Shrinp With Grilled Nectarine Salad Food

GRILLED SHRIMP NECTARINE SUMMER SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill or BBQ.
• Make citrus strawberry vinaigrette - in a food processor or blender add shallots, vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, 3-4 strawberries, honey or sugar alternative and salt and pepper of choice. Set aside. Makes about 1 cup of dressing so you will have extra.
• In a bowl or individual plates add the romaine lettuce, rocket (arugula) and strawberries.
• Toss thawed shrimp in olive oil, salt and pepper (or Mrs. Dash) and garlic powder and place on grill (or stove top grill pan) for about 2 minutes each side until no longer translucent and pink . Remove from grill and set aside.
• Spray nectarines with a little oil or brush with a little olive oil so they do not stick on the grill. Grill nectarines for about 1-2 minutes on each side, just until you get nice grill marks. Remove from grill.
• Place grilled shrimp and grilled nectarines on top of salad with strawberries. Drizzle with a little lemon strawberry vinaigrette and top with a few Chinese fried noodles or toasted almonds if desired. Enjoy!

GINGER-LIME GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side. On a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Toss the chicken with the ginger, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon each brown sugar, lime zest, lime juice and chili-garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side up on the cooler side of the grill; cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Move to direct heat and cook, uncovered, flipping occasionally, until the skin is charred and crisp, about 5 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 teaspoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce in a large bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil.
• Add the nectarines, mint, peanuts and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl with the dressing; toss. Divide the chicken and nectarine salad among plates.

EASY GRILLED NECTARINES

Steps:

• Brush each nectarine half with 1/4 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar.
• Preheat the grill on medium heat. Place nectarines into an aluminum grill dish or directly onto the grill. Grill until lightly browned, turning occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes.

GRILLED NECTARINE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Drizzle the nectarine halves with a little olive oil. Grill cut-side down for 2 to 3 minutes, turning midway to achieve lovely grill marks. Set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon and vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil to emulsify. Add some salt and pepper and mix.
• Toast the slivered almonds in a small skillet over medium-low heat until just turning golden brown.
• In a large bowl, toss the salad greens with enough of the dressing to lightly coat. (You won't use all of the dressing; save to have on another salad tomorrow!) Toss in the warm toasted almonds.
• Divide the salad among 4 plates. Place a nectarine half on each serving. Drizzle the nectarines with a little more dressing. With a fork, cut the blue cheese into chunks and distribute among the plates.

GRILLED NECTARINE & BURRATA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the butter and sugar in a small frying pan over a medium heat until the butter has melted. Add the pecans and stir to coat in the buttery sugar. Continue to cook for about 5 mins, stirring until the pecans are crisp and caramelised. Tip out onto a sheet of baking parchment and leave to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop and set aside.
• Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and generously brush the nectarine slices with some olive oil. Griddle for 1-2 mins on each side until charred and caramelised. Remove to a serving platter and set aside.
• Whisk the 4 tbsp olive oil, vinegar and honey together with some seasoning to make a dressing.
• Nestle the balls of burrata in amongst the nectarines and slice open, then arrange the rocket and basil around them. Drizzle over the dressing, scatter with the pecans and sprinkle with a pinch of chilli flakes to serve.
