Grilled Roasted Garlic Shrimp Skewers image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound large shrimp, peeled, de-veined and tails removed (about 40 shrimp)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup roasted garlic salad dressing
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Canola oil, for grilling
One 5-ounce package baby arugula
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Thread the shrimp through the skewers at two points, through the neck and tail portion. If you compare the shape of the shrimp to the letter "C" the skewer should go through both the top and bottom section of the "C". You should have 5 shrimp per skewer. Place into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the roasted garlic salad dressing, lemon juice and Italian seasoning. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the salad dressing mixture. Pour the remaining dressing over the shrimp and, using a brush, make sure all the shrimp are completely coated with the dressing. Let sit in the refrigerator for 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Brush the grill grates with a paper towel that has been soaked in canola oil. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cover. Cook until opaque and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
  • While the shrimp are grilling, combine the arugula and tomatoes in a large bowl. Pour the reserved dressing over the arugula, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Place 2 of the shrimp skewers on each plate. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side.

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.
