Grilled Chorizo Shrimp And Beef With Chimichurri Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Heat grill to high.
• Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Thread onto skewers. Grill over high heat, turning once, until curled and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Brush and serve with chimichurri and grilled peppers and tomatoes.

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.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals on two-thirds of grill and scatter remaining coals over remaining area; for a gas grill, set one burner to medium-low heat and the remaining burners to medium-high heat).
• Make the Sour Cream Sauce
• Purée sour cream, cilantro, mayonnaise, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a blender until smooth; chill until ready to use.
• Do Ahead: Sour cream sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• Make the Dressing
• Whisk oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, honey, and salt in a large bowl.
• Grill and Assemble
• Toss shrimp, chili powder, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
• Grill cabbage wedges over direct heat, turning occasionally, until deeply charred on cut surfaces and crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, grill sausages over indirect heat, turning often, until nicely charred and cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Place asparagus onto grill, orienting them perpendicular to grate so they don't fall through the gaps. Grill, turning often, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to platter alongside sausages, leaving remaining dressing in bowl.
• Oil grate again if needed, then grill shrimp over direct heat, turning often, until lightly charred and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to platter with sausage.
• Slice charred cabbage wedges lengthwise into 1/4"-thick strips, then toss with remaining dressing; season with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Add to platter.
• Serve with lime wedges and sour cream sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with EVOO, 2 turns of the pan. Add chorizo and shrimp and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add sliced garlic and toss. Add piquillos and sherry or wine and let it absorb. Add juice of 1/2 lemon and turn off heat.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Spray the tortillas or skillet lightly with oil. Blister a tortilla and flip. Top the tortilla with a layer of the shredded cheeses. Arrange chorizo and shrimp on half the quesadilla and fold over. Press with a spatula to set, turn a few times to melt the cheese and remove to a cutting board.
• To a food processor bowl, add shallots, crushed garlic, 1/4 cup EVOO, vinegar, juice of 1/2 lemon, cilantro, parsley and season with salt and pepper. Pulse to process into sauce.
• Cut quesadilla into wedges and arrange on platter with dollops of chimichurri, Greek yogurt or creme fraiche and pickled sliced jalapeno peppers.
