Thai Shrimp Kabobs With Hot Ginger Sauce image

Adapted from a pamphlet of seafood appetizers I found tucked into one of my sister's cookbooks, with a couple changes. This dish may be prepared ahead and refrigerated, then grilled just before serving; sauce can be prepared ahead and reheated. Serve as an appetizer OR on a bed of rice as an entree, with small dishes of condiments (chopped peanuts, chopped scallions, coconut, etc.) to sprinkle on it. Preparation time does not include marinating time.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup apricot preserves
1 -4 tablespoon soy sauce (start w/ 1 and keep adding until to your taste)

1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon orange juice or 1 tablespoon water

  • Dissolve cornstarch in orange juice and add to apricot mixture.
  • Stir just until sauce thickens.
  • Serve hot with shrimp.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, succulent shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Marinate the shrimp before cooking. This will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender. There are many different marinades to choose from, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear and prevent the shrimp from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best enjoyed when they are hot off the grill.
