GRILLED SHRIMP SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Lightly brush the shrimp, corn, jalapeno, scallions and onion wedges with canola oil, sprinkle with salt and place on the grill. Cook the scallions and shrimp until charred and the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Cook the jalapeno and red onion until charred and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Cook the corn, rotating every 2 minutes, until charred and the kernels have turned bright yellow, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the vegetables and shrimp to a baking sheet and let cool.
• Cut the grilled shrimp into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a medium bowl. Seed and finely chop the jalapeno; add to the bowl. Finely shop the scallions and red onion and cut the kernels from the corn; add all three to the bowl. Stir in the cucumber, lime zest and juice, paprika, coriander and cumin. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Before serving, fold in the cilantro and avocado. Serve with tortilla chips.

• Heat a stovetop or outdoor grill to medium-high. Mix the olive oil, chipotle or chili powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Grill the shrimp until translucent, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Grill tortillas, until slightly charred and pliable, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and heat in a microwave.) Spoon sauce on the tortilla, then top with about 2 or 3 shrimp and a sprig of cilantro. Serve 2 tacos per person, with a lime wedge on the side.

• Reheat the clarified butter in the skillet until very hot and saute the shrimp for about 1 minute or until they turn opaque. Remove and reserve.
• Return garlic-parsley mixture to skillet, mix with butter remaining in skillet, add cream and water and bring to the boil, stirring constantly to thicken. Add white wine and bring to boil. Return shrimp to mixture to reheat briefly. Do not boil. Check seasonings and serve immediately over rice or small pasta.

SHRIMP VERDE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Cut the shrimp in halves or thirds.
• Set a medium saute pan over medium to high heat and put in the lime juice. Heat for 1 minute. Add in the minced garlic and a dash of salt and pepper. Add in the shrimp and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until the shrimp are no longer translucent and have turned a very faint pink/white color, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Put the shrimp in a small bowl with a couple of ice cubes. When the ice has melted, drain the shrimp and place back in the bowl. Put in the refrigerator to chill for 2 to 3 hours. (Alternatively, if you are in a hurry, put the shrimp in a small bowl, cover completely with ice cubes and add 1/2 cup water. Let the shrimp sit in the ice bath while you prep the rest of the recipe.)
• Chop the avocado and cucumber the same size as the shrimp for consistency and presentation.
• In a medium bowl, add the avocados, cucumbers, red onions, cilantro and serranos. Add the chilled shrimp and gently fold (stir) together the ingredients. Squeeze over the juice of 1/2 lime and add a dash of salt and 2 dashes pepper.
• Serve in chilled cocktail glasses, like martini glasses, or in wide-rim 8- to 9-ounce glasses or small glass/ceramic bowls. Place each glass on a nice plate, then arrange some tortilla chips around the glass. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge. Some people like to dash hot sauce over their shrimp as well. We like Tapatio or Tabasco.
• Fill a medium stockpot halfway with vegetable oil and heat over high heat until a drop of water added to the oil crackles and hisses back at you. Carefully add the tortilla chips in batches with tongs and fry until a golden color, 2 to 3 minutes. Use the tongs to transfer the chips to a large bowl. Sprinkle a few dashes of seasoning salt over the chips and toss (with tongs) while still hot.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Mince together the garlic, capers, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mint, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, and red-wine vinegar.
• Preheat the broiler or prepare a grill. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing down the center of each, lengthwise, almost but not completely through. Open both sides to lay flat. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Broil or grill for 2 minutes per side. Place 4 shrimp on each plate and spoon some of the sauce over them. Serve with lemon.

GRILLED SHRIMP SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Soak 20 wooden skewers in enough water to cover for 30 minutes (prevents skewers from burning on the grill).
• Make the salsa verde: puree all the ingredients, except the shrimp, in a blender or food processor until smooth and set aside.
• This can be make ahead and covered and kept in the refrigerator overnight-remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
• Thread 3 shrimp through the head on one skewer and with a second skewer thread through the tail, repeat for all the shrimp.
• This method of 2 skewers keeps the shrimp from spinning when turning on the grill.
• Brush both sides of skewers with the salsa verde, can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead if kept refrigerated.
• Prepare grill and cook 2-4 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and are lightly charred.
• Turn to grill 2-4 minutes more.

• Blend remaining dressing, water and cilantro in blender until smooth.
• Spoon shrimp onto tortillas; top with radishes and onions. Drizzle with cilantro mixture.

SHRIMP SCAMPI VERDE PASTA

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water over high heat to cook the pasta until al dente.
• While pasta is cooking, place the basil, parsley, arugula, chives, chicken stock, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor or blender, pulse to grind into a rough paste. Reserve.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 4 tablespoons of oil. Add the shrimp and spread them out in an even layer.
• While the shrimp are cooking, add garlic to the skillet along with the crushed red pepper flakes. Toss to combine, season with some salt and pepper and continue to cook the shrimp for about 4 minutes.
• Add the white wine to the skillet, cook for 1 minute, then add the reserved ground herb mixture, cold butter and all juice from the lemon to the shrimp skillet.
• Before draining the pasta remove about a half a cup cooking water and add to the shrimp skillet. Add the drained pasta and toss to combine with the shrimp and the sauce, stirring until the butter has melted. Serve immediately.

POZOLE VERDE WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Fill a large stockpot with 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the hominy, bay leaves and 1 teaspoon salt and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook until the hominy is tender and slightly puffed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, tortillas and 2 cups water to a blender and puree until smooth.
• When the hominy are puffed, add the pumpkin seed mixture to the stockpot and stir to combine. Simmer on low as you prepare the salsa verde.
• To make the salsa verde, add the tomatillos, cilantro, garlic, serrano, yellow onion and 1 cup water to the same blender and puree until smooth. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
• Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the salsa verde and cinnamon stick. Partially cover the skillet with a lid until the salsa stops splattering and starts to simmer slowly. Uncover the skillet and continue to cook until the salsa is dark green and starts to thicken, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer the salsa verde and cinnamon to the stockpot with the hominy mixture and continue to simmer to allow the flavors to meld, 15 to 20 minutes. You may notice that the mixture separates just a bit, but it will come together as it simmers. Taste and season with salt, about 1 tablespoon. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves. The broth should have a slightly thickened consistency, like heavy cream. If it's too thin, cook for 5 to 10 minutes more. If it's too thick, add 1/2 cup water.
• Slice the shrimp in half crosswise and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Remove the stockpot from the heat and immediately add the shrimp to the stockpot. The shrimp will cook with the carryover heat, turning pink and being fully cooked in 3 to 5 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, scoop some of the hominy and shrimp mixture into deep bowls, about 1 cup per serving. Ladle some of the verde broth into each bowl and garnish with radishes, red onion, avocado, cabbage and a pinch of dried oregano. Serve with tostadas and lime wedges.
