Grilled Shrimp Scampi
They can be left slightly undercooked since they will cook longer in the butter sauce.
Ingredients:
- 12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 10 cloves garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon leaves
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh italian parsley leaves, plus extra for garnish
Directions:
- Put the shrimp in a large baking dish.
- Combine the canola oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and fennel seed in a small food processor and process until the garlic is somewhat paste-like. Pour this mixture over the shrimp and let them marinate for 30 minutes.
- Light a grill to high heat.
- Strain the shrimp from the marinade and season them with salt and black pepper, to taste. Grill the shrimp on both sides until they are slightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side (see Cook's Note). Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
- Melt the butter in a large saute pan set over the grates of the grill. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, tarragon and thyme leaves and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, tossing once, about 1 minute. Finish with the parsley and adjust the seasonings, if necessary. Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with thyme and parsley.

Salmon
These marinated salmon bites make a quick crowd-pleasing appetizer. Pink peppercorns offer a bit of spice and a slightly floral flavor, but freshly ground black peppercorns work well too. (Since black pepper has a stronger flavor, you’ll need just a quarter of the amount.) This appetizer can be served with toothpicks and a light creamy sauce for dipping, or as a main dish served on a bed of brown rice. Leftovers can be used to top a green salad or stuffed into pita bread with lettuce and tzatziki for an easy sandwich.
