Provided by Brandie Valenzuela

Categories     Main Dish

Number Of Ingredients 5

13.5 ounce can coconut milk
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup spiced rum (can use non-spiced rum, if you prefer)
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 pounds large shrimp (peeled and deveined)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, rum, and lime juice. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Set aside half of mixture for the glaze. Add shrimp to remaining mixture still in the bowl. Gently coat all shrimp with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • While shrimp is marinating, make your glaze by placing reserved mixture in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Bring to a simmer and while stirring constantly, allow mixture to thicken slightly, reduced to about 1/2 - 1/3 cup. Remove immediately from heat.
  • Remove shrimp from refrigerator and thread onto metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. Discard any remaining marinade. Grill shrimp over medium heat, about 2 minutes per side or until shrimp have turned pink. Remove from grill and brush shrimp with glaze. Turn skewers over and brush the other side with glaze. Serve and enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 53m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (12- inch) batons sugarcane, cut into 24 (5-inch long and 1/4-inch wide) skewers
24 jumbo or extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
8 tablespoons butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup dark rum, (recommended: Mount Gay Rum)
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or more to taste
Pinch kosher salt, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Trim off the ends of the sugarcane and cut them into skewers. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and then drain and blot dry with paper towels. Skewer the shrimp on the sugarcane.
  • Place the brown sugar, butter, rum, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and salt in a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook until the mixture is thick and syrupy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as necessary. Set aside a small amount of the glaze to be used for dipping the cooked shrimp. The recipe can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead to this stage; keep the shrimp in the refrigerator, covered. The glaze can be kept at room temperature.
  • Preheat the grill to high. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the shrimp kebabs on the hot grate and grill until cooked, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Generously baste each with glaze once before turning and once before removing from the grill. The shrimp will be firm and white when cooked through. Serve the reserved glaze as a sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter flavor and be more tender than frozen shrimp.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the rum glaze for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse them with flavor.
  • Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the shrimp for a short amount of time: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to cook them for just a few minutes per side.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Rum glazed grilled shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are marinated in a sweet and tangy rum glaze, then grilled to perfection. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and juicy. Serve the shrimp with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
