SHRIMP MANGO LETTUCE CUPS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice and garlic. Add the olive oil and cilantro, then whisk until it's all mixed together.
• Place the shrimp in a bowl, pour in half of the lemon-cilantro dressing and stir to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes or up to a couple hours.
• Add the avocado to the bowl with the rest of the dressing.
• Dice up the mango: Slice off both halves around the pit, score the flesh inside the skin and invert the skin to pop out the good stuff. Then, slice off the mango pieces so they fall into the bowl with the avocado. Add the red onion and some salt and pepper and gently mix it all together.
• To serve, arrange 4 shrimp in the center of each lettuce leaf and spoon the mango-avocado salad on top. Sprinkle chives over the top to make 'em extra pretty.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high.
• Double-skewer the shrimp with 2 metal skewers, one skewer through the thicker part of the shrimp and one close to the tail (wooden skewers will work too, but soak for 30 minutes in water first); skewer 6 shrimp per skewer set. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and skewers.
• Mix together the paprika, garlic powder and coriander in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the shrimp with the seasoning mixture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side.
• Arrange the shrimp on the lettuce cups and drizzle with the Creamy Herb Sauce. Top with the cilantro and dill.
• Combine the yogurt, cilantro, dill, mayonnaise, chili paste and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice as needed to make the sauce as thick, thin or acidic as you'd like. Season with salt and pepper.

AUSSIE SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE WITH MANGO RELISH

Steps:

• SHRIMP: Soak 8 (4") bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat grill to medium heat. Combine all ingredients except shrimp and skewers in a small mixing bowl. Line shrimp up in vertical rows of five, all facing the same direction on a flat surface. Thread two wooden skewers, one at the head-end and one at the tail-end, through each row of five shrimp so you end up with a washboard-looking rectangle of skewered shrimp. Place shrimp on a platter and brush all over with garlic mixture. Place shrimp skewers on hot grill and cook 1-2 minutes per side.
• MANGO RELISH: Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, garlic and chile pepper until soft and fragrant. Turn off heat and stir in sugar and diced mango. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
