Jazz On The Grill Seafood Bbq Recipes

GZ'S GRILLED SEAFOOD PLATTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and cook for 8 minutes, then remove to the ice water and let sit until chilled. Slice in half lengthwise, cutting through the shells, and devein.
• Use 2 parallel skewers to thread 4 or 5 scallops, then repeat with the remaining scallops so you have 4 sets of double skewers. Repeat the same process with the shrimp. Thread all 4 lobster tail halves on two more skewers. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
• Stir together the butter, paprika, chili powder, habanero and garlic in a medium pot, then season with salt and pepper. Place over low heat and heat until just melted.
• Combine the capers, cilantro, mint, parsley, tarragon, thyme, chives and lemon zest in a medium bowl and mix. Add half to the melted butter and reserve the rest to garnish the platter.
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray or wipe down with paper towels dipped in canola oil.
• Grill each lemon half, flesh-side down, until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Place all the skewered seafood on a sheet tray and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper; drizzle with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook with the lid open, flipping once, until the scallops and shrimp are opaque in the centers and the lobster tails are just lightly charred and warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove all the grilled seafood to a large platter, then pour about half of the butter mixture over the top. Pour the remaining butter into 4 small ramekins and serve on the side for dipping. Garnish the platter with the remaining herb mixture and serve with the grilled lemon halves.

JAZZ ON THE GRILL: SEAFOOD BBQ

Steps:

• Select the fish you like to eat, Jazz is great on them all however, be sure your selection is suitable for the grill. Some fish grill better than others, if you're unsure, ask your butcher. Excellent selections are salmon, bass, halibut, mahimahi, yellowtail, and lingcod.
• Heat the grill on high. Combine the butter and olive oil in a bowl and set aside. Combine the pineapple, jalapeno, and honey.
• Brush a mix of melted butter and olive oil onto the fillet or fish steak before placing it in the grill. This will cause the flames to rise up, searing in the juices. Brush more of this mixture on the top as it's cooking. Do not overcook, most fish grill quickly. You must adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fish being cooked.
• Flip the fillets or steaks and reapply another brushing of the butter/oil mixture. Once seared, reduce the flame to low and close the lid on the barbecue. Wait a few minutes (until fish is nearly done) and pour the pineapple mixture or Jazz Honey-Jalapeno Pineapple Sauce over the top. Close the lid and cook until the fish is cooked.
• Garnish platter with green leaf lettuce, carefully place fish on the bed of lettuce, and serve. This is a simple and amazingly eye attractive dish. Sit back and enjoy the raves from your guests.

CAJUN BOIL ON THE GRILL

Squeeze lemon juice over top; place squeezed wedges in packets. Fold foil around mixture, sealing tightly., Grill, covered, over medium heat 12-15 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, shrimp turn pink and potatoes are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
