GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE
Fresh wild shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico (and the Atlantic coast off the Carolinas and Georgia) are the best option for shrimp lovers. Leave them in the shell, which keeps them juicy, before threading on skewers to grill. These are seasoned only with a little salt, then served with a spicy red pepper sauce that takes cues from the Catalan romesco.

Steps:
- Prepare a hot charcoal grill. Lay peppers directly on the grill and let them blister, turning frequently until blackened all over, about 8 minutes. Set aside on a plate until cool enough to handle. (Alternatively, roast peppers on the stovetop, directly on the flames of a gas burner.)
- Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Cut off stems, scrape away skins and seeds, and discard. Do not rinse; a bit of char is OK. Chop the peppers into 2-inch chunks.
- With a food processor or blender, whirl together peppers, almonds, pimentón, cayenne and garlic to form a rough paste. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly add olive oil to achieve the consistency of a thick milkshake. Taste, adjust seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, boil potatoes in well-salted water until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Place onion pieces on the grill skin-side down. Salt lightly. Cover with lid and cook until onions are soft, about 15 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- Place boiled potatoes on grill and cook until slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, thread shrimp onto skewers, 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, without crowding. (If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning.) Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Lay skewers on grill over hot coals. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until shrimp turn pink and are a bit charred, 3 minutes more
- Arrange shrimp, potatoes and onions on a large platter. Serve with the red pepper sauce and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals on two-thirds of grill and scatter remaining coals over remaining area; for a gas grill, set one burner to medium-low heat and the remaining burners to medium-high heat).
- Make the Sour Cream Sauce
- Purée sour cream, cilantro, mayonnaise, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a blender until smooth; chill until ready to use.
- Do Ahead: Sour cream sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
- Make the Dressing
- Whisk oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, honey, and salt in a large bowl.
- Grill and Assemble
- Toss shrimp, chili powder, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
- Grill cabbage wedges over direct heat, turning occasionally, until deeply charred on cut surfaces and crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, grill sausages over indirect heat, turning often, until nicely charred and cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Lightly oil grill grate. Place asparagus onto grill, orienting them perpendicular to grate so they don't fall through the gaps. Grill, turning often, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to platter alongside sausages, leaving remaining dressing in bowl.
- Oil grate again if needed, then grill shrimp over direct heat, turning often, until lightly charred and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to platter with sausage.
- Slice charred cabbage wedges lengthwise into 1/4"-thick strips, then toss with remaining dressing; season with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Add to platter.
- Serve with lime wedges and sour cream sauce alongside.

Steps:
- Using a meat mallet, pound the skirt steak out thinly. Cut the steak into 1-1/2 inch strips and skewer on wooden skewers. Skewer the shrimp in a similar fashion on additional skewers. Each skewer should contain only a single piece of food to be grilled.
- Cut the sausage into diagonal slices and also skewer. Place the skewered meats onto platters and lightly marinate in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Marinate not longer than overnight.
- Prepare the chimichurri dipping sauce:
- Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a large bowl, mix well and set aside. Make the chimichurri well in advance of cooking. (It can be prepared 3 days in advance and kept refrigerated for up to a week.)
- Prepare a medium-hot fire on a well-oiled outdoor grill or indoor stove-top grill pan. Carefully drain all excess oil from the skewered meats and fish, and season with salt and pepper. Cook each skewered anticucho for 2-3 minutes or until charred and fully cooked.
- Serve the anticuchos on a platter, drizzle chimichurri over the top or serve separately.
Tips:
- For the best grilling experience, use large, fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- If you don't have chorizo, you can use another type of spicy sausage, such as andouille or kielbasa.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the skewers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce, chimichurri sauce, or a simple lemon-herb vinaigrette.
