CHUCK'S SHRIMP BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Make a deep slit along the back of each shrimp and spread to butterfly. Stuff each shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon queso fresco and some jalapeno. Close the shrimp around the cheese and jalapeno. Wrap the stuffed shrimp with a half-piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick or small skewer.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the adobo sauce, garlic powder and lime juice. Pour half of the butter mixture into a bowl for serving and divide the remaining half between 2 bowls for brushing and basting.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat; brush with olive oil. Brush one side of the shrimp with the butter mixture and put the shrimp on the grill buttered-side down. Using the same brush and same butter, brush the second side. Grill for a few minutes, checking to make sure the bacon is not sticking to the grill.
• Flip the shrimp and cook, flipping as needed and frequently basting with the second small bowl of butter and a clean brush, until the bacon is completely cooked and the shrimp are opaque, about 8 minutes total. Serve the shrimp on a platter with the remaining chipotle butter.

SHRIMP AND GARLIC BRUCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. In a 13x9-in. baking dish, combine tomatoes, 4 tablespoons oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes. Stir in shrimp, cheese, lemon juice, basil and parsley. Bake, uncovered, 10-12 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink., Meanwhile, brush baguette slices with remaining oil. Place bread on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Rub toast with cut surface of garlic; discard garlic. Using a slotted spoon, top with shrimp mixture. If desired, serve with lemon wedges and top with additional fresh basil.

GARLIC SHRIMP BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Season shrimp lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
• To skewer, lay shrimp flat on cutting board. Thread shrimp onto two skewers spaced equidistant from center; do this first with one skewer, then the other. Put two or three shrimp onto each set of skewers, for eight brochettes total.
• In a blender or food processor, put 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the garlic, the basil, the parsley, the red pepper and the zest. Pulse to coarsely grind ingredients. Add oil; blend to a rough sauce.
• Lay brochettes on a tray in one layer. Spoon 8 tablespoons green mixture over shrimp and spread to cover evenly. (Save remaining sauce.) Leave at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate several hours, then bring to room temperature.
• Grill brochettes over medium-hot fire for about 3 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges and reserved green sauce.

SHRIMP EN BROCHETTE

Steps:

• Prepare the grill. Combine the shrimp, hot sauce, mustard, beer and sugar in a shallow bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Wrap each shrimp with a piece of bacon, and thread onto skewers, allowing 3 shrimp and 3 cherry tomatoes per skewer.
• Place the kabobs on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill and serve immediately with the lemon wedges.

MARINATED TUNA AND SHRIMP BROCHETTE

Steps:

• Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't burn when grilling. Cut the tuna into 2-ounce portions, then peel and devein the shrimp. Place 1 shrimp on each skewer, and then place the skewer through a piece of tuna long-ways and "cap" off with 1 more shrimp. In a medium bowl, combine all of the dry herbs and the garlic. Next, add the vinegar and citrus. Finally, slowly whisk in the oil to create a "vinaigrette" consistency. In a deep dish, add the tuna/shrimp skewer and top with half of the marinade. Marinate for no more than 25 minutes, or else the acids will cook the fish. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Preheat a grill or a grill pan.
• Place the marinated skewers on the grill and cook to desired temperature (1 minute per side will cook the shrimp and make the tuna medium rare).

SPICY SHRIMP BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Thinly slice a baguette; arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 425 degrees F until lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Toss 1/2 pound peeled shrimp with 1 tablespoon each chopped chives and parsley, 1 teaspoon each red pepper flakes and lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of cayenne. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side. Spread marinara sauce on the toast rounds. Top with the shrimp; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped chives.

• PRESENTATION: Dredge the brochettes into the corn oil-lime mixture and season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium high heat until cooked evenly on both sides. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle the vinaigrette across the center of the plate and place the brochette atop the vinaigrette. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and drops of red chili oil and jalapeno hot sauce.

SHRIMP BROCHETTE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. Soak skewers in water.
• Place a strip of jalapeno into the opening of butterflied shrimp. Wrap with a piece of the bacon, and thread onto skewers so that the shrimp is pierced once through the head, and once through the tail, and bacon is secure. You can usually fit about 6 shrimp on a skewer. Make sure there is a little space between the shrimp, this will help the bacon cook better. Season both sides of the shrimp generously with Cajun seasoning.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place shrimp skewers on the grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn, and place slices of cheese over the shrimp. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until bacon is browned, and cheese is melted.

SHRIMP AND JALAPEñO BROCHETTES

Steps:

• In a shallow dish let the skewers soak in water to cover for 1 hour. On a cutting board mince and mash the garlic to a paste with the salt. In a bowl combine the garlic paste, the oil, and 1 of the jalapeño peppers minced (wear rubber gloves) and toss them until they are coated with the marinade, and let them marinate for 30 minutes. Cut the remaining jalapeño peppers crosswise into forty-eight 1/4-inch slices and thread 1 shrimp around 1 jalapeño slice on each skewer. The brochettes may be prepared up to this point 2 hours in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Grill the brochettes on a rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals, turning them once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just firm.
• (Alternatively, the brochettes can be broiled on racks set in jelly-roll pans under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat, turning them once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just firm.)

SEAFOOD BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Alternate seafood pieces on skewers, allowing 2 skewers per guest. Coat well with shrimp butter and place on charcoal grill or under broiler. Cook about 2 minutes a side, depending on thickness of fish pieces, basting often with shrimp butter.
