Grilled Shrimp With Tomatillos Food

GRILLED TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill over medium heat.
• Put the tomatillos, onion and garlic on the grill (put the garlic on a metal skewer or small piece of aluminum foil to keep it from slipping through the grates.) Grill the vegetables, removing them as they are ready, until the tomatillos, turning as needed, are soft but not bursting, the onion is tender and the garlic skin is charred, 5 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Peel the garlic and put in a blender with the tomatillos, onion, cilantro, chipotle chile and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend until well incorporated but slightly chunky.

• Brush green onions and serrano chile with olive oil. Grill until tender and charred (2 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool - then slice onions crosswise into 2-inch pieces and add to the tomatillos. Toss and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill shrimp (4-5 minutes, turning). Remove from grill and toss in bowl with vegetables along with the cumin and oregano.
• Serve with grilled tortillas.

TOMATILLO SHRIMP

Steps:

Add the tomatillos and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the tomatillos begin to break down and release some liquid, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Transfer the tomatillo sauce to your blender, puree, and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season them with some salt and pepper and the remaining chopped garlic. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the tomatillo sauce and simmer until the shrimp are curled and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the cilantro.
