Make this zippy, change-of-pace recipe from our Test Kitchen for a lip-smacking cilantro sauce that really dresses up grilled shrimp. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups fresh cilantro leaves |
4 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot |
2 garlic cloves, peeled |
3 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil |
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice |
12 uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning |
Directions:
1. In a small food processor, combine the cilantro, ginger and garlic; cover and process until cilantro and garlic are chopped. While processing, gradually add oil and lemon juice in a steady stream until smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl; set aside.
2. Thread shrimp onto four metal or soaked wooden skewers. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
3. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once. Serve with cilantro sauce. Yield: 4 servings.
