1 small onion, quartered
1 jalapeno, quartered, seeds optional
1 garlic clove, smashed
4 medium tomatillos, (about 8 ounces) husked, rinsed, and coarsely chopped
1/2 Hass avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chipotle or blended chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound medium shrimp (about 20), peeled and deveined
8 corn tortillas
8 sprigs cilantro for garnish
2 limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Put the onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor and finely chop. Add the tomatillos, avocado, and salt and pulse until chopped but still chunky. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro.
  • Heat a stovetop or outdoor grill to medium-high. Mix the olive oil, chipotle or chili powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Grill the shrimp until translucent, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SALSA VERDE



Grilled Shrimp With Salsa Verde image

The sauce in this recipe is ubiquitous along Italy's western coast, where I ate it spooned over a thinly sliced fish steak titled Pesce Spada alla Griglia. It is best enjoyed when the freshest seafood and produce are available. The sauce can be made in advance and the shrimp broiled or grilled just before the meal. From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Yield Makes 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemons, 1 juiced (2 1/2 tablespoons), 1 cut in 6 wedges for garnish
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
24 jumbo shrimp, peeled (about 3 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mince together the garlic, capers, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mint, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, and red-wine vinegar.
  • Preheat the broiler or prepare a grill. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing down the center of each, lengthwise, almost but not completely through. Open both sides to lay flat. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Broil or grill for 2 minutes per side. Place 4 shrimp on each plate and spoon some of the sauce over them. Serve with lemon.

BAKED 'PAELLA' WITH SHRIMP, CHORIZO AND SALSA VERDE



Baked 'Paella' With Shrimp, Chorizo and Salsa Verde image

This nontraditional recipe features the ultimate paella cheat: The dish cooks in the oven, as opposed to being actively monitored on the stovetop over a flame. Cooking it this way won't get you the familiar socarrat on the bottom of the skillet, but the wonderfully crispy bits that develop at the edges of the roasting pan are delightful in their own way.

Categories     grains and rice, seafood, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

9 tablespoons/135 milliliters olive oil
1/2 packed cup/30 grams chopped fresh parsley
2 mild red or green chiles, such as Anaheim chiles, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
7 garlic cloves, 2 roughly chopped and 5 thinly sliced lengthwise
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/3 pounds/600 grams whole, shell-on tiger or jumbo shrimp (prawns)
3/4 pound/340 grams boneless, skinless halibut fillet, cut into 6 equal pieces
2 lemons, 1 squeezed to get 1 1/2 tablespoons juice and 1 cut into 6 wedges
1/2 pound/225 grams fresh chorizo, casing discarded and chorizo roughly crumbled
2 large vine tomatoes (14 ounces/400 grams), roughly grated and skins discarded
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 5 ounces/150 grams)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
14 ounces/400 grams bomba rice
10 ounces/285 grams jarred or canned artichoke hearts marinated in oil, drained and halved
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, then cut into 1/2-inch/1-centimeter strips
1 1/4 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
1 teaspoon saffron threads
3 1/4 cups/780 milliliters fish stock, warmed
2 cups/480 milliliters hot water

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/230 degrees Celsius.
  • Add 6 tablespoons/90 milliliters oil, the parsley, half the chile, the roughly chopped garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a grind of pepper to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Scrape half the salsa verde into a medium bowl and reserve the remaining salsa verde.
  • Keeping the heads and tails intact, remove and discard the shrimp shells and transfer the head-on shrimp into the medium bowl with the salsa verde. Add the halibut, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper to the bowl with the shrimp and gently toss to combine. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill while you continue with the rest.
  • Add the chorizo, tomatoes, onion, tomato paste and the remaining sliced garlic, chile and 3 tablespoons oil to a large (about 15-by-10 inches/40-by-28 centimeters), deep metal roasting pan and toss to coat. Transfer to the oven and cook until sauce is thickened and browned at the edges, stirring once halfway through, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir the rice, artichokes, bell pepper, paprika, saffron, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a good grind of pepper into the pan. Pour in the stock and hot water and stir well to combine. Cover with foil and return to the oven until the rice is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees Fahrenheit/260 degrees Celsius.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, remove the foil and top with the marinated shrimp and halibut, gently pushing them into the rice without mixing it around too much. Return to the oven, uncovered, until the shrimp and halibut have cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon the reserved salsa verde over the paella. Serve warm, with the lemon wedges alongside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shrimp, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro will give your salsa verde its best flavor. If you can't find fresh cilantro, you can substitute 1/4 cup of dried cilantro.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Make the salsa verde ahead of time: The salsa verde can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Serve the shrimp with your favorite sides: Shrimp in salsa verde can be served with rice, pasta, or vegetables. It's also a great option for tacos or burritos.

Conclusion:

Shrimp in salsa verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The bright flavors of the salsa verde complement the shrimp perfectly, and the dish can be served with a variety of sides. Next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood recipe, give shrimp in salsa verde a try. You won't be disappointed!
