Fiery Grilled Shrimp With Honeydew Gazpacho Recipe
Cold soup and hot shrimp: The blend of honeyed sweetness with intensely savory vegetables makes this dish refreshing and a delightful combination for warm nights.
Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe honeydew, seeded
- 1 small fennel bulb, coarsely chopped
- 1 celery heart stalk, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 English cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 2 jalapeƱos, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
- 1 fresh green Thai chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus more to taste and wedges for serving
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar, plus more to taste
- Crushed red chile flakes
- 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, very thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
- 1 pound large (16- to 20-count) shrimp, shelled and deveined
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Cut away the honeydew rind and the dark green flesh close to the rind. Cut the honeydew into 1-inch chunks. You should have 4 cups of melon.
Put the melon in a blender along with the fennel, celery, cucumber, and jalapeƱos. Blend on low speed until almost smooth. Strain through a medium-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids. Stir in the minced chilies, lime juice, salt, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cover tightly and refrigerate until very cold.
When ready to serve, heat your grill on high until very hot.
Sprinkle salt, chile flakes, and the mint all over the shrimp, then gently press in the seasonings. Drizzle a little oil all over the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, flipping once, until just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes. Skewer to serve if desired.
Divide the cold soup among cold serving bowls. Serve the hot shrimp on small plates next to the bowls. Drizzle a little oil over the soup and shrimp. Garnish the soup with mint and squirt a little lime juice over the shrimp. Serve immediately.
The combination of cold soup and hot shrimp makes this a refreshing dish for warm nights.
Next week we will share a Goat Cheese Quesadillas With Tomato and Corn Salsa that will set you glamp party on fire...
