Ingredients
4 medium beets, scrubbed well
1 pound large shrimps, shelled
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
4 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons ½-inch-length chives
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wrap the beets in two layers of aluminum foil and roast until fork-tender, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Cool, peel and cut the beets into ½-inch sticks.
- Step 2
Toss the shrimps in a mixture made from 1 tablespoon of the oil, half of the grated ginger and 1 tablespoon of the vinegar. Marinate for 1 hour.
- Step 3
Heat the grill. Sprinkle the shrimps with 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste. Grill until just opaque, about 5 minutes.
- Step 4
Drizzle the beets with the remaining oil, ginger and vinegar. Add the chives, the remaining salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the grilled shrimp.
