Grilled Red Pepper Dip with Shrimp

Source: Better Homes and Gardens http://www.bhg.com

Makes 8 servings (about 1-1/2 cups dip)
Prep: 20 Minutes
Chill: 1 Hour
Grill: 15 Minutes Peppers; 9 Minutes Shrimp

Ingredients
2 pounds fresh or frozen jumbo shrimp in shells (about 32)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium red sweet peppers or 16 whole green onions, trimmed
1 8-ounce carton dairy sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions
1. Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact,
if
desired. Thread shrimp onto eight 8-inch skewers, leaving 1/4-inch space
between pieces (you should have 3 to 4 shrimp per skewer). Brush lightly
with some of the olive oil; set aside.

2. Lightly brush sweet peppers or onions with remaining olive oil. For a
charcoal grill, grill shrimp skewers and vegetables on the rack of an
uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill shrimp for 9 to 11
minutes or until shrimp turn opaque, turning once halfway through; grill
peppers for 15 minutes or until charred, turning occasionally. Grill
onions
about 5 minutes or until limp and slightly charred, turning once halfway
through. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place
peppers or onions, and shrimp directly over heat. Cover and grill as
above.) Wrap peppers in foil and let stand about 15 minutes or until cool
and skin loosens. Remove stems and seeds from peppers. Using a sharp
paring
knife, peel peppers. Place shrimp skewers on a tray; cover and chill in
the
refrigerator 1 to 24 hours.

3. In a blender or food processor combine peppers or onions, sour cream,
salt, and black pepper. Cover and blend or process with a few on/off turns
to coarsely chop the mixture. Transfer to a small bowl. (Or, coarsely chop
the vegetables. In a small bowl stir together the sour cream, vegetables,
salt, and black pepper.) Cover and chill in the refrigerator 1 to 24
hours.
Serve dip with shrimp on skewers. Makes 8 servings (about 1-1/2 cups dip).

Is a good recipe but I dont' understand one thing:
You have said at point 2 you must put shrimps in the refrigerator for 1 or
24 hours .
Then, at point 3 you say that minced vegetables and cream must stay in the
refrigerator for 1 to 24 hours, too.
It seams that you put the vegetable cream to refrigerate separating from the
shrimps. Wouldn't be more simple and tasty if you put cream and shrimps
together in the refrigerator for those hours?

The shrimp can be cooked up to 1 day prior, also the dip can be made upto 1
day prior; is what the recipe means. So to save time you can make the
shrimp and/or the dip 1 day or several hours before eating whichever fits
your schedule best. The dip is served in a bowl and the shrimp are dipped
into the dip and then eaten (no double dipping)....they are never mixed
together, the dip is like a condiment for the shrimp. I hope I understood
and answered your concerns correctly.

Oh! Yes I understood! Thank you! I love this recipe beacause I love "Shrimps
cocktail".
Shrimps cocktails sauce is made with a sort of Mayo with some ketchup and
brandy inside. You put in a larg glass some salad leaves "Lattuga romana"
and over this shrimps with sauce. It is served like an "Antipasto".

If you decide to convert this into a shrimp with sauce kinda recipe...make
less of the sour cream dip. I feel that the recipe makes more dip than
you'd need.

Grilled Red Pepper Dip with Shrimp

Source: Better Homes and Gardens http://www.bhg.com

Mr. Incognito:

Your post jogged a recipe loose that i though you might find
interesting.

Red pepper aioli
-------------------

1 pound new potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

1 & 2/3 cups chicken broth

3 red bell peppers, roasted, skin, seeds and stems removed and the
peppers coarsely chopped

8 - 12 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped

juice of 2 lemons

1/3 cup EEVO

cayenne

salt

Place the potatoes and chicken broth in a saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, covered, for 15 minutes, remove the cover and
cook for another 5 -10 minutes, or until all the broth has evaporated.

Place the roasted red peppers in a processor or blender and process
until smooth.

While the potatoes are still hot, add them to the pureed pepper;
gradually add the garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, tasting
periodically, until the desired flavour is achieved and the ingredients
are pureed.

Add cayenne and salt to taste. Cool, covered (to avoid a skin forming),
at room temperature. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
