GRILLED SHRIMP WITH HONEY-GINGER BARBECUE SAUCE
Of all the ways to prepare shrimp, the grill delivers the best flavor. Although unadorned "shrimp on the barbie" are great, an easily assembled gingery barbecue sauce makes them that much better. You can save time by buying already shelled and deveined shrimp, but our recipe developer, Alexis Touchet, who grew up in shrimp country in southwest Louisiana, thinks shell-on shrimp are better quality. Depending on where you live and what's in your market, you may not have much choice. Freshness trumps all, so don't hesitate to use your nose in deciding which shrimp to buy.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP
This Mark Bittman recipe from 1999 is big on flavor, but not too much effort. The hardest part is preparing the grill. It calls for just a few spices - garlic, lemon, paprika and cayenne - to yield an intense flavor. Feel free to adjust the cayenne to taste, and pay close attention to your paprika: For best results, make sure it's fresh. If it doesn't taste vibrant and smoky, it's time to buy more.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the almonds on a small rimmed baking sheet, and toast until golden (but not browned), and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Cool, and set aside. Reserve a scant 1/4 cup for garnish.
- In a saucepan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium heat; add onion, garlic, and chiles. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the jar of a blender. Set the saucepan aside. Add the almonds, tomatillos, radish leaves, 1/2 cup cilantro, parsley, and 1 cup stock. Blend until smooth.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to the saucepan, and place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add the puree. Cook, stirring, until mixture darkens slightly and thickens considerably, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 cups stock, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Working in batches, return sauce to the jar of a blender, and puree until very smooth, keeping blender cap covered with a clean kitchen towel to avoid splattering. Return to saucepan, and season with salt.
- Just before serving, turn oven on to lowest setting. Season shrimp generously with salt, tossing to coat evenly. In a large heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add half the shrimp in a single layer. Cook until milky white underneath, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn, and cook 1 minute more; do not overcook. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cilantro, and toss to combine. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining shrimp and cilantro, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
- Roughly chop reserved almonds. Ladle a portion of the sauce onto each of six warm dinner plates. Arrange shrimp over sauce, and garnish with a few leaves of parsley and a sprinkling of reserved almonds. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use large shrimp: This will make them easier to skewer and eat.
- Devein and peel the shrimp: This will help them cook evenly and make them more enjoyable to eat.
- Marinate the shrimp: This will add flavor and help them stay moist during cooking.
- Skewer the shrimp: Use metal or wooden skewers that are long enough to hold the shrimp securely.
- Cook the shrimp over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without overcooking.
- Serve the shrimp with a dipping sauce: This will add extra flavor and allow your guests to customize their meal.
