Dill And Garlic Shrimp Skewers Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat a grill to high. Thread 3 shrimp onto 2 skewers (so that the shrimp lie flat). Repeat with remaining shrimp. Brush with oil and season with paprika and salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, mustards, and dill in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Put the shrimp on a platter and immediately drizzle with the mustard vinaigrette.
• Combine the yogurt, olives, oregano, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor and process until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the shrimp with sauce on the side.

Steps:

• In a saucepan of boiling water boil the garlic for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is tender but not soft, drain it, and discard the peel carefully, leaving the cloves whole. In a bowl whisk together the dill seeds, the fresh dill, the lemon juice, and the red pepper flakes, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the marinade until it is emulsified. Onto the end of each skewer thread a shrimp and 1 garlic clove. Arrange the skewers, shrimp end down, in a bowl just large enough to hold them. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, and let the shrimp marinate, cover loosely and chilled, basting them occasionally, for 3 hours. Drain the shrimp, arrange them in a shallow baking pan, and bake them in the upper third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are just cooked through.
