Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 10 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 3 limes), plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger (from one 1-inch piece)
2 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, chopped
2 small garlic cloves
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
20 large shrimp (about 11 ounces)

Steps:

  • Blend lime juice, curry powder, cumin, sugar, ginger, scallions, garlic, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a blender or a food processor. With machine running, add oil in a slow, steady stream to form a paste.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ORANGE GLAZE



Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Orange Glaze image

The secret ingredient in these quick and tangy grilled shrimp skewers is orange-juice concentrate, which brings a sweet-tart intensity to the basting mixture that is balanced out by savory onion, sharp pickled jalapeños, and earthy thyme.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
3/4 cup minced onion (from 1 small)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups orange-juice concentrate, thawed (from a 12-ounce container)
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños
24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (1 pound)
4 thick slices rustic bread, such as pan Pugliese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add orange concentrate and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook until syrupy and reduced to a scant 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar and jalapeños; cook 1 minute. Let cool 10 minutes. Set aside 1/4 cup glaze for serving.
  • If using wooden skewers, first soak in water 30 minutes, then drain (to prevent burning). Lay 6 shrimp side by side; slide a skewer through head ends to secure together. Thread a second skewer through tail ends. Spread shrimp slightly so there are small gaps between them. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Preheat grill to high; brush grates with oil. Grill bread, flipping once, just until lightly charred and crisp in places, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to a platter or board; brush with oil.
  • Brush shrimp with half of remaining glaze and grill, turning once, until opaque and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Brush with more glaze, turning a few times to caramelize, until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from grill and brush with some of reserved glaze. Serve over grilled bread, with remaining reserved glaze on the side.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP WITH APRICOT GINGER GLAZE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Spicy Grilled Shrimp With Apricot Ginger Glaze Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-114543

Number Of Ingredients 26

8 small dried chilies (1-2 inches long) to make 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped chili flakes
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock (broth can be substituted)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/3 cup (250 g) polenta
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup coconut milk
6 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil (for grilling)
8 ounces apricots, skins removed, halved and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 slices of ginger, peeled, 1/4- inch slices
1/2 cup diced apricot, small pieces
1/2 cup diced tomato, seeds removed
1/2 cup diced avocado
1/4 teaspoon finely diced Serrano chili, add more if you like more heat
1 tablespoon thinly sliced mint leaves
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 pounds jumbo shrimp (16-20 count size), peeled, tail on, deveined, washed
Ground chili pepper
Smoked paprika
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Chili Oil: Remove stems and seeds from the dried chili. Wearing gloves, chop chili into large flakes, or add to a blender for about 1 minute. Reserve. Heat oil in a small saucepan, until the temperature of the oil reaches 225°F to 240°F. Remove from heat. Add the chili flakes and let infuse for at least 1 hour. Strain chili oil through a fine mesh strainer. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator, will last for up to 1 month. Coconut Polenta: Combine stock, garlic and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Gradually pour polenta into the pan and cook over low heat, stirring often. Cook for 17 to 20 minutes, until the polenta is quite dry and coats the bottom of the pan. The polenta will become very thick. Warm the cream and coconut milk in a saucepan, be careful not to burn the cream. Increase the heat of the pan with the polenta to medium, and stir in the butter. Add the warmed liquid about a ½ cup at a time, stirring the polenta so it absorbs the liquid. Season polenta with salt and pepper to your liking. In a small sheet tray, lined with plastic wrap. Pour the polenta and evenly spread to a 1-inch thick layer. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap, and roll a rolling pin across the polenta to create a flat surface. Refrigerate for several hours until the polenta has set. To speed up the process, place the sheet tray of polenta in the freezer and check every 15 minutes until the polenta has cooled to the touch and is firm. In the meanwhile, prepare Apricot Ginger glaze. When cooled and set, cut the polenta onto desired shapes (circles, triangles, squares) and transfer to a sheet tray. When ready to serve, heat grill to high heat. Lightly grease the grill with olive oil. Brush olive oil on both sides of the polenta cut outs. Grill the polenta for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown grill marks are left on the surface and slightly crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a serving platter. Apricot Ginger Glaze: Bring a pot of water to boil. Prepare an ice bath to cool the apricots quickly. Score the bottom of the apricots with a X, making the cuts half the way up the sides , ensuring the cuts just go through the skin. Add the apricots to the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, just until the skin pulls away from the flesh. Quickly add the apricots to the ice bath. Drain and peel the apricots. Halve, remove pit and cut into ½-inch pieces. Puree in a blender for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth. Strain puree though a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the apricot puree, sugar, lemon juice and ginger. Simmer over medium heat, skimming foam as needed until the puree reaches 215°F to 220°F. Remove from the heat. Reserve the glaze until ready to grill the shrimp. Reheat glaze if needed before glazing the shrimp. Apricot Salsa- Combine apricot, tomato, avocado, chili, mint leaves and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate. Spicy Grilled Shrimp: Prepare and clean shrimp. Add 5 pieces of shrimp to a skewer. Lightly oil both sides of the shrimp with olive oil. Season both sides of the shrimp skewers with salt, pepper, chili pepper and smoked paprika to your liking. Heat grill to high heat. Lightly grease the grill with olive oil. Add the shrimp skewers to the grill and cook until pink, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Generously brush each size of the shrimp skewers with the Ginger Apricot glaze. To Serve: Add the coconut polenta to the center of the plate. Serve 1-2 skewers, per person (remove the skewers if desired). Lightly drizzle with Chili oil. Serve with apricot salsa.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
  • If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the shrimp skewers in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
  • To make the apricot curry glaze, you can use either fresh or dried apricots.
  • If you don't have curry powder, you can substitute a mixture of ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
  • Serve the grilled shrimp skewers with your favorite sides, such as rice, quinoa, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Grilled skewered shrimp with apricot curry glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are succulent and flavorful, and the apricot curry glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
