1/2 cup canola oil
10 cloves garlic

Steps:

EASY GRILLED STICKY RIBS



Easy Grilled Sticky Ribs image

I'm showing you my favorite way to grill ribs, which of course, is not the same as barbecued ribs. Those are cooked low and slow in a smoker and served as-is, with BBQ sauce on the side. Whereas, these are cooked first, then sliced, and then each rib is glazed with our beautiful sticky sauce on the grill.

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Pork Ribs

Time 5h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 teaspoons kosher salt
4 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 racks baby back pork ribs
⅓ cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Mix salt, sugar, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Line a large sheet pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place rack of ribs on the prepared pan, bone side down. Poke all over with a sharp knife. Make shallow slits across at an angle, and then repeat the opposite way; this allows the dry rub to penetrate. Coat on both sides with rub; flip back over, ensuring the bone side is down. Wrap tightly with foil.
  • Transfer to the center of the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very ashy and hot.
  • Remove from the refrigerator, unwrap, and brush off excess fat. Slice between the bones to separate each rib.
  • Combine ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and cayenne with a spoon in a bowl for glaze.
  • Place ribs on the preheated grill and cook for 2 minutes; flip and brush over glaze. Flip and repeat process until ribs are as caramelized as you prefer, about 10 minutes more.
  • Remove to a plate and brush over one more application of glaze. Serve.

SHRIMP SCAMPI



Shrimp Scampi image

Garlicky, buttery shrimp scampi is an Italian-American restaurant staple that takes little more than a skillet and 15 minutes of your time to make at home.

Provided by Lidia Bastianich

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 shallots, peeled and chopped (about ½ cup)
7 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds extra-large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs, if needed

Steps:

  • Combine the shallots, five garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a mini-food processor. Process to make a smooth paste.
  • Pour 6 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining garlic into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Let the garlic sizzle for a minute, then add half of the shrimp and all of the thyme sprigs. Season with ½ teaspoon salt, and cook until the shrimp are seared but not fully cooked, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate, and repeat with the remaining shrimp and another ½ teaspoon salt. Remove the shrimp and thyme from the skillet to the plate.
  • Add the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic-shallot paste to the same skillet set over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the paste has dried out and begins to stick to the bottom of the skillet, about 2 to 3 minutes. Return the thyme to the skillet, and pour in the white wine, lemon juice, the remaining 1½ teaspoons salt, 4 tablespoons of the butter, and 1 cup water. Bring the sauce to a rapid boil, and cook until reduced by half, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • When the sauce has reduced, whisk in the remaining butter and return the shrimp to the pan. Cook and toss until the shrimp are coated with the sauce and just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. If the sauce still seems too thin, stir in the bread crumbs and bring to a boil just to thicken. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking to remove any impurities.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout.
