Orange Grilled Shrimp With Cocoa Nib Gremolata Recipes

BAKED MUSHROOM RIGATONI WITH KALE GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the pasta: Cook the rigatoni in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, about 3 minutes less than the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. Sear the mushrooms, undisturbed, for 3 minutes; stir, and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Sear on the reverse side an additional 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the pan.
• Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the Dutch oven. Add the garlic and flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and simmer gently until the sauce just thickens, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the Parmesan, Gruyere and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool slightly, then add half of the seared mushrooms, and puree with an immersion blender.
• In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the sauce and the remaining half of the mushrooms, adding about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water or more if desired. Transfer to a baking dish.
• For the gremolata: In a medium bowl, combine the kale, Gruyere, panko, smoked almonds, olive oil and lemon zest.
• Scatter the gremolata over the pasta and bake until golden on top and bubbling, about 40 minutes.

ORANGE GRILLED SHRIMP WITH COCOA NIB GREMOLATA

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Combine the orange zest and juice, chili paste, salt and olive oil in a medium bowl; mix well. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
• For the gremolata: Meanwhile, mix together the cocoa nibs, pistachios, parsley, orange zest, olive oil and salt in a small bowl.
• To grill the shrimp: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Thread the shrimp onto 12-inch bamboo skewers, 2 per skewer. Grill the shrimp until opaque all the way through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp skewers to a platter, drizzle with the gremolata and serve.

ORANGE-AND-THYME GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine shrimp, 1 teaspoon zest, 1/4 cup juice, garlic, oil, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours). Soak eight 8-inch wooden skewers in water 30 minutes before cooking.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, remaining 1/2 teaspoon zest, remaining 1/4 cup juice, and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme; season dipping sauce with salt and pepper.
• Heat grill to medium; lightly oil grates. Thread shrimp onto skewers, and grill, turning once, until shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve shrimp with dipping sauce.
