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

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 SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE



Grilled Shrimp Skewers With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce image

Fresh wild shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico (and the Atlantic coast off the Carolinas and Georgia) are the best option for shrimp lovers. Leave them in the shell, which keeps them juicy, before threading on skewers to grill. These are seasoned only with a little salt, then served with a spicy red pepper sauce that takes cues from the Catalan romesco.

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large red bell peppers
3/4 cup whole toasted almonds (see Tip)
1 teaspoon pimentón (smoked Spanish paprika)
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
3 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving
1 1/2 pounds very small potatoes, unpeeled
3 medium red onions, unpeeled and quartered
Salt
1 1/2 to 2 pounds fresh Gulf shrimp, or use frozen
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot charcoal grill. Lay peppers directly on the grill and let them blister, turning frequently until blackened all over, about 8 minutes. Set aside on a plate until cool enough to handle. (Alternatively, roast peppers on the stovetop, directly on the flames of a gas burner.)
  • Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Cut off stems, scrape away skins and seeds, and discard. Do not rinse; a bit of char is OK. Chop the peppers into 2-inch chunks.
  • With a food processor or blender, whirl together peppers, almonds, pimentón, cayenne and garlic to form a rough paste. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly add olive oil to achieve the consistency of a thick milkshake. Taste, adjust seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl.
  • In a medium saucepan, boil potatoes in well-salted water until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Place onion pieces on the grill skin-side down. Salt lightly. Cover with lid and cook until onions are soft, about 15 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Place boiled potatoes on grill and cook until slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, thread shrimp onto skewers, 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, without crowding. (If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning.) Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  • Lay skewers on grill over hot coals. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until shrimp turn pink and are a bit charred, 3 minutes more
  • Arrange shrimp, potatoes and onions on a large platter. Serve with the red pepper sauce and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh sage leaves. If you don't have fresh sage, you can substitute dried sage, but use half the amount.
  • To make sure the shrimp cooks evenly, use shrimp that are all the same size.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked just until they turn opaque and pink.
  • 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 burning.
  • Serve the shrimp skewers with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include lemon-herb butter, ranch dressing, or tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Sage shrimp skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a summer cookout or party.
