Grilled Shrimp And Blackened Avocado Poboy Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP PO' BOY

Steps:

• Arrange about 4 shrimp on each skewer and add to a 13 by 9-inch casserole dish.
• Add the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, to a measuring cup. Whisk well and pour over the shrimp in the casserole. Cover the dish and let the shrimp marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill the shrimp skewers over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes total, flipping once halfway through. Add the baguette to the grill and toast.
• Remove the shrimp from the grill and add to the butter sauce, discarding the skewers. Toss to coat the shrimp in the Butter Sauce.
• Spread both sides of bread with the Sweet Pickle Mayonnaise and top evenly with the shrimp, shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Slice the baguette in fourths, if desired, and serve immediately.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan on the grill grates. Add the lemon juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Stir together with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

BLACKENED SHRIMP PO'BOYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the mayonnaise, minced pickles, shallot and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, about 5 minutes. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of each roll. Fill with the shrimp, lettuce and tomatoes. Serve with pickles.

GRILLED SHRIMP AND BLACKENED AVOCADO PO'BOY

Steps:

• For the Smoked Onion Mayo: Soak hickory chips in water. While the chips are soaking toss the onions in 1 teaspoon salt and sugar. Then place the chips in a preheated grill or smoker and hard smoke for 30 minutes. Once onions are smoked, caramelize them over medium-low heat in a large pan with the oil until nice and dark golden brown. Puree caramelized onions with Worcestershire, hot sauce, coriander and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Then fold onion puree into mayonnaise. Taste for seasoning.
• For the Blackened Avocado: Place a cast-iron pan over high heat. Cut avocados in half and remove stone and then remove the peel. Coat avocado halves in Creole seasoning. Place oil in cast iron pan and then blacken avocados on both sides. Remove from pan, allow to cool slightly, and then dice into 1-inch pieces and lightly toss with vinegar, red onion and tomato.
• For the Po'Boy: Sprinkle the shrimp in Creole seasoning and grill on each side for 1 minute. Cooking time may vary depending on your heat. Divide the shrimp between the bread, add the mayo, avocado, tomato slices and lettuce.

GRILLED SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• Chop shrimp finely using a food processor (I used my Pampered Chef food chopper) or grind with a meat grinder using a coarse grinding plate.
• Gently but thoroughly mix shrimp with remaining ingredients.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• NOTE: I eliminated the salt due to the use of celery salt.
• Gently form mixture into six to eight 3/4-inch-thick burgers.
• Cover the burgers and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until needed.
• Grill burgers 5 to 6 minutes on each side, basting with approximately 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce per burger while grilling.
• Serve with whatever you like to dress your shrimp with.
• We used a homemade tartar sauce but I would also consider cocktail sauce or barbecue sauce as well as lettuce and tomato.
