Ginger Shrimp with Charred Tomato Relish image

This flavorful skewered shrimp is bathed in grilled tomato relish for a stunning combination.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons grated peeled ginger (2-inch piece)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grill
20 extra-large shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled, deveined, tails left on
4 ripe plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 medium green tomatoes, halved lengthwise
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 lime)
1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno pepper (with seeds)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped basil

Steps:

  • Soak 20 skewers in a pan of water for 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together garlic and ginger. Transfer half of the mixture to a large bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons oil. Add the shrimp, toss until evenly coated, and then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cover remaining garlic-ginger mixture and refrigerate.
  • Heat grill to hot; lightly oil grates. In a medium bowl toss plum and green tomatoes with remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill tomatoes, cut side up, until skins are charred and flesh is tender, 4 to 6 minutes for the plum tomatoes, 8 to 10 minutes for the green tomatoes (if the green tomatoes are very hard, this may take longer). Be careful as you grill, as the juice from the tomatoes and the oil on their surface may cause flare-ups.
  • When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, remove and discard skins and seeds. Finely chop flesh and add to bowl with reserved garlic-ginger mixture. Add lime juice, jalapeno, sugar, cilantro, and basil.
  • Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Thread shrimp, lengthwise, onto prepared skewers (going through tail and top of shrimp), one shrimp per skewer. Grill until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 2 minutes per side.
  • To serve, place skewered shrimp on a platter with a bowl of the relish.

TUNISIAN SHAKSHUKA WITH SHRIMP



Tunisian Shakshuka With Shrimp image

The Arabic word shakshuka loosely translates to "all mixed up" in English, and rightly so, as the dish usually includes a colorful array of ingredients that are traditionally served in a cast-iron skillet. Made with eggs poached in a bright, peppery tomato sauce, it is a staple of Tunisian home cooking. Shrimp shakshuka is popular on the Mediterranean Coast, where shrimp are fresh and plentiful, but you could substitute merguez or skip the protein entirely for a vegetarian option. It is easy to make and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, one pot, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 3 teaspoons)
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 large beefsteak tomatoes, diced
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon harissa paste
1/2 teaspoon ras el hanout
1/2 teaspoon ground caraway
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 cup warm water
4 large eggs
Toasted baguette, for serving
Kalamata olives, Calabrese peppers and cornichons, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium. Add 1 teaspoon garlic and sauté until tender, about 1 minute. Add shrimp to pan, season with salt and pepper and sauté until shrimp turns pink all over, 4 to 5 minutes, then set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the onion and the rest of the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring frequently, until onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bell pepper, tomato paste and harissa to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Add the ras el hanout, caraway, coriander and 1/2 cup warm water and stir to thoroughly combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  • Set the shrimp on top of the sauce, spacing evenly apart, and using a spoon, make shallow craters in the tomato mixture for the eggs. Crack the eggs into the craters, cover, and let simmer 6 to 8 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your liking. Serve with warm baguette, and olives, pickled peppers and cornichons, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the relish will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and flavorful herbs.
  • Choose the right type of shrimp. For this recipe, small to medium shrimp are best. Avoid using large shrimp, as they can be tough.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Make the relish ahead of time. The relish can be made up to 3 days in advance. This makes it a great option for parties or potlucks.
  • Serve the relish chilled. The relish is best served chilled. This helps to bring out the flavors of the tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs.
