Rummy Shrimp Recipes

COCONUT-RUM GRILLED SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, rum, and lime juice. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Set aside half of mixture for the glaze. Add shrimp to remaining mixture still in the bowl. Gently coat all shrimp with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• While shrimp is marinating, make your glaze by placing reserved mixture in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Bring to a simmer and while stirring constantly, allow mixture to thicken slightly, reduced to about 1/2 - 1/3 cup. Remove immediately from heat.
• Remove shrimp from refrigerator and thread onto metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. Discard any remaining marinade. Grill shrimp over medium heat, about 2 minutes per side or until shrimp have turned pink. Remove from grill and brush shrimp with glaze. Turn skewers over and brush the other side with glaze. Serve and enjoy!

RUM-GLAZED SHRIMP AND MANGO

Steps:

• Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, rum, sugar, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; stir into lime-juice mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; let cool.
• Thread shrimp onto 8 skewers, using 4 shrimp per skewer. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Thread mango slivers onto 4 skewers, using 2 pieces per skewer. Brush shrimp and mango all over with glaze.
• Heat grill to medium-high; oil grates. Place shrimp and mango skewers on grill; cook, turning once, until blackened in spots and shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining tablespoon lime juice with the oil; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress; toss to coat.
• To serve, divide watercress among four plates; top each with 2 shrimp skewers and 1 mango skewer.

SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP WITH RUM

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a large glass or ceramic bowl and toss with the salt and Tabasco. In a small glass bowl, combine the rum, lime juice, Worcestershire, and cumin. Whisk together and pour the mixture over the shrimp. Toss the shrimp to coat them evenly, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and preferably 2.
• Preheat a grill or broiler to high heat. In a small saucepan heat the butter and olive oil over low heat. When the mixture is hot and foamy, add the garlic and stir for 1 or 2 minutes, until the aroma of the garlic is released. Do not allow the garlic to burn. Remove 2 tablespoons of the marinade from the shrimp dish and add to the garlic mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Remove the shrimp from the marinade with a slotted spoon and discard the remaining marinade. Place the shrimp in a shallow ovenproof dish that will hold them all in one layer. Or, make a single layer of shrimp in the base of individual gratin dishes. Pour an equal amount of the garlic mixture over each, and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. Broil the shrimp about 4 inches from the heat source until golden and bubbling, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then squeeze a little lime juice over each and sprinkle with the parsley.

SHRIMP ON SUGARCANE WITH RUM GLAZE

Steps:

• Trim off the ends of the sugarcane and cut them into skewers. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and then drain and blot dry with paper towels. Skewer the shrimp on the sugarcane.
• Place the brown sugar, butter, rum, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and salt in a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook until the mixture is thick and syrupy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as necessary. Set aside a small amount of the glaze to be used for dipping the cooked shrimp. The recipe can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead to this stage; keep the shrimp in the refrigerator, covered. The glaze can be kept at room temperature.
• Preheat the grill to high. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the shrimp kebabs on the hot grate and grill until cooked, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Generously baste each with glaze once before turning and once before removing from the grill. The shrimp will be firm and white when cooked through. Serve the reserved glaze as a sauce on the side.

• Place the shrimp in a flat dish and pour half of the marinade onto them along with the olive oil. Cover and marinate in the refrigerate for at least one hour or as long as 8 hours.
• Preheat grill or set the top rack of your broiler. If you are broiling the shrimp, line a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup.
• If you are skewering the shrimp, choose fast cooking veggies like 2-inch lengths of scallion, 1/2 inch slices of small zucchini or yellow squash, baby tomatoes, or bite-sized pieces of yellow pepper, and alternate them with the shrimp.
• Cook the kebabs for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Toss shrimp with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Grill or broil the shrimp for 1 minute, brush with the marinade and turn.
