Grilled Shrimp With Ancho Pasilla Sauce Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC (GAMBAS AL AJILLO)

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium.
• Whisk together 1/4 cup of the oil, 2 tablespoons of the thyme, ancho powder and chopped garlic in a small bowl. Skewer the shrimp and brush with marinade.
• Place the remaining 1/2 cup of the oil in a small saucepan, add the sliced garlic and cook until the sliced garlic is lightly golden brown. Remove the garlic slices with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve the oil.
• Increase the heat of the grill to high.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade, season with salt and pepper and grill until golden brown on each side, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skewers, transfer to a platter and drizzle with some of the reserved garlic oil and the garlic chips. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme and garnish with oregano leaves.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze ingredients in the bag to combine. Add shrimp. Remove as much air as possible, seal, and move shrimp around in the bag to coat in the marinade. Place in a tray or plate so shrimp are in a single layer. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Place a heat-proof skillet on one side of the grill to heat with the grill. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers.
• Place shrimp skewers onto the hot grate and grill until the shrimp turn white and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.
• Meanwhile, pour 2 teaspoons olive oil into the hot skillet and cook onion, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in wine and allow to reduce, about 4 minutes. Stir in cream. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

EASY GRILLED SPICY SHRIMP

• Put shrimp in a large bowl; add chile sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin and toss to coat.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH ANCHO PASILLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak skewers in water at least 30 minutes and up to several hours.
• Shell and devein shrimp. Holding 2 skewers parallel and slightly apart, thread 6 shrimp onto them (this will facilitate turning them on the grill). Thread remaining shrimp onto pairs of skewers in same manner. Brush both sides of shrimp with ancho pasilla sauce and discard any remaining sauce. Marinate shrimp, covered and chilled, at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
• Prepare grill.
• Grill shrimp on a well-oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 2 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. (Alternatively, shrimp may be broiled on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 3 inches from heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side.)
• Remove shrimp from skewers and serve with accompaniments.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH ANCHO CHILES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic slices until tender but not brown. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels and reserve. Turn the heat under the pan to high. Quickly toss the shrimp with the salt and pepper in a bowl. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the shrimp. Saute, stirring and shaking the pan to prevent sticking, 3 to 4 minutes or just until the shrimp are still slightly undercooked. Remove from the heat. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a platter, leaving as much liquid in the pan as possible. Return the pan to the burner and reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic slices and anchos and saute, stirring frequently, until the oil begins to turn orange from the chiles. Stir in the fish stock or clam juice, along with the shrimp and any juice that has collected on the platter. Add the lime juice and parsley, bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Serve immediately over white rice.

SAUTEED SHRIMP IN ANCHO CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the shrimp. Rinse them, and place them in iced water with the coarse salt. Soak for an hour.
• Place the chilies in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak for an hour.
• Remove the chilies from the water (reserving it) and take away the seeds and stems. Tear into large strips and place the chilies in a blender. Add the lemon or lime juice and enough of the soaking liquid to make a smooth puree. Set aside.
• Rinse the shrimp under cold water.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and add the garlic and shallots. Cook until soft.
• Add the shrimp and cook for one minute, then add one-and-a-half tablespoons ancho puree. Cook, stirring for a couple of minutes (beware of overcooking the shrimp). Taste and stir in more puree according to your taste. Season with salt and pepper and add the coriander. Serve immediately.
