¼ cup honey
½ teaspoon lime juice
3 tablespoons spiced rum
½ teaspoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
20 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 (10 inch) skewers

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Pour half the glaze into a smaller bowl for basting. Rinse and pat the shrimp dry, and gently stir into the large bowl to thoroughly coat the shrimp with the glaze.

RUM-GLAZED SHRIMP AND MANGO RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Rum-Glazed Shrimp and Mango Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-81356

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice plus 1 tablespoon (3 limes)
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
1 tablespoon peeled fresh ginger, finely grated
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
32 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 ripe but firm mango, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 8 slivers, each about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grates
2 bunches watercress (about 12 ounces), tough stems trimmed

Steps:

  • Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, rum, sugar, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; stir into lime-juice mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; let cool. Thread shrimp onto 8 skewers, using 4 shrimp per skewer. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Thread mango slivers onto 4 skewers, using 2 pieces per skewer. Brush shrimp and mango all over with glaze. Heat grill to medium-high; oil grates. Place shrimp and mango skewers on grill; cook, turning once, until blackened in spots and shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together remaining tablespoon lime juice with the oil; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress; toss to coat. To serve, divide watercress among four plates; top each with 2 shrimp skewers and 1 mango skewer.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
  • Devein the shrimp: Deveining the shrimp removes the dark vein that runs down the back of the shrimp. This makes the shrimp more visually appealing and easier to eat.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the rum glaze before cooking helps to infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium heat: Cooking the shrimp over medium heat helps to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Rum glazed shrimp are best served immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Rum glazed shrimp are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With their sweet and tangy flavor, rum glazed shrimp are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
