GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

GRILLED MARINATED SHRIMP SKEWERS
The secret to this outstanding shrimp is the tomato paste and seasoned salt, you can double the complete recipe but keep the fresh garlic at 2 tablespoons. Plan ahead the shrimp will need to marinade for 2 hours, but no more than that or the acid in the fresh lemon juice will start to "cook" the shrimp!

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS
Steps:
- Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
- Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.

Steps:
- Blend lime juice, curry powder, cumin, sugar, ginger, scallions, garlic, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a blender or a food processor. With machine running, add oil in a slow, steady stream to form a paste.
- Cut shrimp along back (through shells) using kitchen scissors, and devein. Loosen shells from flesh using your fingers, keeping shells attached. Gently open each shell, and push some curry paste underneath to coat backs; put shells back in place. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Soak 10 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-high. Let shrimp stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Thread 2 shrimp onto each skewer. Grill until shells are charred on one side, about 3 1/2 minutes. Flip, and cook until opaque, about 2 1/2 minutes more.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. Look for large, fresh shrimp with a firm texture and no off-odors. Avoid shrimp that is frozen or has been treated with chemicals.
- Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor the shrimp.
- Skewer the shrimp. Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the shrimp. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Grill the shrimp. Grill the shrimp over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough.
- Serve the shrimp. Serve the grilled shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
