How to cook deliciously - Citrus-Marinated Shrimp with Grilled-Onion and Orange Salad

1. Stage

In a medium bowl, combine the orange juice with the garlic, adobo sauce and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper; let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2. Stage

Preheat a grill pan. Thread the onion slices on skewers to hold them together. Brush the onions with some of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the slices over high heat, turning once, until softened and charred, about 3 minutes per side. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop the onions and transfer them to a medium bowl. Add the sliced oranges, chipotles, cilantro and the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Stage

Drain and thread the shrimp onto 6 metal skewers. Brush lightly with the remaining olive oil and grill over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Serve the shrimp with the onion and orange salad.

4. Stage

Wine Recommendation: Grilled Shrimp needs a tart white for contrast, one with enough fruit to balance the heat of the chiles and the sharpness of the citrus. That means Sauvignon Blanc, especially lively examples from South Africa, such as the 2003 Neil Ellis or the 2003 Kanu.
