grilled shrimp with harissa
Updated on Jan 26, 2014
I love shrimp just about any way it can be served. I must say thought that I have gotten over shrimp coctail and to a lesser extent coconut shrimp. In my search for really yummy shrimp recipes I came across this one. I have tweaked it a little but the original thought is still there. Enjoy. Sorry I have never taken a picture of it.

How To Make grilled shrimp with harissa
-
Step 1Start by cleaning and deveining the shrimp. Leave a little of the tail on for a handle. This is a finger food after all. When deveining try not to cut too deep. We don't want these butterflied.
-
Step 2Turn on the grill to medium high heat. Mix shrimp, olive oil, harissa and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Toss to cover everything.
-
Step 3Grill the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side. Shrimp are done when they go from translucent and spoungy to white and firm. Do not overcook the shrimp. That would be a shame.
-
Step 4Remove the shrimp to a plate and let cool. This is a cold dish. When ready to serve coarsly chop the basil and cilantro. Put the shrimp, cilantro,basil and thinly sliced radishes into a large bowl and toss with a little pepper and another pinch of salt.

Step 5If you don't like really hot things reduce the amount of harissa a little, maybe down to 2 tabelspoons. If you don't like radishes this works well with thinly sliced jicama too or if you are feeling really adventerous try blanched and cooled celery root julienned.
