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.

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.

These skewers were easy to make and turned out great! The orange glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily adjustable. Overall, a great recipe.
