Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the apricot preserves, lime juice, habanero, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Transfer half the sauce to a large zip-top bag and add the shrimp. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Heat a grill to high or heat a large grill pan over high heat. Brush the grates or the pan with oil. Soak bamboo skewers in water and a wedge lime.
- Thread 5 shrimp onto a bamboo or metal skewer (discard the sauce in the bag) and grill until charred on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook, please.
- Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping and lime wedges.
GRILLED SHRIMP WITH ORANGE-HABANERO MOJO
Steps:
- Soak eight 8-inch wooden skewers in cold water for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the mojo: Combine the orange juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, the pickled habaneros, half of the garlic, the cilantro, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl; whisk well and set aside.
- Combine the remaining garlic and 1/4 cup olive oil in a small bowl. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Skewer the shrimp and brush with some of the oil-garlic mixture on both sides; season with salt and pepper. Grill until opaque, about 2 minutes per side, brushing with the remaining oil-garlic mixture. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with the orange-habanero mojo.
Tips:
- Use fresh, large shrimp: The size of the shrimp will affect the cooking time, so make sure they are all about the same size. Fresh shrimp will also have a better flavor and texture.
- Make sure the shrimp are deveined and peeled: This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shrimp and make them more enjoyable to eat.
- Use a hot skillet: This will help to sear the shrimp and create a nice crust. Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the shrimp, or they will just steam instead of sear.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the shrimp will not cook evenly. Cook the shrimp in batches if necessary.
- Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and pink: This will ensure that they are cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: Serve with rice, noodles or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This giant shrimp in habanero sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The shrimp are succulent and flavorful, and the sauce is spicy and tangy. Serve the shrimp with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
