Chili sauce and honey are all you need to build major flavor in this shrimp recipe. The glaze caramelizes on the grill for even more complexity. Feel free to try it with bone-in chicken pieces or beef kebabs, too.

SPICY GLAZED SHRIMP

Sooo easy and sooo good! We couldn't stop eating these! I served it at an all girls' luncheon yesterday and it was the first dish to disappear. One good friend of mine asked for the left over glaze to go! Glaze needs to be refrigerated overnight for flavors to meld.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
5 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 lbs shrimp, size 31 to 40, peeled and deveined, tails on

Steps:

  • Glaze: Place all glaze ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat until butter is melted.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend on high speed until the mixture becomes a smooth paste.
  • Refrigerate overnight before use.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch saute pan over high heat.
  • Add shrimp to the pan and move them around constantly so they will cook completely and evenly.
  • Once the shrimp turns pink, add about 1/2 to 3/4 of the glaze to the pan while moving the shrimp.
  • Allow the glaze to evenly coat all the shrimp and lightly caramelize on the shrimp.
  • Add more sauce if needed, taste to your liking.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp.
  • Serve the shrimp warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best results. Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
  • If you don't have sriracha sauce, you can use another hot sauce of your choice. Just be sure to adjust the amount to taste.
  • The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before using.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
