Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lb shrimp, deveined & tails removed
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
24 skewers, bamboo or metal
4 tablespoons olive oil
24 corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
1 teaspoon lime zest
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 ½ cups green cabbage
1 ½ cups red cabbage
1 tablespoon jalapeño, minced
lime wedge
fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
  • Using 2 bamboo or metal skewers, poke through the top and bottom of the shrimp and push down to the bottom of the skewer.
  • Add 3 more shrimp to the same skewer and repeat until all of the shrimp are used.
  • Right before you put the shrimp on the grill, brush each skewer with a generous amount of olive oil, to prevent sticking.
  • Grill over high heat for 3 minutes, brush the top side with more olive oil, flip, and let cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Remove from skewers & set aside for taco assembly.
  • In a bowl, combine all creamy cilantro sauce ingredients. Stir well to combine.

Garlic Butter Shrimp with Cilantro and Lime image

Garlic shrimp cooked in a creamy cilantro lime butter sauce. Serve this as an appetizer, with pasta, over rice or in tortillas for tacos. The recipe is easy to adapt. Swap lime for lemon and try other tender herbs like parsley, dill, basil or tarragon in place of cilantro.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Categories     appetizer, main meal

Time 20m

Yield Makes 1 pound shrimp (16 to 20 shrimp, depending on size)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled with tails left on and deveined
1 lime plus a few extra wedges for serving
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic, about 6 cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, optional
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp dry then season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • Use a microplane to zest the lime and set aside. Cut the zested lime in half ready for the sauce later in the recipe.
  • Add one tablespoon of the butter to a wide skillet. Save the remaining two tablespoons for later.
  • Place the skillet with butter over medium heat then add the garlic and coriander. Stir the garlic around the pan until the butter melts and is bubbling; about 1 minute.
  • Add the shrimp, nestling them into the pan so that they are in one layer. A few shrimp stacked on top of each other is okay. Cook until the shrimp start to turn pink, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the scallions and lime zest. Continue to cook, stirring, until the shrimp are firm and opaque throughout; another 1 to 2 minutes. Slide the skillet off of the heat.
  • With the skillet off of the heat, add the cilantro, juice from the lime and the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Stir the butter around the pan so that it melts into the lime juice making the creamy butter sauce.
  • Taste then season as needed with salt and pepper. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
  • Devein and peel the shrimp before cooking. This will make them easier to eat.
  • Marinate the shrimp in the cilantro sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help the shrimp to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium heat. High heat will cause the shrimp to cook too quickly and become tough.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp should be cooked until they are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with the cilantro sauce. The shrimp can also be served over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This shrimp in cilantro sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are tender and flavorful, and the cilantro sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
