Agave Glazed Shrimp Recipes

ORANGE AND HONEY GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the orange juice, zest, honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium.
• In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch. Whisk mixture into the saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes until thickened and bubbly.
• Keep sauce warm on medium-low heat while sautéing the shrimp.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or high-rimmed, large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
• Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add half of the shrimp to the pan. Cook until just opaque in center, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Transfer shrimp to a medium bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Ditch oil in the skillet and wipe with a paper towel.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Repeat cooking the remaining shrimp, about 2 minutes per side.
• Return the first batch of shrimp to the pan. Stir in the orange honey glaze.
• Remove pan from heat. Add green onions (reserve some for garnish), parsley and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve shrimp with cooked rice. Garnish with extra parsley, cilantro and sliced green onions. Enjoy!

HONEY-GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make sure shrimp are fully thawed and well drained. Keep in the refrigerator while you make the marinade.
• Whisk garlic, honey, ginger, soy sauce, and fish sauce together in a bowl.
• Add shrimp and toss thoroughly with a spatula for 2 minutes until completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes; toss occasionally while marinating.
• Brush a large nonstick skillet with oil and heat over high heat until you begin to see small wisps of smoke. Use tongs to immediately transfer shrimp into the hot skillet in a single layer. Set excess marinade aside.
• Sear shrimp for 2 minutes, then flip over. Dump in marinade and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat and flip shrimp once more; let sit for about 1 minute. The marinade in the pan will reduce down to a beautiful glaze just from the residual heat in the pan. Garnish with green onion.

CHIPOTLE-GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, cumin and oregano; stir 1 minute. Transfer mixture to blender. Add 1 cup water, vinegar and chipotles to blender; purée until smooth. Transfer half of puree to medium bowl; cool. Add shrimp to bowl; toss to coat. Cover; chill 2 hours.
• Pour remaining purée into heavy medium saucepan. Add orange juice and brown sugar. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until glaze is slightly thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove shrimp from marinade; pat dry with paper towels. Brush shrimp with some orange juice glaze. Grill shrimp until opaque in center, brushing occasionally with more glaze, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.
