GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CHARMOULA

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving tail fin intact. Place in large zipper bag.
• Combine all other ingredients in a bowl, whisking to blend. Pour 1/2 the marinade over the shrimp. Seal bag, and marinate, refrigerated, for 1-2 hours.
• Prepare grill or preheat broiler.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade, discarding marinade, and thread on skewers. If planning to serve on the skewer, estimate 6 shrimp per serving. Using double skewers will make it easier to turn the shrimp. Grill or broil until done, turning once - approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
• Serve with reserved marinade as a sauce.

Steps:

• Cook the fries according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to a bowl along with the olive oil and toss. Sprinkle the shrimp with the steak seasoning. Grill the shrimp until plump and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the grill, then add them to a bowl. Toss with the half of the chimichurri sauce. Set aside.
• Place the naan breads on the grill to warm and slightly char, about a minute per side.
• To build, divide and spread the aioli on the grilled naan. Divide the arugula, avocado, tomatoes and pickled onions between the two. Top with the shrimp, fries and remaining chimichurri.
• Lay two pieces of foil, slightly longer than the longest side of the naans, out on the counter. Place the naans so that two-thirds is on the foil and one-third is on the counter. Roll the naans from left to right and wrap the foil around the bottoms to keep the wraps neatly rolled.
• Serve immediately.
