Grilled Shrimp Skewers And Plantains Food

SHRIMP AND PLANTAINS ON SKEWERS WITH MANGO MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a shallow dish or plastic container and pour the marinade over them. Cover and marinate for 4 to 6 hours in the refrigerator. Preheat the broiler.
• Transfer the shrimp to a broiling pan and broil for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until just cooked. Set aside to cool.
• Heat just enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet and cook the plantain slices for 1 minute on each side or until golden and tender. Set aside to cool.
• Thread 2 shrimp and 2 plantain slices onto each small skewer and serve with Mango Mayonnaise as a dipping sauce.
• Mix the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Stir together all the ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Cover and chill until needed.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
• Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.
