Grilled Shrimp With Spicy Veg Noodles Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP AND NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse with cold water.
• Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, chili sauce and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl. Transfer 1/4 cup of the marinade to another bowl and toss with the shrimp. Toss another 1/4 cup marinade with the asparagus and mushrooms in a third bowl. Let the shrimp and vegetables marinate 10 minutes at room temperature. Toss the noodles with the remaining marinade.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the shrimp, asparagus and mushrooms until the shrimp is just cooked through and the asparagus is slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Halve the mushrooms and cut the asparagus into pieces.
• Divide the noodles among bowls and top with the shrimp, asparagus, mushrooms, carrot and cilantro.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high; oil the grates. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon curry paste and the vegetable oil. Let sit at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon curry paste, the peanut butter, vinegar, ginger brine, 2 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until smooth and thick. Add the cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, most of the cilantro, the ginger and a generous pinch of salt; toss well until the sauce loosens. Cut the noodles into shorter pieces with kitchen shears and add to the vegetables; season with salt and toss well.
• Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on top of the noodle mixture. Top with the remaining cilantro.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add the shrimp, cover, and chill for approximately 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine the spice rub ingredients and set aside.
• To cook: Remove the shrimp from the marinade, skewer onto bamboo skewers, and season with a pinch of the spice rub. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the shrimp for 2 1/2 minutes on each side.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CUCUMBER CILANTRO RICE

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Combine all of the ingredients except the shrimp in a medium bowl; whisk together. Add the shrimp and toss to combine. Let marinate in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours, if time allows. Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water so they don't burn on the grill.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or a grill pan for high heat. Thread about 4 shrimp onto each skewer, reserving the marinade for basting. Grill the shrimp until just firm, brushing with the marinade, 1 to 2 minutes per side (up to 3 minutes per side, if using a grill pan).
• For the rice: In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the rice and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the rice smells a little nutty and is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook the rice according to the package directions (usually 15 to 25 minutes). Fluff the rice with a fork then fold in the cucumber, cilantro, scallions, olive oil and vinegar. Taste for seasoning.
• Serve the rice with the shrimp skewers.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CORN AND POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates.
• Brush the corn with 2 tablespoons oil, then season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill, rotating a few times, until the corn is tender and nice char marks appear, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then cut the corn away from the cobs and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Meanwhile, put the red chiles, shallot, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a blender and blend until coarsely chopped. Pour in 3/4 cup oil and blend until smooth.
• Stir together the shrimp and sauce in another medium bowl until coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Do not marinate the shrimp for longer than 15 minutes. The high amount of acid in the marinade will start to break down the proteins in the shrimp and will make the result mushy.
• Grill the shrimp, flipping halfway, until opaque and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Fold the mint, parsley, pomegranate seeds, crumbled feta, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper into the medium bowl with the grilled corn. Serve with the grilled shrimp.
