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:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Use large, fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse them with flavor.
  • Skewer the shrimp. Use wooden or metal skewers to skewer the shrimp. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium heat. Cooking the shrimp over medium heat helps to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best served immediately after cooking. You can garnish them with lemon wedges, cilantro, or parsley.

Conclusion:

Martha Stewart's Shrimp Kabobs with Lemon and Cilantro are a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The lemon and cilantro add a bright and refreshing flavor to the shrimp.
