Provided by Aarón Sánchez

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon seeded and chopped pickled habanero chile peppers (or use 1 tablespoon habanero hot sauce)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
16 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 1 pound)

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.
