GRILLED HONEY GLAZED SHRIMP



Grilled Honey Glazed Shrimp image

These are great with steaks as a surf and turf

Provided by Stormy Stewart

Categories     Seafood

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c orange juice
3/4 c honey
2 tsp salt
1/3 c lime juice
1/3 c dijon mustard
2 Tbsp chilli powder
2 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp black and red pepper blend
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic or onion powder
30 jumbo shrimp
12 bambo skewers soaked in water 30 minutes

Steps:

  • 1. Place orange juice, honey, lime juice, mustard and dry seasonings in a blender and blend on high for 1 minute until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 12 minutes or until thickened and reduced by half. Divide the glaze into 2 plastic containers, seal tightly and refrigerate until ready to use. Double thread 5 shrimp onto 2 parallel skewers. Cook shrimp over hot coals for about 3 minutes on each side or until completely pink, basting with one container of the glaze during grilling. Remove from grill and baste with remaining glaze.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Fresh, raw shrimp are best for this recipe. Avoid pre-cooked or frozen shrimp, as they will not grill as well.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. Devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut down the back of each shrimp and removing the dark vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp. The marinade in this recipe helps to flavor and tenderize the shrimp. Be sure to marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and slightly pink in the center. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Grilled shrimp are best served hot off the grill. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, or serve them with a dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Honey grilled shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful honey-based sauce and then grilled to perfection. They are juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or salad.
