Chili Glazed Shrimp Skewers Recipes

SPICY-SWEET GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Stir together chili sauce and honey. Assemble kebabs (using 2 long skewers for each, threading 1 skewer through head end of shrimp and 1 through tail end); season with salt and pepper.
• Grill until shrimp begin to turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, brush liberally with glaze, and cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush with more glaze and serve.

PINEAPPLE-GLAZED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups of the pineapple, the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic in a blender and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Pour into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Skim off any foam and reduce heat to low.
• Simmer until glaze is thick and syrupy enough to coat the back of a spoon and has reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in cayenne and set aside to cool slightly, at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a gas or charcoal grill to high (about 400°F) or a grill pan over high heat until very hot.
• Skewer 1 shrimp, making sure to pass the skewer through the thick portion and the tail portion, then skewer 1 piece of the remaining pineapple. Repeat, alternating between the two and leaving a space in between, until you have 3 shrimp and 2 pineapple pieces per skewer. Brush skewers on one side with glaze.
• Rub the grill with a towel dipped in vegetable oil, place the skewers on the grill glaze side down, and brush the other side of the skewers with more glaze.
• Continue brushing and turning every few minutes until the thick portions of the shrimp are white and firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

CHILI-RUBBED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. When hot remove shrimp from marinade and place 3 shrimp per skewer. Place shrimp on a platter and lightly dust shrimp on both sides with the chili rub.
• Grill shrimp for 3 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through.Place skewers on a warm platter. Brush shrimp on each side with the lemon butter. Cover to keep warm.
• Divide the salsa between 6 plates, mounding it in the center. Place 1 shrimp skewer on top of the salsa and brush again with the lemon butter and left over juices from the platter.

CHILI GLAZED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix chili sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, and cilantro; set aside.
• Divide shrimp into 4 equal portions. Lay each portion of shrimp in a neat row with tails pointed in the same direction. Thread 2 thin wood or metal skewers (8 to 10 inches long) about 1 1/2 inches apart through center of each row of shrimp, pushing the shellfish close together.
• Place shrimp on an oiled grill above a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas barbecue (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill.
• Cook, turning once, until shrimp are pink, 2 to 3 minutes a side.
• Brush tops of shrimp with the chili sauce mixture, turn over, and cook just until glaze bubbles and browns slightly, about 30 seconds (watch closely; glaze burns easily). Brush tops with more chili mixture, then turn glaze down and cook just until it darkens slightly, about 30 seconds more.
• Transfer shrimp to plates or a platter. Season to taste with remaining chili mixture and juice from lime wedges.
