It's been a while since I've tried a new recipe - I got this own from ATBBQ's youtube channel (link at the bottom). I followed the recipe pretty closely but didn't use the dry spices that Chef Tom in the video uses. There's been some chatter/complaining about youtube food channels and their advertisements.... Chef Tom is definitely promoting the line of grills they sell, cooking tools, spices, etc... but at least it's all related to what he's cooking. I think this is one the best Youtube cooking channels out there. Give it a try if you are looking for something new or different.
The chimichurri calls for fire roasting the shallots, jalepeno and green onions.... Green onions go pretty quick so didn't a pic of that but here's the jalepeno and shallot
So I put the chimichurri together with the fire roasted veg and cilantro, parsley vinegar, olive oil and capers... then smeared some on the shimp and while it was marinating, I grilled some red pepper chunks and squash over hardwood lump (Kamado Joe Big Block) Fire was pretty hot so I got grill marks really fast then moved the veg to the indirect parts of the grill and closed the lid for a few minutes.
Here's the shrimp on the barbie (some wild caught gulf shrimp, and some other "organic farmed" shrimp. This was about 1.5 lbs
Here is is, all finished. The big bowl behind the shrimp is red bulgar... this stuff is good for you (tastes better than quinoa) and easy to make. 1.5 cups bulgar added to 1.5 cups of boiling water, kill the heat and walk away for an hour or more...I mixed in some finely chopped green onion, salt, pepper and olive oil.
Here's the finished bowl with some chimichurri on top. The charred veg in the chimichurri sort of dulls the bright flavors of the chimichurri but also lends a little charred flavor... I think it works well with other grilled foods, so I'll probably make it again sometime. I grilled a little more shrimp than the recipe called for but still had plenty of chimichurri. This made dinner for 4 without much left over (I was hungry
).
Here's the link to the video where you can access the recipe in the description and see how Chef Tom does it... Thanks for lookin'
