FIRECRACKER SHRIMP
Steps:
- Peel shrimp, leaving head and tail on. Place barbecue sauce in skillet and set on medium heat. Place shrimp in skillet and cook until they turn pink, approximately 2 minutes on 1 side, and 1 1/2 minutes on the other side. Remove shrimp from skillet and place on plate, pouring any extra sauce from the skillet on top of the shrimp. Drizzle a small amount of horseradish sauce on top of the shrimp and serve.
- Place onions in a food processor with the motor running and then add 1/2 cup of orange juice. In a large pot, melt butter on medium heat and add the onion puree. Add the 1 1/2 cups of orange juice and the rest of the ingredients. Stir and cook on low heat for approximately 25 minutes.
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Tips:
- Choose fresh seafood or poultry. Marinating can enhance the flavor of your dish, but it won't make bad seafood or poultry taste good.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs in your marinade. This will give your seafood or poultry a more complex flavor.
- Let your seafood or poultry marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. Over-marinating can make your seafood or poultry tough.
- If you're using a marinade with acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, be sure to add some oil to the marinade as well. This will help to prevent the acid from damaging the seafood or poultry.
- When you're ready to cook your seafood or poultry, drain the marinade and pat the seafood or poultry dry. This will help to prevent the marinade from burning.
Conclusion:
Firecracker marinade is a great way to add flavor to your seafood or poultry. It's easy to make and can be used on a variety of dishes. Whether you're grilling, baking, or frying your seafood or poultry, firecracker marinade will help you create a delicious and memorable meal.
