OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP



Old Bay Marinated and Grilled Shrimp image

These shrimp marinate for only 30 minutes in a flavorful mix of lemon juice, garlic and the powerhouse spice blend, Old Bay seafood seasoning. Don't be tempted to let them sit in the sauce any longer than that because the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp and make them tough. Serve with some boiled or roasted potatoes for a grill-lover's version of a shrimp boil.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large lemon
2 large cloves garlic
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
  • Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH TAMARIND SAUCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Grilled Shrimp with Tamarind Sauce Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-25087

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lb jumbo (8 to 12 per lb) shrimp
3 teaspoons sea salt dissolved in 11/2 cups water
For tamarind sauce
1 tablespoon tamarind from a pliable block
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon chopped cleaned fresh cilantro roots and/or stems, pounded to a paste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Sriracha or other Asian hot chile sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons palm sugar, or to taste
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce (preferably Thai naam pla), or to taste
Garnish: 2 fresh serrano or jalapeño chiles, seeded, halved lengthwise, and finely julienned crosswise; and fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for cooking. Soak shrimp (still in shells) in salt water 5 minutes, then rinse well in a colander. Make sauce: Place tamarind in a bowl with water and rub with your fingers to dissolve pulp. Pour through a sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids, and discard solids. Heat oil in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook cilantro paste and garlic, stirring, until fragrant. Stir in hot sauce, 3 tablespoons tamarind juice, palm sugar, and fish sauce. Simmer until thickened to consistency of light syrup, about 3 minutes. Grill shrimp: Snip shells of shrimp with scissors down center of back, from wide end to second-to-last tail section. Butterfly shrimp in their shells, making a deep incision along length of back where shells are cut, and devein. Grill shrimp on their sides on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until shells are pink and slightly charred and shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, grill shrimp in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderate heat.) Spoon tamarind sauce over shrimp (still in shells) in a serving dish.

SHRIMP IN SPICY TAMARIND SAUCE



Shrimp in Spicy Tamarind Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Fry     Shrimp     Raw     Tamarind     Boil

Yield serves 4 with 2 or 3 other dishes

Number Of Ingredients 11

Flavoring Sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup Tamarind Liquid (page 319)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons Huy Fong brand Sriracha chile sauce
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt
2 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
1 shallot, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 or 4 sprigs cilantro

Steps:

  • To make the flavoring sauce, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, tamarind liquid, fish sauce, and chile sauce and stir to dissolve the sugar. Because tamarind liquid varies, taste the sauce and adjust the flavors, if necessary. Add extra sugar to reduce tartness, fish sauce for more savory depth, chile sauce for extra heat, or water to dilute.
  • Refresh the shrimp by putting them in a colander and tossing them with a liberal amount of salt. Rinse immediately under lots of cold water and press gently to drain well.
  • In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the shallot and garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for about 1 minute, or until they have turned pinkish orange and are half cooked. They will release juice and look shiny.
  • Give the flavoring sauce a stir, pour it over the shrimp, and stir to coat the shrimp. Let the sauce come to a vigorous boil, stirring occasionally to keep the elements moving. The sauce will reduce to a thickish consistency in 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the shrimp and sauce to a deep plate or shallow bowl. Garnish with the cilantro and serve immediately.
  • Refreshing Peeled Shrimp
  • Most shrimp sold in the United States are frozen, so whenever I use peeled raw shrimp in a recipe, I like to return a bit of the sea to them. I do this by tossing the shrimp with a liberal amount of salt, and then immediately rinsing them under cold running water. This simple step gives the shrimp a fresher flavor.

MARINATED GRILLED SHRIMP



Marinated Grilled Shrimp image

A very simple and easy marinade that makes your shrimp so yummy you don't even need cocktail sauce! Don't let the cayenne pepper scare you, you don't even taste it. My 2 and 4 year-olds love it and eat more shrimp than their parents! It is also a big hit with company, and easy to prepare. I make this with frozen or fresh shrimp and use my indoor electric grill if the weather is not good for outside grilling. Try it with a salad, baked potato, and garlic bread. You will not be disappointed!!!

Grilled Shrimp with Spicy Tamarind Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Anita Lo

Categories     Garlic     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Shrimp     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Tamarind     Self

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water 20 minutes
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup tamarind paste (found in Asian markets)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1-2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Heat grill on high. Thread 3 shrimp on each skewer; season with salt and pepper. Dipping sauce: Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Grill shrimp until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp should have a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Use a large skillet or grill pan. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcrowding and sticking together.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent it from becoming overcooked.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with tamarind sauce. Tamarind sauce is a sweet and sour sauce that is perfect for grilled shrimp.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp with tamarind sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled shrimp with tamarind sauce a try.
