SUNNY'S GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SUNNY'S 1-2-3 BBQ SAUCE



Sunny's Grilled Shrimp with Sunny's 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 12 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds jumbo shrimp (about 36), peeled and deveined, tails removed, at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sunny's 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
3 shallots, finely chopped
Olive oil, for coating the shallots
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups favorite ketchup (spicy varieties work great here)
1 cup light or dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium low.
  • Arrange the shrimp on the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each one. In a small bowl, vigorously whisk the lemon juice and olive oil. Brush this on both sides of the shrimp and let rest just 1 minute.
  • Put some Sunny's 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce in a bowl for brushing on the shrimp; reserve the remaining sauce in a separate bowl for serving.
  • Grill the shrimp until they just begin to turn color and become only slightly opaque. As this happens, flip the skewers and begin to brush right away with my 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce. Cook until the shrimp are almost completely opaque, just a few minutes more. Remove to a plate and cover lightly with aluminum foil to allow them to finish cooking through from the heat of the grill.
  • Serve with the reserved sauce on the side.
  • In a small saucepot over medium heat, add the shallots and enough olive oil to just coat them. Season with a pinch of salt and more pepper than normal. Saute the shallots until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup and cook until it loses its bright red color, a few minutes more. Add the brown sugar and cook until it dissolves and blends in with the sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Taste again for seasoning. Use everywhere!

Southeast Asian-Style Grilled Shrimp with Aromatic Herbs image

Even more impressive than the presentation is how these grilled jumbo shrimp pack a punch. They're marinated with Asian-inspired ingredients such as sesame oil, lemongrass, hot chile pepper, curry powder, and Thai basil.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 jumbo shrimp, head-on, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh hot chile
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh lemongrass
1/4 cup chopped fresh Thai basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill with the coals placed off to one side. When the coals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
  • Brush shrimp with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Place shrimp on grill near, but not directly over, the coals and cook, turning once, until shrimp are opaque, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and transfer to a large nonreactive bowl.
  • Add ginger, garlic, chile, curry powder, lemongrass, Thai basil, mint, cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar to bowl with shrimp. Toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 6 (first course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup Asian fish sauce*
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 jalapeño chile, sliced into thin rings
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
1 1/2 pounds colossal (under 12 per pound; about 18), or jumbo (16 to 20 per pound; about 24 to 30) shrimp, peeled with tails left intact, deveined
9 scallions, white and light-green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly coarse-ground black pepper
*Called nuoc mam or nam pla; available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.
Special Equipment
about 10 (8-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes

Steps:

  • In small bowl, stir together fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Mix well to dissolve sugar, then stir in jalapeño rings. Set aside.
  • In small bowl, stir together soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and cilantro. Set aside.
  • Prepare grill for cooking: If using charcoal grill, open vents on bottom, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 4 to 5 seconds. If using gas grill, preheat burners on high with hood closed 10 minutes, then turn down to moderately high.
  • Using electric spice grinder, pulse coriander seeds 2 to 3 times to crack. (Alternatively, place seeds on cutting board and crush lightly with small saut pan, using gentle rocking motion.) In large bowl, combine shrimp and scallions. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with coriander, salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Thread shrimp and scallions onto skewers. Grill, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Arrange on platter and serve with dipping sauces.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH HONEY-GINGER BARBECUE SAUCE



Grilled Shrimp With Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce image

Of all the ways to prepare shrimp, the grill delivers the best flavor. Although unadorned "shrimp on the barbie" are great, an easily assembled gingery barbecue sauce makes them that much better. You can save time by buying already shelled and deveined shrimp, but our recipe developer, Alexis Touchet, who grew up in shrimp country in southwest Louisiana, thinks shell-on shrimp are better quality. Depending on where you live and what's in your market, you may not have much choice. Freshness trumps all, so don't hesitate to use your nose in deciding which shrimp to buy.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Sauce:
Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce
Shrimp:
4 pounds jumbo (21-25 per pound) or extra-large (26-30 per pound) shrimp in shell, peeled, leaving tail and adjoining shell segment intact, and deveined (See Cooks' Notes)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
18 to 24 (12-inch) wooden skewers (depending on size of shrimp used), soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • For the Shrimp:
  • If necessary, pat shrimp dry, then thread about 6 shrimp (through top and tail, leaving shrimp curled), onto each skewer, without leaving space between shrimp.
  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high for gas); see Grilling Procedure.
  • Meanwhile, brush shrimp with vegetable oil and sprinkle evenly with salt.
  • Lightly oil grill rack. Grill shrimp, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, 2 minutes. Brush shrimp with some sauce from the saucepan, then turn. Brush shrimp with additional sauce then grill until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen shrimp.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. You can also remove the veins if you wish.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of Asian barbecue sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic will help to infuse them with flavor.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium heat. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Grilled shrimp can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp with Asian barbecue sauce is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of Asian barbecue sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic, then grilled until cooked through. The shrimp can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
