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, plus for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra-large (16 to 20 per pound) shrimp, shelled and deveined, tail-on

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
  • Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.

GRILLED MOJITO-LIME SHRIMP SKEWERS



Grilled Mojito-Lime Shrimp Skewers image

Seafood belongs on your grill: These shrimp kebabs get a tropical citrusy kick from the marinade, and a fresh and crunchy finish from the toasted coconut, cilantro and peanut topping.

Provided by Roger Mooking

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 1.06-ounce package mojito-lime marinade mix, such as McCormick® Grill Mates® Mojito Lime Marinade
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons apple cider or white wine vinegar
2 pounds extra-large peeled and deveined shrimp, tail-on
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup salted roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
2 limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mojito-lime marinade mix, oil, vinegar and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Remove 3 tablespoons of the marinade and reserve for basting. Add the shrimp to the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a grill for high heat.
  • Put the coconut in a small flameproof skillet on the grill and cook, shaking frequently, until the coconut is toasted in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the toasted coconut to a clean plate lined with paper towels and allow to cool. Set aside.
  • Skewer the shrimp: Thread a skewer through a shrimp, then thread it through a second shrimp, alternating the direction so the tail end of the second shrimp is directly above the head end of the first shrimp. Repeat with 4 additional shrimp on the same skewer, alternating the direction each time. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and skewers so you have 8 skewers of shrimp.
  • Tear off 2 large pieces of aluminum foil and fold each into a long rectangle. Arrange on the grill about 12 inches apart. Lay the skewers on the grill so that the exposed wood end tips of the skewers are resting on the foil (this will keep the skewers from burning). Grill until the undersides of the shrimp are pink and charred in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the skewers over and baste with the reserved marinade. Grill until the undersides are pink and charred in spots, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.
  • Add the cilantro and peanuts to the coconut and toss to combine. Sprinkle the mixture over the shrimp and serve with the lime wedges.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh limes and rosemary. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
  • If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers. Just be sure to soak the metal skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using, to prevent them from rusting.
  • To make sure the shrimp are cooked evenly, skewer them lengthwise. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skewers. Leave a little space between each shrimp so that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium heat. This will help prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Serve the shrimp skewers immediately, while they are still hot. You can serve them with a dipping sauce, such as a lime-rosemary vinaigrette or a garlic-herb butter.

Conclusion:

This lime-rosemary shrimp skewers recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy meal. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the lime-rosemary marinade gives them a bright and flavorful taste. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a summer cookout.
