Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Sugar Snap Peas image

Most recently I was able to purchase at a market some really fresh sugar snap peas and was thinking about what I wanted to make with these delicious peas and came up with this. I thought shrimp would go really well with the snap peas and it worked. It was funny as I was preparing this dish my youngest nephew was over and tasted...

Number Of Ingredients 22

MARINADE FOR SHRIMP
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp garlic powder
3 to 3 1/2 Tbsp red hot sweet chili sauce
1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp fire roasted jalapeno's w/chipotle peppers
1 Tbsp honey
1 medium lime, juiced or 3-4 true lime packets
SHRIMP SKEWERS
50-60 medium or large fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
8-10 medium skewers
toasted black sesame seeds
turmeric, ground
salt
FOR SUGAR SNAP PEAS ON THE PLATE
2 to 3 c sugar snap peas
1 -1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
salt and pepper to taste
toasted black sesame seeds
JUST BEFORE SERVING
1 medium lime, for squeezing over shrimp right before servings

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your marinade ingredients
  • 2. Prepare your marinade and place in a bowl or in a ziplock baggie. Clean your shrimp and add to marinade. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • 3. Clean your fresh sugar snap peas. You can steam your peas for 5 minutes or so and just place your shrimp skewers on top of the peas or you can add them to the skewer as well. They cook nicely with the shrimp and still have a nice crunch to them even after grilling. If cooking add your oil, salt, pepper and toasted black sesame seeds after you steam them.
  • 4. Take your shrimp out of marinade and place on skewers alternating the sugar snap peas or just the shrimp themselves. Now, add your sprinkle of tumeric, salt & pepper to taste and toasted black sesame seeds. After placing them on the skewer grill accordingly to the size of shrimp you use. I had a medium shrimp so it was 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • 5. Once shrimp is done remove from grill and plate over the peas and then squeeze fresh lime juice over them right before serving.
