Summertime means grilling time around our house. This is a shrimp recipe that I especially love. If you like peanut butter, you have to give this one a try. Ingredients:
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter |
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
1/2 cup sugar |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1 or more tablespoons water |
11/2 pounds raw shrimp, shells removed and de-veined |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter and soy sauce; blend well.
2. Stir in the sugar, garlic, oil and water; heat until sugar is dissolved. If sauce becomes too thick, thin with more water.
3. Remove enough sauce to brush on the shrimp before, during and after grilling; leave remaining sauce in the pan and keep warm until serving.
4. Thread shrimp on skewers; brush with peanut butter sauce.
5. Grill on a covered grill, over medium-hot coals, for 5 to 6 minutes (turning once halfway through cooking), or until shrimp turn a nice pink – do not overcook!
6. Baste shrimp again after turning them.
7. Brush shrimp with sauce again just before serving.
8. Remove shrimp from skewers and serve with the remaining warm sauce for dipping.
9. NOTE: I've also used this with boneless, skinless chicken breast or pork tenderloin.
