• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade and transfer to the grill. Grill on both sides until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side; the shrimp should be pink and firm.
• Transfer the remaining marinade to a saucepan with 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer; cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• To serve: Make a small salad with arugula and mixed greens in the center of each plate. Top with grilled shrimp, and drizzle over the sauce. Scatter feta cheese and green onions over the top.

SHRIMP AND ROASTED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Peel and devein shrimp. Singe peppers over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened all over. Allow to cool and rub off charred skin. (Don't be afraid to leave a bit of the charring behind; the flavor is essential to the dish.) Stem and seed the charred peppers and cut them into shrimp-sized pieces.
• Heat clarified butter in a large skillet until very hot. Add shrimp and saute briefly until they turn white and pink. Remove and reserve.
• Add shallots to skillet and saute 1 minute without browning. Add tomato puree and bring to the boil. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste and stir until butter is melted. Add peppers and bring to the boil again.
• Return shrimp to skillet to heat through and finish cooking (about 1 minute). Pour mixture into serving dish. Serve over pasta or rice.

Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until peppers are very tender, about 5 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return puree to saucepan. Mix in paprika and sugar. Simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover bell pepper strips and soup separately and refrigerate.) Whisk in cream and pecorino Romano cheese. Season to taste with hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper.

Simmer until liquid is absorbed and grits are thick and tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Whisk in salt, hot pepper sauce, and black pepper. Fold in roasted bell peppers. Spread grits in prepared dish. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
