Spicy Glaze For Chicken Or Prawns Recipes

SPICY HONEY LIME SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat skillet over MED HIGH heat. Add oil and butter. Season shrimp with salt, pepper, chili powder and cayenne.
• Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to cook the shrimp in batches, depending on the size of your skillet). Cook, 2 minutes per side, until pink and golden brown. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate.
• Reduce heat to MED. Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl, then add to the hot skillet.
• Stir and let cook a minute or so, until bubbling. Add shrimp back to pan and stir to coat.
• Serve with lime wedges and minced cilantro if desired.

SPICY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and pound to an even ½-inch thickness with a heavy skillet or meat pounder.
• In a large (12-inch) skillet, combine the oil, almonds and garlic. Season with salt, then set over high heat. Once the mixture starts to sizzle, reduce heat to medium and cook, swirling occasionally, until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the almonds and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. (Keep the oil in the skillet.)
• Set the skillet over medium-high. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt, then add to the skillet and cook until browned underneath and opaque halfway up the sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and transfer the chicken to a plate, seared side up.
• With the skillet still over low heat, add the tomato paste and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up browned bits, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the skillet, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken, as well as any accumulated juices, seared side up to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. (The moisture from the chicken will keep the tomato paste from burning, but if you're concerned, add a teaspoon of water as a preventative measure.)
• Uncover, add the lemon juice, then flip and drag the chicken through the tomato-lemon glaze to coat all sides. Transfer to plates, spoon over any remaining glaze and sprinkle with the fried almonds and garlic.

SPICY GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Glaze: Place all ingredients in a bowl and place over boiling water until butter is melted. In a blender of a food processor, blend on high speed until the mixture becomes a smooth paste. Refrigerate overnight before use.
• For the shrimp: Make a small incision in the outside of the backside of the shrimp. Working with the shrimp's natural curvature, poke the tail of the shrimp up through the incision to expose the tail. Pull the tail completely through the whole so that the tail can easily serve as a toothpick.
• To assemble: Heat cooking oil in a large saute pan over high heat - cooking oil should coat the bottom of the pan. Add half the shrimp to the pan to cook. Move them around constantly so they will cook completely and evenly. Once the shrimp are fully cooked, add 2 heaping tablespoons of the glaze to the pan while moving the shrimp. Allow the glaze to evenly coat all the shrimp and lightly caramelize on the shrimp. Remove the shrimp from the pan. Wash the pan and repeat the process with the next 8 shrimp. Once all the shrimp have been cooked and glazed, garnish them individually with a basil leaf by sticking the leaf in through the incision made for the tail. Serve the shrimp warm or at room temperature.

SPICY GLAZE FOR CHICKEN OR PRAWNS

Steps:

• Warm butter in saucepan or microwave until just barely melted. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cool, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate up to a week or freeze in tbsp size quantities.
• To prepare chicken or prawns: Place about a pound or pound and a half of sauteed chicken pieces or peeled, boiled, drained prawns into a pot. Add about 2 tbsp glaze to the pot and cook over very low heat stirring often to coat completely. Allow it to caramelize slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Adjust the amount of paste according to how spicy you like your food. We sometimes add up to 4 tbsp for this much chicken or seafood.

• Place prawns in a single layer on a foil covered cookie sheet.
• Broil 2" from the heat for 3-4 minutes.
• Turn after 2 minutes.

• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch saute pan over high heat.
• Add shrimp to the pan and move them around constantly so they will cook completely and evenly.
• Once the shrimp turns pink, add about 1/2 to 3/4 of the glaze to the pan while moving the shrimp.
• Allow the glaze to evenly coat all the shrimp and lightly caramelize on the shrimp.
• Add more sauce if needed, taste to your liking.

SPICY-SWEET GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• 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.
