Seafood Mixed Grill with Red-Pepper Sauce Recipe

Seafood Mixed Grill with Red-Pepper Sauce Recipe

  • 1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and rinsed
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1/2 pound medium shrimp, shelled
  • 1/2 pound sea scallops
  • 4 (4 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets
  1. In a food processor or blender, puree the red peppers and garlic with the vinegar, parsley, sugar, 3 tablespoons of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  2. Light the grill or heat the broiler. Thread the shrimp on four skewers and the scallops on four skewers. Coat the shellfish with 2 teaspoons of the oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Coat the salmon with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Grill or broil the fish, turning once, until just done, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for the shrimp, 3 to 4 minutes per side for the scallops, and 3 to 4 minutes per side for a 1-inch-thick salmon fillet (the fish should still be translucent in the center). Serve with the red-pepper sauce.
