All In One Grilled Shrimp Skewers With Rice Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic in a resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to combine.
• Add the shrimp to the bag and seal. Toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
• Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. You don't want to marinate for longer than that, as the acid in the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp.
• Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
• Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
• Broiler directions: Preheat the broiler. Place the shrimp skewers on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray. Broil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high; oil the grates. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon curry paste and the vegetable oil. Let sit at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon curry paste, the peanut butter, vinegar, ginger brine, 2 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until smooth and thick. Add the cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, most of the cilantro, the ginger and a generous pinch of salt; toss well until the sauce loosens. Cut the noodles into shorter pieces with kitchen shears and add to the vegetables; season with salt and toss well.
• Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on top of the noodle mixture. Top with the remaining cilantro.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
• Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Combine all of the ingredients except the shrimp in a medium bowl; whisk together. Add the shrimp and toss to combine. Let marinate in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours, if time allows. Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water so they don't burn on the grill.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or a grill pan for high heat. Thread about 4 shrimp onto each skewer, reserving the marinade for basting. Grill the shrimp until just firm, brushing with the marinade, 1 to 2 minutes per side (up to 3 minutes per side, if using a grill pan).
• For the rice: In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the rice and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the rice smells a little nutty and is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook the rice according to the package directions (usually 15 to 25 minutes). Fluff the rice with a fork then fold in the cucumber, cilantro, scallions, olive oil and vinegar. Taste for seasoning.

Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the soy with the lime juice and zest; reserve half in a separate small bowl. Brush or drizzle one of the portions of soy-lime over the shrimp. Cook on the griddle until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Brush the shrimp with the remaining soy-lime. Add a touch of olive oil to the shrimp after flipping to avoid sticking.
