SMOKY PAPRIKA SHRIMP WITH QUINOA TABBOULEH AND GARLIC YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak your bamboo skewers in a shallow baking dish filled with about 2 inches of water for at least 30 minutes.
• Pour the quinoa into a small saucepan and add ¾ cup water. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover and cook for 12-15 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Let the quinoa rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes and fluff with a fork.
• While the quinoa is cooking, tackle the shrimp. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the smoked paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, garlic and olive oil. (It will be a pretty pasty, people.) Add the shrimp to the spice mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (and up to overnight).
• While the shrimp is marinating, prep the tabbouleh. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic and olive oil with a pinch of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Add the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, mint and parsley, and toss to combine.Taste and season with extra salt and fresh ground pepper if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
• Combine all the ingredients for the yogurt sauce in a medium bowl. If it's too thick, add a couple teaspoons of water until your desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Now it's time to skewer the shrimp. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over your spiced shrimp and give them a toss. Thread the shrimp onto your soaked skewers. (I like to use two bamboo skewers for each kabob for stability.) You should be able to get 4-5 on each "kebab."
• Heat a lightly oiled grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shrimp skewers and cook for about 2-2½ minutes on each side until they're opaque and cooked through.
• Serve shrimp over tabbouleh and drizzle with yogurt sauce. I like to serve everything on a warm pita, but you do you.

PAPRIKA SHRIMP

Steps:

• Remove the shell from the centre of the shrimp, leaving the head and tail intact.

• Mix together the oil, garlic, paprika and salt in a shallow dish large enough to hold the shrimp in a single layer.
• Stir together, then add the shrimp and turn until they are coated.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to cook, grill for about 1 minute, or until the shrimp start to curl and the shells turn pink.
• Turn over and continue to cook for an additional minute, or until cooked through.
• Serve at once with lemon wedges for squeezing over the shrimp.

Steps:

• For the white wine sauce:
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and the garlic and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to high, add the wine, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half. Add the cream and slowly start whisking in the cold butter, piece by piece and continue to whisk until the sauce is emulsified. Strain into a bowl and stir in the chives. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
• For the shrimp:
• Whisk together the oil, paprika, garlic and thyme in a large bowl; add the shrimp and toss to coat the shrimp in the mixture. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and grill until slightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Put some of the sauce on a large platter, drizzle with Basil Oil and top with the shrimp. Drizzle with more of the sauce; garnish with chives and serve.

20-MINUTE SHRIMP AND COUSCOUS WITH YOGURT-HUMMUS SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high. Combine the couscous, apricots and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a bowl. Add 1 1/4 cups very hot water, cover with plastic wrap and let sit until all of the water is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir together the yogurt, hummus, mint and 1 to 2 tablespoons water in another bowl. Season with salt and set aside.
• Toss the shrimp, tomatoes, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and paprika together. Spread out on a baking sheet and broil until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Drizzle with the lemon juice.
• Fluff the couscous with a fork. Divide the shrimp and couscous among 4 plates. Scrape any of the drippings from the baking sheet into the yogurt-hummus sauce. Serve the shrimp and couscous with the sauce.

• With tongs, remove chicken from casserole to a heated platter.
