16 ounces strained tomatoes
2 fennel bulbs, fronds coarsely chopped and bulbs reserved for the fennel salad
2 lemons, sliced
1 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon ground coriander
Kosher salt
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 red onion
3 cups olive oil, plus more for tossing
1 1/2 cups Champagne vinegar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cumin

  • For the shrimp skewers: Combine the strained tomatoes, fennel fronds, lemons, brown sugar, cumin, paprika, coriander and 3 tablespoons salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and allow to marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp on skewers and grill until pink and opaque throughout, 2 minutes per side.
  • For the fennel salad: Quarter the reserved fennel bulbs and onion through the roots. Toss with some olive oil in a large bowl to coat. Grill the fennel and onion, turning occasionally, until charred. Let cool slightly then chop into medium dice.
  • Combine the 3 cups olive oil, vinegar, granulated sugar, cumin and lemon zest in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the diced fennel and onion, the cucumbers, bell peppers, parsley and mint and toss to combine.
  • For serving: Divide the fennel salad among plates and top with the shrimp on the skewers.

The shrimp skewers were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the fennel salad was delicious.
