Shrimp Piri Piri Recipe

Shrimp Piri Piri

From notyourmomma 15 years ago

Adapted from a Marcus Samuelsson preparation, a little more toned down on heat, added a little more garlic.

6 red bird's eye chilies, seeds and ribs removed ~original recipe called for 8 peppers shopping list
Have successfully subbed fresh jalapeno peppers (only 4) shopping list
1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice shopping list
1 tbsp of fresh parsley shopping list
1 tbsp of fresh cilantro shopping list
4 garlic cloves~original used 2 shopping list
1/2 cup of olive oil shopping list
12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (u 15's are best) shopping list
coarse sea salt shopping list
2 limes, quartered shopping list
12 soft large lettuce leaves such as bibb or boston shopping list

Make sauce first.
In a blender, cmbine chilis, lemon juice, cilantro, parsley and garlic.
Puree until smooth, adding oil and blend til well combined.
Toss the shrimp with half the sauce and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat an additional 2 tbsp of olive oil.
Flash fry the shrimp over medium heat and cook two minutes per side.
Transfer to plate and sprinkle with sea salt.
Squeeze lime quarters over the shrimp.
Spread remaining piri piri sauce over each lettuce leaf, place a shrimp in the leaf and roll up.
Serve immediately.
Have used the sauce and done this with a small strip steak sliced in strips and had a seared rare spicy garlic beef wrap in the soft lettuce. It is equally as good. Quite fine for a low carber, too.

Another great sounding recipes, notcho - you're on a roll today, I see! I love little "bites" I can roll up in crisp lettuce leaves and these marinated shrimp sound like the perfect match for it - something a little "cool" to calm down the heat. A "must try"!!
