Grilled Shrimp Rice Cakes Recipes

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CUCUMBER CILANTRO RICE

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.
• Serve the rice with the shrimp skewers.

GRILLED SHRIMP RICE CAKES

Steps:

• In a food processor pulse shrimp with green onions, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, salt and pepper until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
• Gently mix in rice and egg until well combined. Lightly pack some of the mixture into a 1/4 cup measuring cup; turn out and smooth edges to form patties.
• Repeat with remaining mixture.
• In a shallow dish, place panko crumbs. Turn patties in crumbs to lightly coat, shaking off excess.
• Shrimp can be prepared up to this point, layered in an airtight container between sheets of waxed paper and reserved in the refrigerator for up to 1 day or frozen for up to 1 month.
• Preheat grill to medium-high after greasing well. Brush patties lightly with canola oil. Grill patties for 3 minutes per side or until golden and opaque throughout.
• Stir plum sauce with chili sauce and lime juice. Serve shrimp cakes with chili-plum sauce on the side for dippings.
• NOTE: Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and provides a light, crispy coating for the shrimp cakes.

SWEET AND SOUR GRILLED SHRIMP OVER RICE

Steps:

• Cook rice in water with salt as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, heat gas or charcoal grill. Thread bell pepper, shrimp and pineapple onto four 8 to 10-inch metal skewers.
• When grill is heated, place kabobs on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cover grill; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, brushing frequently with sweet-and-sour sauce.
• To serve, place any remaining sauce in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for about 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Remove bell pepper, shrimp and pineapple from skewers; serve over rice with warm sauce.
