Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 c basil, fresh
2 Tbsp oregano, fresh
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 garlic cloves, halved
2 1/2 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 lb shrimp, large and peeled
cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Start by pre-soaking your wooden skewers. If using metal or broiling you can skip this obviously...
  • 2. Combine first five ingredients in food processor; pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped.
  • 3. Add olive oil and process until well blended.
  • 4. Combine herb mixture and shrimp in a large zip lock bag and toss to coat.
  • 5. Marinate shrimp in fridge for 30 minutes. Marinating any longer than 1 hr. can result in rubbery shrimp.
  • 6. Go and pre-heat your grill, use upper rack if you have one. If broiling go ahead and start pre-heating your oven.
  • 7. Remove shrimp from bag and thread onto skewers, you should have at least 6 shrimp to a skewer.
  • 8. Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill three minutes on each side or until done. Make sure and DO NOT over cook, or you will have dry, chewy shrimp.
  • 9. I like to serve these with flavored rice and a salad. Enjoy !

HERB-MARINATED SHRIMP

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer

Yield 8 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Herbed Olive Oil Marinade (on Epicurious.com in Craig's recipe box)
2 lbs. medium-sized to large shrimp or prawns either in the shells or peeled and deveined.
Vegetable oil for brushing grill basket
Creole Mustard Sauce (on Epicurious.com in Craig's recipe box)

Steps:

  • Prepare the marinade in a large, shallow non-ractive container. Add the shrimp or prawns and turn to coat evenly. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 3 hours. Prepare the grill for hot, direct-heat cooking. When the fire is ready, remove the shrimp or prawns and reserve the marinade. I use a grill basket to prevent shrimp from falling between the grates of the grill. Cook, turning once and brushing frequently with the reserved marinade, until the shell turns bright pink and the meat is just opaque, about 6-8 minutes total cooking time. Serve hot or warm with the Creole Mustard Sauce.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds extra-large (U-10) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 bunch each marjoram, oregano, thyme and parsley, roughly chopped
1 bunch each marjoram, oregano, thyme and parsley, roughly chopped
3 lemons, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil
3 heads cauliflower (1 purple, 1 Romanesco, 1 yellow)
1/2 cup honey
2 1/4 cups sparkling wine
One 4-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
1 pound kumquats, sliced into thirds
3 bunches watercress
1 bulb fennel, fronds only, chopped
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
4 tablespoons fennel pollen
Olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the herbs, lemon zest and juice, 1 tablespoon of the smoked paprika, some salt and pepper and enough canola oil to coat lightly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Thread the shrimp lengthwise onto soaked wooden skewers, straightening the shrimp as you go. Grill until the shrimp are grill-marked and opaque throughout, 3 minutes per side.
  • Cut the cauliflower into 1/2-inch-thick slices, making sure to cut through the main stem so the slices stay intact. Oil the slices generously, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon smoked paprika.
  • In a VERY HOT nonstick skillet, sear the cauliflower "steaks" in enough canola oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once each side is golden brown, transfer to a baking sheet and roast until al dente.
  • In a saucepan, combine the honey, sparkling wine and ginger and bring to a simmer. Add the kumquats and cook over low heat until jammy. Cool and reserve.
  • Clean the watercress and then toss with the fennel fronds, sherry vinegar, fennel pollen and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Plate all elements and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the shrimp for the full 30 minutes, even a quick 15-minute marinade will help to infuse them with flavor.
  • Be sure to pat the shrimp dry before cooking them so that they will brown evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat so that they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Herb-marinated shrimp are a quick and easy appetizer or main course that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy seafood recipe, give herb-marinated shrimp a try!
