GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat, then set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes while you prepare the chimichurri sauce.
• Chimichurri (by hand): finely chop the parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, and shallot. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice until emulsified. Add the chopped herbs and alliums, as well as the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Chimichurri (food processor): combine the parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, and shallot in a food processor. Pulse until the herbs and alliums are finely chopped. Add the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse 5-10 times more, or until well combined. Flip the motor to process and pour in the olive oil through the feed tube until the ingredients form a sauce. Makes about 1.5 cups.
• Skewer the shrimp onto 2 skewers, alternating heads and tails, and keeping them tightly packed.
• Heat a grill to high (450°F). Rub the grates with the cut side of a potato to prevent sticking, or brush with olive oil.
• Arrange the skewers on the grill in a single layer. Grill 2 minutes with the lid open, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes more or until cooked through. The shrimp are cooked through the moment they turn pink and are completely opaque. The ideal temperature is 120°F.
• Drizzle the shrimp with chimichurri sauce and serve immediately.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Toss together the cilantro, mangoes, lime juice, jalapeno and red onions in a medium bowl. Divide half of the mixture among 4 glasses with a wide mouth, reserving the remaining half to top with.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Add the shrimp to a large bowl and toss with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill the shrimp on each side until opaque and slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the shrimp to the 4 glasses with the salsa and top with the remaining salsa. Garnish with a plantain chip.

GRILLED CHORIZO, SHRIMP, AND BEEF WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Using a meat mallet, pound the skirt steak out thinly. Cut the steak into 1-1/2 inch strips and skewer on wooden skewers. Skewer the shrimp in a similar fashion on additional skewers. Each skewer should contain only a single piece of food to be grilled.
• Cut the sausage into diagonal slices and also skewer. Place the skewered meats onto platters and lightly marinate in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Marinate not longer than overnight.
• Prepare the chimichurri dipping sauce:
• Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a large bowl, mix well and set aside. Make the chimichurri well in advance of cooking. (It can be prepared 3 days in advance and kept refrigerated for up to a week.)
• Prepare a medium-hot fire on a well-oiled outdoor grill or indoor stove-top grill pan. Carefully drain all excess oil from the skewered meats and fish, and season with salt and pepper. Cook each skewered anticucho for 2-3 minutes or until charred and fully cooked.
• Serve the anticuchos on a platter, drizzle chimichurri over the top or serve separately.
