GRILLED SHRIMP WITH HONEY-GINGER BARBECUE SAUCE



Grilled Shrimp With Honey-Ginger Barbecue Sauce image

Of all the ways to prepare shrimp, the grill delivers the best flavor. Although unadorned "shrimp on the barbie" are great, an easily assembled gingery barbecue sauce makes them that much better. You can save time by buying already shelled and deveined shrimp, but our recipe developer, Alexis Touchet, who grew up in shrimp country in southwest Louisiana, thinks shell-on shrimp are better quality. Depending on where you live and what's in your market, you may not have much choice. Freshness trumps all, so don't hesitate to use your nose in deciding which shrimp to buy.

GRILLED PORK KEBABS WITH GINGER MOLASSES BARBECUE SAUCE



Grilled Pork Kebabs with Ginger Molasses Barbecue Sauce image

Categories     Ginger     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Vinegar     Pork Tenderloin     Hot Pepper     Spring     Summer     Grill     Molasses     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 14

For barbecue sauce
6 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses (regular or robust; not blackstrap)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh serrano or other small hot green chile (1 or 2), including seeds
1/2 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
For pork
1 (1-lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
about 30 (8-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Make barbecue sauce:
  • Stir together all sauce ingredients in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Transfer sauce to a medium bowl and cool to room temperature.
  • Prepare and grill pork kebabs:
  • Put tenderloin on a cutting board. Starting about 5 inches from narrow end of tenderloin and holding a large sharp knife at a 30-degree angle to cutting board, cut a thin slice (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick) from tenderloin, slicing diagonally toward narrow end and cutting through to cutting board. Continue to cut thin slices from tenderloin following same diagonal, starting each consecutive slice closer to wide end. (You will have about 12 slices. Cut any slices more than 2 inches wide in half lengthwise.)
  • Thread 2 skewers, 1 at a time and 1/2 to 1 inch apart, lengthwise through each slice of pork and transfer to a tray lined with plastic wrap.
  • If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle pork slices with salt and brush both sides with barbecue sauce, then grill on oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes total. Discard any leftover sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 racks St. Louis-style spareribs (3 to 3 1/4 pounds each)
2 tablespoons scotch, whiskey or bourbon (optional)
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons scotch, whiskey or bourbon (optional)
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Asian chili-garlic sauce
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the ribs: Place the ribs bone-side up on a work surface. Starting at one end, insert the tip of a knife between the membrane and the bones to loosen the membrane, then pull it off. Flip the ribs so they are meat-side up. Rub each rack with 1 tablespoon scotch, if using. Combine the brown sugar, 5 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, the ground ginger and paprika in a small bowl. Rub the ribs on both sides with the spice mixture. Wrap each rack in heavy-duty foil, then wrap in another layer of foil, making sure the seam is on the opposite side to prevent leaking. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat a grill to medium low (350 degrees F on gas or 335 degrees F on charcoal). Put the foil-wrapped ribs meat-side down on the grates. Grill, carefully flipping the ribs every 30 minutes, until the meat is tender but not falling apart and the tip of a paring knife inserted into the ribs meets slight resistance, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (If using charcoal, add more coals as needed so the temperature stays between 300 degrees F and 325 degrees F.)
  • Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and fresh ginger and cook, stirring often, until just beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. If using the scotch, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the scotch, then return to the heat and cook until almost dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup water, the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, chili-garlic sauce and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and glossy, about 30 minutes; you should have about 1 1/2 cups sauce. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. (You can make the sauce up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate until ready to use.) Divide the sauce between 2 bowls-half for cooking and half for serving.
  • When the ribs are ready, transfer to a baking sheet. Unwrap and discard the foil and any accumulated juices. Brush the meat side with the barbecue sauce and return to the grill, meat-side up. Cover and grill, moving the ribs around to prevent flare-ups, until the sauce cooks in, about 5 minutes. Brush the ribs with more sauce, flip and cook until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the ribs so they're meat-side up again, brush with more sauce and grill 5 more minutes. Flip the ribs again and brush the bone side with sauce, then flip again and brush the meat side one last time. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Cut the racks into individual ribs. Serve with the reserved barbecue sauce.

  • Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Place the pork on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat) and cook, turning occasionally, until fork-tender but not falling apart, 2 hours, 30 minutes to 3 hours, brushing with the sauce occasionally during the last hour of cooking.

GINGER BARBECUE SAUCE

This is what Paul Kir has to say about this sauce:This is as close to my own personal sauce as I'm willing to reveal. It's a classic Kansas City style sauce with a definite flavor kick of ginger. This recipe has never failed me.
