FIVE-INGREDIENT GRILLED SHRIMP-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium, about 350 to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse the tops of the mushrooms briefly under running water, rubbing off any debris, and pat dry. Gently remove the gills with a spoon (the gills are edible, but their dark shade can muck up the color of the filling). Pluck off the stems, trim the bottom of the stems, and reserve. Trim the rims of the mushrooms with kitchen shears, for a straighter edge. Reserve scraps. Place mushroom caps on a plate.
• Slice finely slice enough of the green scallion tops to equal 2 tablespoons and reserve for garnish. Place the remaining white and green scallion parts in a large food processor and pulse to chop. Add the mushroom stems and scraps, shrimp, lemon zest and juice, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pulse until the shrimp is nearly ground, with some small pieces remaining.
• Brush the mushroom tops with oil, turn them over, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Divide the shrimp mixture equally among the mushrooms and smooth with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with salt.
• Lightly oil the area of the grill that you will be using. Grill the stuffed mushrooms until the shrimp centers turn white and firm when pressed gently and the mushrooms are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the mushrooms to rest a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve with lemon wedges.

5-INGREDIENT SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Put the shrimp shells and tails, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium saucepan. Cover with 7 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Strain the shrimp broth into a large liquid measuring cup. Discard the shells and garlic. You should be left with 6 cups of broth. If the broth reduced more, just supplement with a little extra water to yield 6 cups. Add the broth back into the empty saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
• Heat a large straight-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add the chopped shrimp and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining 3 cloves of garlic and set aside. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon of oil if the skillet is too dry, then add the sliced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in the arborio rice until coated with the oil. Add the lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has been mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.
• Ladle 1 cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes; you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center.
• Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente and creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. If you run out of broth before the risotto is at its desired doneness, add some water.
• Stir in the arugula, shrimp and half of the lemon zest and cook until the arugula wilts slightly.
• Serve topped with the remaining lemon zest.

GRILLED MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reserve a small amount for basting later. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag with shrimp. Seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium-low heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp for 5 minutes per side, or until opaque, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• In a small bowl, crush the garlic with the salt. Mix in cayenne pepper and paprika, and then stir in olive oil and lemon juice to form a paste. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with garlic paste until evenly coated.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve.

GRILLED GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until marinade is smooth, about 20 seconds.
• Pour marinade into a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag. Add shrimp to the bag and toss to coat with the marinade. Seal bag and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Soak wooden skewers in cold water while shrimp is marinating.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers, 5 to 6 shrimp per skewer. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
