I came up with this recipe when my daughter grew a beautiful jalapeno plant last summer. I already had cilantro in the garden, so it seemed like a great combination for a tasty sauce. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
dipping sauce: |
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves |
1 cup fat-free mayonnaise |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded |
1 garlic clove, peeled |
1 tablespoon white vinegar |
1 teaspoon sugar |
dash cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cilantro, oil, chives and garlic. Add the shrimp; seal bag and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. In a blender, combine the sauce ingredients; cover and process until blended. Chill until serving.
3. Thread shrimp onto four metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink. Serve with sauce. Yield: 4 servings.
