This is a recipe from the Crazy Plates cookbook. I have made it many times to rave reviews. It is a great grilled shrimp recipe and great for hot summer nights. Marinade time says 1 hour but I have left it in the marinade for up to 3 hours with good results. The fruit salsa is wonderful and I usually make this the day before. This recipe is easily doubled. I always double or more this recipe. Prep time includes marinade time. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon ketchup |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
24 jumbo shrimp, peeled |
fruit salsa |
3/4 cup orange section (i use the mandarin oranges) |
3/4 cup granny smith apple, peeled, cored and diced |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 green onions, white part only, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (or cilantro) |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, olive oil, ketchup, garlic, coriander, and cumin.
2. Pour over shrimp in glass baking dish or ziploc bag.
3. Refrigerate 1 hour. Soak wooden skewers if you want to do skewers. (I find this the best).
4. Put all salsa ingredients in a food processor and pulse on and off until mixture is pureed. Put in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
5. Remove shrimp from marinade and thread 4 pieces onto each skewer.
6. Grill over medium-high grill for 3 to 4 mins per side basting with extra marinade.
7. Serve and enjoy.
