Eddies Grilled Shrimp And Roasted Red Pepper Salad Recipes

CREAMY HERBED SHRIMP AND ROASTED RED PEPPER PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, parsley, scallions, sour cream, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the shrimp, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl with the dressing.
• Add the shrimp, roasted red peppers and celery to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. The pasta salad is best if served right away.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Place the peppers, onion and scallions in a medium size mixing bowl. To make the dressing, place all the dressing ingredients, except for the olive oil in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend. Gradually add the olive oil, one tablespoon at a time. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine.

GRILLED SHRIMP, RED PEPPER AND CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill or broiler. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle them with a tablespoon of oil. Seed and devein the peppers, and cut them into quarters. Grill the shrimp until they are lightly charred and barely cooked (about a minute and a half on each side). Cool.
• Meanwhile, put the peppers skin side down on the grill and char them. Put them in a paper bag for a few minutes; then scrape off their skins. Chop the shrimp and peppers into half-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Shuck the corn and scrape off the kernels with a sharp knife. Put the corn in a bowl with the scallions. Add the cilantro leaves, lime juice, chili, garlic, Tabasco and remaining oil. Mix well. Add the shrimp and peppers and toss. Correct seasoning, adding more lime juice if necessary.
• Divide the avocado slices among four plates, fanning them out to one side. Spoon the shrimp and corn salad next to the avocado, and garnish with cilantro and a lime quarter.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a hot charcoal grill. Lay peppers directly on the grill and let them blister, turning frequently until blackened all over, about 8 minutes. Set aside on a plate until cool enough to handle. (Alternatively, roast peppers on the stovetop, directly on the flames of a gas burner.)
• Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Cut off stems, scrape away skins and seeds, and discard. Do not rinse; a bit of char is OK. Chop the peppers into 2-inch chunks.
• With a food processor or blender, whirl together peppers, almonds, pimentón, cayenne and garlic to form a rough paste. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly add olive oil to achieve the consistency of a thick milkshake. Taste, adjust seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, boil potatoes in well-salted water until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Place onion pieces on the grill skin-side down. Salt lightly. Cover with lid and cook until onions are soft, about 15 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Place boiled potatoes on grill and cook until slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, thread shrimp onto skewers, 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, without crowding. (If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning.) Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Lay skewers on grill over hot coals. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until shrimp turn pink and are a bit charred, 3 minutes more
• Arrange shrimp, potatoes and onions on a large platter. Serve with the red pepper sauce and lemon wedges.

GRILLED RED PEPPER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Put them in a large bowl of ice water with the salt. Refrigerate for one hour. Drain and pat dry.
• In a bowl large enough to contain the shrimp, combine the oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon peel, pepper flakes and oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp, toss so they are thoroughly coated with the mixture and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Preheat grill.
• Grill the shrimp for two to three minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook them. Put them on a serving platter. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve. Garnish with basil leaves and lemon and season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
