Jumbo Shrimp with Mushrooms and Garlic
Ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp,
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves

Step 1
In a large skillet, cook the garlic in the olive oil over moderate heat until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to a plate. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 7 minutes.
Step 2
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.

Grilled Soy Brown Sugar Salmon in Foil
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Parsley, chopped for garnish
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place the salmon in a large zip-tight bag or shallow glass baking dish and add the marinade, turning to coat the fish entirely. Seal tightly or cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Take a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and remove the salmon from the marinade, laying it skin side down in the center of the piece of foil. Fold the long sides up and then over themselves, repeating with the short sides, to create a sealed packet containing the salmon.
- Transfer the foil-wrapped salmon to the hot grill over indirect heat not directly over the flames and close the grill lid. Cook for 15-18 minutes until almost entirely cooked through. Brush the grill grates directly over the flames with a little oil, then carefully open the foil packet and using one of the long edges of the foil, and flip the salmon directly onto the grill grates over direct heat to char the top. Grill just until cooked through, and grill marks appear (1-2 minutes) being careful not to overcook, the use two large spatulas to remove the salmon from the grill.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
