Spicy Surf N Turf Trio Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken, flank steak and shrimp with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Grill the flank steak to the desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium. Add it to the platter with the chicken.
• Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Add them to the platter.
• Grill the scallions until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Add them to the platter.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, garlic and onions. Cook until the onions are golden, about 8 minutes. Add the oregano, cumin, bouillon, sugar and chiles. Stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup water to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the chiles are soft, 2 minutes. Let the mixture cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender, add 1 cup water and blend until smooth. Strain the sauce into a medium bowl.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same saucepan over medium heat. Return the sauce to the pan and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place 2 molcajetes (see Cook's Note) in the oven and heat them for 10 minutes (or use 2 small to medium cast-iron skillets). Using oven mitts, remove them from the oven and carefully transfer them to a heatproof surface (be careful, as the molcajetes get extremely hot).
• Bring the sauce to a boil. Cut the chicken and flank steak into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Arrange the chicken and steak strips, shrimp, scallions and cheese slices around the edges of the heated molcajetes. Pour the boiling sauce into the center. Serve very hot, with tortillas to make tacos.

Steps:

• Cook rice in a large pot of generously salted boiling water, as you would cook pasta, until it is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season each side of the steak with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray the steak with nonstick spray. Add the steak and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking on the other side until browned, 5 minutes more. Transfer the cooked steak to a plate and let rest.
• Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, broken spaghetti, chicken broth, and saffron and cook until the pasta is cooked through, 8 minutes. Drain the rice and add to the pot along with the peas. Stir until warm. Arrange the shrimp on top of the rice, cover and let shrimp steam until shrimp is just cooked through and pink, about 3 minutes.
• While the shrimp cooks, slice steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay over the paella. Remove from the heat. Scatter cilantro and olives over the top and serve warm from the pan.

Steps:

• Score the top and bottom of the flank steak. Mix all ingredients in a gallon zip lock bag. Release as much air as possible from the bag and let marinate overnight. Remove steak from marinade and season with salt and pepper. On a preheated grill, grill over high heat 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
• For the prawns, combine all ingredients in a zip lock bag and shake to coat. It can marinate for up to 1 hour but no longer. Remove the prawns from the marinade and place on preheated grill, turning only once, until curled and pink. Serve with the steak and salad.
• For the salad:
• Combine all ingredients, except the lettuce, tomato, and onion, in a bowl and whisk well to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the heads of romaine lengthwise and brush with a little olive oil. Place on a preheated grill and grill the lettuce, moving it around carefully, until charred and nice grill marks form. Remove the lettuce and tear into pieces. Place in a bowl with the onion and tomato and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with the steak and prawns.
• Presentation:
• Using a plate with a wide lip, place the grilled salad in the center. Then plate slices of steak and prawns alternating around the lip.

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend until combined and smooth. At last, enjoy your Surf N' Sunshine!!

Steps:

• Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, butter, onion, wine, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, and black pepper together in a bowl; add shrimp. Toss to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat steaks with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with steak seasoning.
• Cook steaks until they are beginning to firm and have reached your desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steaks to a platter and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in processor and blend until almost smooth. Spread 1 heaping teaspoon seasoned butter over each side of each steak and over each lobster half. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Transfer remaining seasoned butter to small saucepan.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Set pan with butter at edge of barbecue until butter is melted and warmed through. Grill steaks until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side. Grill lobster, shell side down, 5 minutes. Turn over and grill until meat is just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Transfer steaks and lobster to plates. Serve with warm seasoned butter.
