GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ORANGE GLAZE



Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Orange Glaze image

The secret ingredient in these quick and tangy grilled shrimp skewers is orange-juice concentrate, which brings a sweet-tart intensity to the basting mixture that is balanced out by savory onion, sharp pickled jalapeños, and earthy thyme.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
3/4 cup minced onion (from 1 small)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups orange-juice concentrate, thawed (from a 12-ounce container)
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños
24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (1 pound)
4 thick slices rustic bread, such as pan Pugliese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add orange concentrate and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook until syrupy and reduced to a scant 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar and jalapeños; cook 1 minute. Let cool 10 minutes. Set aside 1/4 cup glaze for serving.
  • If using wooden skewers, first soak in water 30 minutes, then drain (to prevent burning). Lay 6 shrimp side by side; slide a skewer through head ends to secure together. Thread a second skewer through tail ends. Spread shrimp slightly so there are small gaps between them. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Preheat grill to high; brush grates with oil. Grill bread, flipping once, just until lightly charred and crisp in places, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to a platter or board; brush with oil.
  • Brush shrimp with half of remaining glaze and grill, turning once, until opaque and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Brush with more glaze, turning a few times to caramelize, until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from grill and brush with some of reserved glaze. Serve over grilled bread, with remaining reserved glaze on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen shrimp.
  • Devein the shrimp: Deveining the shrimp will remove the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice will help to infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat: High heat will help to quickly cook the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a grill pan or skewers: A grill pan or skewers will help to evenly cook the shrimp and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Baste the shrimp with the glaze: Basting the shrimp with the glaze will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Chili glazed shrimp skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The shrimp are marinated in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, then grilled and glazed with a sweet and spicy chili sauce. The shrimp are tender and flavorful, and the glaze is perfectly balanced between sweet and spicy. Serve the shrimp skewers with rice or your favorite side dish.
