GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
• Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP AND PEPPER SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak 16 wooden skewers in water.
• Wash shrimp and pat dry on paper towels. Peel shells and discard. De-vein each shrimp if you have time (use a toothpick to pull out the long black "vein" that runs along the back of each shrimp - if the fact that the "vein" is actually a poop chute doesn't bother you, feel free to skip this step).
• Wash, de-seed and chop the peppers into 1" square sections.
• Mince the garlic with salt. Mix the garlic-salt with lemon juice, olive oil, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and peppers and toss well to coat.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Gather your marinade ingredients
• Prepare your marinade and place in a bowl or in a ziplock baggie. Clean your shrimp and add to marinade. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Clean your fresh sugar snap peas. You can steam your peas for 5 minutes or so and just place your shrimp skewers on top of the peas or you can add them to the skewer as well. They cook nicely with the shrimp and still have a nice crunch to them even after grilling. If cooking add your oil, salt, pepper and toasted black sesame seeds after you steam them.
• Take your shrimp out of marinade and place on skewers alternating the sugar snap peas or just the shrimp themselves. Now, add your sprinkle of tumeric, salt & pepper to taste and toasted black sesame seeds. After placing them on the skewer grill accordingly to the size of shrimp you use. I had a medium shrimp so it was 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Once shrimp is done remove from grill and plate over the peas and then squeeze fresh lime juice over them right before serving.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a hot charcoal grill. Lay peppers directly on the grill and let them blister, turning frequently until blackened all over, about 8 minutes. Set aside on a plate until cool enough to handle. (Alternatively, roast peppers on the stovetop, directly on the flames of a gas burner.)
• Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Cut off stems, scrape away skins and seeds, and discard. Do not rinse; a bit of char is OK. Chop the peppers into 2-inch chunks.
• With a food processor or blender, whirl together peppers, almonds, pimentón, cayenne and garlic to form a rough paste. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly add olive oil to achieve the consistency of a thick milkshake. Taste, adjust seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, boil potatoes in well-salted water until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Place onion pieces on the grill skin-side down. Salt lightly. Cover with lid and cook until onions are soft, about 15 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Place boiled potatoes on grill and cook until slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, thread shrimp onto skewers, 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, without crowding. (If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning.) Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Lay skewers on grill over hot coals. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until shrimp turn pink and are a bit charred, 3 minutes more
• Arrange shrimp, potatoes and onions on a large platter. Serve with the red pepper sauce and lemon wedges.
