CHILE-GARLIC MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP



Chile-Garlic Marinated and Grilled Shrimp image

This quick marinade is a cheater's version of Vietnamese nuoc mam cham, which is a mixture of Asian fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and chiles. Using crushed red pepper flakes rather than the fresh variety means less chopping, and finely grating the garlic into the marinade ensures it doesn't burn on the grill.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large limes (about 10 ounces)
2 large cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
1 small scallion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and about 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the fish sauce, canola oil, sugar, red pepper flakes and shrimp. Toss to combine.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime 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, grill the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a large plate.
  • Top with the sliced scallions and cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.

Time 44m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Marinade:
1/4 cup frozen prepared lemongrass or fresh lemongrass (available at Asian stores)
5 cloves garlic
1 thumb-size piece ginger or galangal
1 fresh red chili, or 3/4 teaspoon crushed chili
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (fresh coriander), leaves and stems
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce , or 1 1/2 teaspoons regular soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon shrimp paste (available at Asian stores)
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 heaping teaspoons brown sugar
2 spring onions (sliced)
For the Shrimp:
12 to 18 medium to large shrimp
Optional: 12 to 18 small scallops
Optional: 1/4 cup coconut milk or heavy cream for a side sauce
Garnish: A handful of fresh cilantro (fresh coriander) leaves

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, chili, cilantro, fish sauce, oil, soy sauce, shrimp paste, lime juice, sugar, and onion in a mini-chopper or food processor and blend to create a smooth paste. (Or you can prepare by hand-simply mince the ingredients well and stir together.)
  • Place shrimp and scallops, if using, in a large bowl and pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the marinade over the seafood. Mix, ensuring all the seafood is coated. Reserve any remaining marinade for the side sauce.
  • Marinate the shrimp and scallops, if using, 10 to 12 minutes. If using wooden satay sticks, soak them in water in a shallow baking dish for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Prepare a medium (350°F to 375°F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Remove the seafood from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small bowl. Slide the shrimp and scallops onto the prepared skewers.
  • Grill the skewers, turning once, about 4 minutes total, or until shrimp are pink and plump and have firmed up. Baste the shrimp the first time you turn them with a little of the reserved marinade.
  • If making the side sauce, place reserved marinade from the food processor in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the paste for 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm through. Add the coconut milk , stirring to create a sauce. Taste-test the sauce, adding more sugar if too sour. If too spicy for your taste, add more coconut milk. If too salty, add more lime juice. Add more chili for a spicier sauce.
  • Serve the shrimp hot off the grill garnished with cilantro and the warm coconut dipping sauce.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CHILE AND GARLIC



Grilled Shrimp With Chile and Garlic image

Shrimp are a treat and should be handled as such - and this recipe guarantees grilled shrimp that are reliably juicy, charred and seasoned. First, try this trick from J. Kenji López-Alt for plump meat with a browned crust: Stir a little baking soda into mayonnaise, and season it with salt, garlic and chile, which will intensify in the mayonnaise's fat. Coat the shrimp in the mayonnaise mixture and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes, then grill mostly on one side to avoid overcooking. Eat over grains, lettuces, lemon pasta or noodle salad; in tortillas or pita; or popped right into your mouth. As far as seasonings go, start with chile and garlic, then switch up subsequent batches with lemon zest, Old Bay, ginger and more.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 garlic cloves
1/2 to 1 fresh hot chile, such as jalapeño or Fresno (depending on the chile's kick and your heat tolerance)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
Heaping 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on, patted dry

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat. (If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, with the vent on, following the same timing.) Using a Microplane or the small holes of a box grater, grate the garlic and chile into a medium bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, salt and baking soda. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Clean the grates with a grill brush (no need to grease the grates), then grill the shrimp until well browned, 2 to 4 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the lid to maintain temperature.) Flip and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes. Eat right away.

GRILLED GARLIC SHRIMP



Grilled Garlic Shrimp image

These grilled shrimp receive a double dose of garlic flavor - fresh garlic and garlic salt. Try not to marinate longer than 30 minutes, as the acid from the lemon juice will start to break down the delicate shrimp meat and make it mushy. Extra large shrimp come 26 to 30 shrimp per pound.

Time 51m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
½ teaspoon garlic salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until marinade is smooth, about 20 seconds.
  • Pour marinade into a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag. Add shrimp to the bag and toss to coat with the marinade. Seal bag and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Soak wooden skewers in cold water while shrimp is marinating.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers, 5 to 6 shrimp per skewer. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. Devein the shrimp and remove the shells, leaving the tails intact. This will help the shrimp stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
  • Make sure the grill is hot before adding the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the grates and will also help to create a nice sear.
  • Do not overcrowd the grill. Leave some space between each shrimp so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or lime wedges.

The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and Thai chili peppers. Then, they are grilled until they are cooked through and slightly charred.
