Grilled Whole Sea Bream With Chile Glaze Food

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH KAHLUA-CHIPOTLE CHILE GLAZE

Steps:

• Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven on a high broil setting.
• When hot, place tomatoes onions (cut side down) and garlic on an oiled cookie sheet.
• Broil until charred, about 5-6 minutes for garlic and 10 minutes for onions and tomatoes.
• Core tomatoes and cut into chunks.
• Peel onions and garlic; coarsely chop all and add to blender with the next 5 (chipotles through brown sugar) ingredients.
• Blend until smooth.
• Pour corn oil into a 10" frying pan over medium-high heat; when hot, add tomato mixture and stir until it simmers.
• Lower heat to medium and cook about 8 minutes.
• Add lime juice and stir until the glaze is thick.
• Add salt to taste.
• Reserve 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup glaze.
• Thread shrimp on skewers, then set on a barbecue grill over high heat.
• Sear 1-2 minutes on each side, basting with glaze before you flip the shrimp.
• Continue to flip and coat each side until shrimp is barely opaque, about 4-6 minutes.
• Serve with reserved glaze, chopped cilantro and lime wedges.

GRILLED WHOLE FISH IN CHILE, GARLIC AND MINT SAUCE (A KREMEZI)

Steps:

• Mix together the first 5 ingredients (chiles through olive oil).
• Season with a little salt, mix, then taste (the sauce should taste hot) and re-season as needed.
• Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to 2 hours for the flavors to marry. (Note: prep time below only includes 30 minutes for this step).
• Light a charcoal grill or preheat a broiler.
• Salt the fish inside and out and place on an oiled grill about 5 inches from the heat source. Broil or grill, turning once, until done, about 15 minutes (I use the 10 minutes per inch of maximal thickness rule).
• Remove from the heat, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for about 5 minutes.
• Mix the sauce with the chopped tomato.
• You may serve the fish in one of two ways.
• Present the fish whole, with the sauce on the side. OR
• Cut the fish and place the two fillets, skin side down, on a heat-proof platter. Pour half the sauce over the fillets, sprinkle with black pepper and place under a very hot broiler for 15-20 seconds (just enough to warm the sauce). Sprinkle with parsley.
• Serve the fish (whether whole or as fillets) and pass the sauce (if the fish is left whole) or the remaining sauce (if the fillets are being served) separately.
