Categories     appetizer

Time 18m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds large shrimp (16 to 20 per pound), peeled and deveined (see note)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, small-diced
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Skewer the shrimp. I use 3 or 4 shrimp on a 12-inch skewer for dinner. Heat a grill with coals and brush the grill with oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Grill the shrimp for only 1 1/2 minutes on each side.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, seasonal ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to avoid overcooking it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Chill the terrine thoroughly before serving: This will help it set properly and make it easier to slice.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and citrus zest: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

Shrimp terrine with cucumber whipped grapefruit and avocado puree is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
