GRILLED CLAMS AND MUSSELS WITH GARLIC, ALMONDS AND MINT

Steps:

• Build a very hot charcoal fire, mounding coals in the center of the grill, or heat a gas grill.
• Scrub mussels and clams under running water to remove any clinging grit.
• Put clams, wine, oil, sliced garlic and chile in a large disposable aluminum roasting pan and stir. Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty foil. Place pan on the grill and cover. Let cook undisturbed for 10 minutes, then use mitts to open foil and stir in mussels. Replace foil and continue cooking, with grill covered, 10 minutes more. By this time, most or all of the shellfish should be open. Use tongs to transfer opened shellfish to a serving bowl and return any unopened in the pan to continue cooking, covered, for another few minutes. Any that remain unopened should be discarded. Combine all shellfish and pan juices in the bowl.
• Toss shellfish with mint, almonds, chopped garlic and lemon zest. Drizzle with additional oil. Brush grilled bread slices with oil and serve alongside for soaking up juices.

GRILLED GARLIC SHRIMP WITH ROMESCO SAUCE

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, sugar, pimento, salt, garlic and lemon zest. Let the shrimp marinate for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill pan over high heat.
• When the grill pan is hot, grill the shrimp until they are just cooked through and turning pink, about 2 minutes per side. Serve immediately with the Romesco Sauce.* (See Cook's Note).
• Romesco Sauce:.
• In a food processor, process the toasted almonds until ground. Add the roasted red peppers, olive oil, vinegar, cayenne pepper, bread and garlic. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and transfer it to a serving bowl to serve alongside the grilled shrimp. ** (See Cook's Note).
• Cook's Notes:.
• *The sugar in the marinade helps to caramelize the shrimp. This is a great tip to use when trying to get those char marks on your grilled foods.
• **If the consistency of the sauce is too thick, try adding more olive oil or vinegar to achieve the consistency you like.
• Wine suggestion for this recipe:.
• Pinot Grigio.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH ZUCCHINI, ALMONDS AND PANELLE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of well salted water to a boil over high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the chickpea flour. Return saucepan over low heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the whisk leaves track marks in the mixture. Be sure to whisk out the lumps. If the mixture thickens too quickly, add more water. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
• Spread the mixture out in a lightly oiled pie plate or another wide flat baking dish. Chill until the mixture has set. This can be done up to a few days in advance. Cut into desired shapes and pan-fry or deep-fry.
• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Carefully toss the shrimp with olive oil and season with salt. Place the shrimp on the preheated grill and grill until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• While the shrimp are grilling, coat a saute pan generously with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Cut triangles of the panelle and fry on both sides in the preheated oil. When crispy on both sides remove and blot on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.
• In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, arugula and almonds with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and make sure it tastes delicious. Place the salad on pretty serving plates and arrange the grilled shrimp and panelle on the salad.
• Shrimpy!

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas or electric grill. Set the chopped tomatoes to drain in a fine-mesh colander or sieve.
• In a small sauté pan over medium-low heat, toast the almonds in a tablespoon of the oil, stirring frequently, until the almonds are golden brown- about 5 to 7 minutes-being careful not to burn them. Transfer the almonds to a mortar, food processor, or blender. In the oil remaining in the pan, gently sauté the garlic cloves, stirring frequently, until they are golden-about 15 minutes. Add the garlic to the almonds along with the parsley, black pepper, and hot pepper. Pound in the mortar or process or blend, gradually adding in the drained tomatoes to make a thick sauce. (If you're using a food processor or blender, be careful not to overprocess; the mixture should be a little granular from the almonds.)
• Transfer the sauce to a bowl and beat in the lemon juice and vinegar. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil and beat the rest into the sauce. Set the sauce aside.
• Toss the shrimp with the reserved 2 tablespoons oil. Cook the shrimp on the hot grill, about a minute to a side, until the shells are papery and the flesh is thoroughly cooked. Pile the shrimp on a platter and serve the sauce in a separate bowl (less messy); or pour the sauce over the hot shrimp and serve (very messy but delicious).
