Grilled red pepper, scallions and lemon transform fat-free mayo into a colorful, flavorful dipping sauce for shrimp. Short on time? Substitute water-packed roasted peppers for the grilled one.
List of Ingredients
1 medium sweet red pepper(s), quartered
3 serving olive oil cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)
1 cup parsley, fresh, leaves (loosely-packed)
1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
7 medium scallion(s), chop 1 and slice the others into 6 pieces each
2 tsp lemon zest, freshly grated
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 medium garlic clove(s)
36 large shrimp, fresh, peeled
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Recipe
1. Preheat grill or grill pan. Coat red pepper with cooking spray. Grill, turning as needed, until lightly charred and tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
2. To make sauce, place grilled pepper, parsley, mayonnaise, 1 chopped scallion, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is blended and ingredients are finely chopped; set aside.
3. Thread 3 pieces each of shrimp and sliced scallions onto each of 12 metal skewers. (Note: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent charring.) Lightly coat shrimp and scallions with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
4. Grill skewers, turning once, until shrimp are just cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes. Yields 2 skewers and about 2 tablespoons of sauce per serving.
