Grilled Shrimp With Cilantro Mint Chutney Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CILANTRO MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse all the ingredients from the cilantro to the water to make a smooth chutney. Adjust the taste with additional salt and pepper if desired. Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Pat the shrimp dry with a clean towel and add half of the cilantro mint chutney along with the olive oil. Mix and refrigerate in a covered container for at least 30 mins.
• Preheat a grill. Skewer the shrimp and grill them on the hot grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. Baste as needed with the leftover marinade from the chutney. The shells at the tail end and the meat will turn a hot pink color when they are done cooking. Remove the skewers and immediately squeeze a little lemon juice from the lemon over the hot shrimp. Serve them on the skewers with the reserved chutney.

SPICY FRIED SHRIMP WITH GREEN CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add turmeric, cayenne, black pepper, garlic, ginger, garam masala, chile, cilantro, mint and lemon juice. Toss to coat well and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes. (May marinate up to several hours in advance, refrigerated.)
• Make the chutney: Put mint, cilantro, garlic, ginger, sugar, salt, cumin and chile in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Purée until smooth, using a little ice water as necessary to help blend the mixture. Add lime juice and transfer to a small serving bowl.
• Just before frying, sprinkle rice flour and chickpea flour over reserved shrimp and toss to coat. Then sprinkle with 1 or 2 tablespoons water and toss. Shrimp should now have a batter-like coating.
• Heat an inch of oil in a wok until nearly smoking, about 375 degrees. Fry a few shrimp at a time until golden and crisp, a minute or so per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until all shrimp are fried. Serve with green chutney.

GRILLED FISH SANDWICHES WITH CILANTRO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Make the chutney: Combine 1 1/2 cups cilantro, the coconut, serrano, ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Pulse in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water if the chutney is too thick.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 teaspoon curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub all over the halibut fillets. Lightly oil the grill with coconut oil. Grill the halibut until well-marked and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Grill the rolls until charred in spots, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
• Mix the carrots and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 cup cilantro in a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Spread the cilantro chutney on the cut sides of the rolls. (If the chutney is dry, mix in 1 to 2 more teaspoons coconut oil.) Fill the rolls with the carrot mixture and halibut. Serve with sweet potato chips.
