Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

24 shrimp (U16 size), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Olive oil, for drizzling
8 lettuce cups
Creamy Herb Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh dill leaves
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chili paste
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Juice of up to 2 lemons
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high.
  • Double-skewer the shrimp with 2 metal skewers, one skewer through the thicker part of the shrimp and one close to the tail (wooden skewers will work too, but soak for 30 minutes in water first); skewer 6 shrimp per skewer set. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and skewers.
  • Mix together the paprika, garlic powder and coriander in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the shrimp with the seasoning mixture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side.
  • Arrange the shrimp on the lettuce cups and drizzle with the Creamy Herb Sauce. Top with the cilantro and dill.
  • Combine the yogurt, cilantro, dill, mayonnaise, chili paste and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice as needed to make the sauce as thick, thin or acidic as you'd like. Season with salt and pepper.

SAMBAL SHRIMP LETTUCE WRAPS

If you purchase frozen peeled, deveined shrimp, they'll come with their tails taken off, which is totally fine for this recipe. If you want to grill instead, thread the shrimp onto a skewer after marinating.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
4 tsp. toasted sesame oil, divided
1 1/2 lb. large shrimp
Kosher salt
1-2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced into rounds
Flaky sea salt
2 heads of Bibb lettuce, leaves separated, covered, chilled
1/2 cup mint sprigs
1/2 cup crushed salted, dry-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Whisk hot chili paste, honey, vinegar, and 2 tsp. sesame oil in a small bowl to combine. Season shrimp lightly with kosher salt and place in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in half of marinade and seal bag. Transfer remaining marinade to a small bowl and set aside for serving. Let shrimp sit at room temperature, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even coating, 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp from marinade, allowing excess to drip back into bag, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches and adding another 1 Tbsp. oil along the way if the skillet is looking dry, arrange shrimp in skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed 2 minutes (the marinade will have darkened in color and some of the sugars in it will have started to caramelize). Turn shrimp over and cook 30 seconds. Transfer to a platter.
  • Arrange cucumbers on platter next to shrimp; season with sea salt and drizzle with remaining 2 tsp. sesame oil. Arrange lettuce leaves and mint sprigs on platter so that each component is visible and easily accessible. Place crushed peanuts in a small bowl and set out next to platter along with reserved marinade (for spooning into wraps).

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound large shrimp (about 36), peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
12 leaves green curly leaf lettuce
Serrano-Mint Sauce, recipe follows
Chili oil, for drizzling, optional
Fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup tightly packed mint leaves, plus more for garnish
2 serrano chiles, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, toss shrimp in oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until just cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or they will be tough and rubbery. Remove from the grill.
  • Place about 3 shrimp in each lettuce leaf. Drizzle with the Serrano-Mint Sauce and with a little chili oil, if desired. Sprinkle with a few cilantro leaves. Roll up the lettuce leaves, and eat immediately.
  • Place all ingredients, except for salt, in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Season, to taste.
