Categories     appetizer, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 appetizer servings, 4 light main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 extra-large shrimp (1 1/2 pounds), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon each cinnamon, ground cloves and black pepper
Pinch of salt
12 sugar cane swizzle sticks (see note)

Steps:

  • Place shrimp in a mixing bowl and stir in oil, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Marinate 15 minutes while you prepare glaze and skewers.
  • Place ingredients for glaze in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until thick and syrupy, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Cut swizzle sticks in half widthwise, and cut one end off each piece sharply on diagonal. Resulting skewers should be about 5 inches long and 1/4 inch wide.
  • Set up grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. Using a metal skewer, make two starter holes in each shrimp, one toward head end, one toward tail. Insert a sugar cane skewer through holes. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Brush and oil grill grate. Grill shrimp kebabs until cooked, about 2 minutes a side, generously basting with glaze. Serve any remaining glaze as a sauce on the side.
