GRILLED SHRIMP WITH BACON, TOMATO AND SCALLION VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Shrimp with Bacon, Tomato and Scallion Vinaigrette image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces slab bacon, rind removed, cut into large dice
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for brushing
6 plum tomatoes, cored and diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
3 green onions, green and pale green parts, thinly sliced
16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, heads off

Steps:

  • Put the bacon in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered.
  • When the bacon is just about done, heat the canola oil in a nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper and cook, stirring, just until slightly softened. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the skillet with the tomatoes and add the cilantro, vinegar, thyme and green onions. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside; keep warm.
  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling.
  • Brush the shrimp with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using two skewers at a time, thread four shrimp on the skewers near the tail and head ends--this makes it easier to flip the shrimp on the grill. Grill until slightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove the shrimp from the skewers and top with the warm vinaigrette.

SPINACH SALAD WITH SHRIMP, FENNEL AND BACON-BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Spinach Salad with Shrimp, Fennel and Bacon-Balsamic Vinaigrette image

Categories     Salad     Shellfish     Tomato     Fourth of July     Father's Day     Backyard BBQ     Dinner     Lunch     Shrimp     Fennel     Spinach     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 3/4 pounds uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
12 bamboo skewers, soaked 30 minutes in water
2 fennel bulbs (about 12 ounces total), fronds chopped, bulbs cut into 1/3-inch-thick wedges
2 6-ounce packages baby spinach leaves
2 cups chopped seeded peeled tomatoes
Bacon-Balsamic Vinaigrette

Steps:

  • Mix 6 tablespoons oil, fennel seeds and crushed red pepper in small bowl. Thread shrimp onto skewers. Place on rimmed baking sheet. Pour oil mixture over; turn to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush fennel wedges with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill fennel until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to large bowl. Grill shrimp until opaque in center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to plate; tent with foil.
  • Add spinach and tomatoes to fennel. Toss with enough vinaigrette to coat. Divide salad among plates. Sprinkle with bacon reserved from vinaigrette. Remove shrimp from skewers and arrange around salad. Garnish with chopped fennel fronds.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should have a firm texture and a slightly sweet smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your shrimp salad will taste. Use good-quality mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and bacon.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Shrimp salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Shrimp salad with bacon vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With its combination of fresh shrimp, crispy bacon, and creamy vinaigrette, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
