We prefer to cook these shrimp with the shell on, but shelled shrimp work great too. Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 2 oranges) |
1/2 cup fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon red chili paste |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
2 garlic cloves |
3 scallions, green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 chipotle chile in adobo |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 lbs extra-large shrimp, deveined (16 to 20-count size) |
Directions:
1. Put the orange juice, cilantro, chili paste, olive oil, garlic, scallion, chipotle, and salt in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade and blend until smooth. Should be a thick consistency.
2. Place the shrimp in a resealable freezer bag and pour the orange juice mixture over the shrimp.
3. Chill in a refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours but no longer.
4. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade.
5. Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are opaque in the centers, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
