Best Grilled Chile Lime Shrimp Recipes

GRILLED CHILE-LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except shrimp and stir well.
• Peel shrimp except for tail, and devein. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place shrimp in large resealable bag. Add marinade. Through bag, rub marinade into shrimp. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Halfway through, turn bag and give shrimp another marinade massage. (Do not marinate longer than 20 minutes, or the acidic lime juice will cook the shrimp).
• Place shrimp on cutting board and nestle them together in groups of six. Using 2 bamboo skewers for each group, skewer the shrimp together (this is for nice presentation, keeps shrimp from falling into the grill and makes them easier to turn). NOTE: Soak bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes prior to use, to keep them from burning.
• Grill shrimp on an oiled grill rack 2 minutes per side, or until opaque.
• (Serve with Toasted Couscous with Grilled Mango and Zucchini).

ARUGULA SALAD WITH GRILLED TAMARIND SHRIMP AND CHILE-LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with cold water and soak the arugula to remove any dirt and sand. Once clean, pat the greens dry and place in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the vinaigrette, just enough to coat the greens. Equally divide the arugula and place into 4 shallow bowls. Arrange 3 shrimp on top of the greens and garnish with the jicama, corn, tomatoes, and fried wonton wrappers.
• In a food processor, add the sesame oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, chile flakes, and fish sauce. While the processor is running, slowly add the oil. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar. The vinaigrette should be tart, but hold a hint of sweetness.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the tamarind, mirin, hot water, molasses, garlic, lime juice, and sriracha. Pour the mixture into a shallow sheet pan and add the shrimp, turning to coat. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 1 to 2 hours maximum, refrigerated. Prepare a hot grill or a 500 degree oven and grill/broil the shrimp for about 5 minutes.
