2 tbsp. + 1 tbsp. clarified butter
5 6- 8/lb. count shrimp
2 oz bourbon

4 torpedo or sub buns
2 tbsp. butter, melted
4 leaves leaf lettuce
Special Equipment: 1 Cajun injector
Preheat grill to medium.
To prepare
the salsa, in a bowl toss peppers and onion in olive oil and barbecue
seasoning. On a lightly greased grill, roast red, yellow, green
and jalapeno peppers and red onion until charred all over and tender,
about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from grill and peel any loose skin
from the peppers. Dice the peppers and onion into ¼-inch
pieces and place in a large bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon of
olive oil, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly,
cover and set aside refrigerated for at least 1 hour.
Portion grouper fillets into 4 to 5 oz fillets. Season fillets liberally
with Cajun seasoning, rubbing the spices into the meat to adhere
and set aside. In a bowl combine freshly squeezed lemon, lime and
orange juice and clarified butter. Marinate seasoned grouper fillets
for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the shrimp. Peel the big shrimp out of their shells.
Inject shrimp with bourbon and season liberally with Cajun seasoning,
freshly squeezed lemon, lime and orange juice. Toss seasoned shrimp
in oil or clarified butter until evenly coated. Place the marinated
fillets onto the grill, flesh side down and grill for about 4 to
5 minutes per side until grouper is fully cooked and the flesh is
moist and flakes easily with a fork. Place seasoned and oiled shrimp
onto the grill, once the grouper is about half way through its grilling
time. Grill the shrimp, turning, until charred, pink and slightly
opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
To assemble the sandwich, hollow out the top and base of bun. Brush
the buns with remaining tablespoon of butter and place onto grill
to warm and toast. Remove toasted bun from grill and spread the
Fire Roasted Salsa liberally into the bottom of the bun. Top with
lettuce and a grilled grouper fillet. Remove shrimp from grill,
cut in half lengthwise and lay over grouper fillet. Top with bacon
and a bit more Fire Roasted Salsa. Top with grill toasted top bun
and serve.
