Grilling jicama brings out its natural sweetness, but be careful not to overcook it, or it will lose its crunch.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 jalapeno chile, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails intact)
1 small jicama (about 2 pounds) peeled, sliced 1/2 inch thick, and cut into triangles
5 cups torn chicory (from 1 head)
3 cups torn green oak lettuce or other green lettuce (from 1 head)
5 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced diagonally
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 jalapeno chile, seeded and thinly sliced (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • For the kebabs: Puree oil, lime zest and juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, and salt in a blender or food processor. Combine marinade and shrimp. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 or 4 seconds.) Thread shrimp onto 6 skewers. Discard marinade. Thread jicama onto 6 more skewers. Grill shrimp until opaque and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill jicama for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
  • Make the salad: Toss together chicory, green oak lettuce, scallions, apple, radishes, and jalapeno if desired. Toss in lime juice, oil, and salt. Divide shrimp and jicama skewers and salad among plates, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm, plump, and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are brown or have black spots.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and devein them if necessary. To devein a shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs adds flavor and helps to keep the shrimp moist while cooking.
  • Skewer the shrimp. Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the shrimp. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium heat. Cook the shrimp over medium heat until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Serve the shrimp hot off the grill with lemon wedges and cilantro for garnish.

Conclusion:

Martha Stewart's shrimp kabobs with lemon and cilantro are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The shrimp are served with lemon wedges and cilantro for garnish. These kabobs are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
