Shrimply Irresistible from Crazy Plates image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 skewers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

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 of fresh mint, chopped (or cilantro)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, olive oil, ketchup, garlic, coriander, and cumin.
  • Pour over shrimp in glass baking dish or ziploc bag.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour. Soak wooden skewers if you want to do skewers. (I find this the best).
  • 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.
  • Remove shrimp from marinade and thread 4 pieces onto each skewer.
  • Grill over medium-high grill for 3 to 4 mins per side basting with extra marinade.
  • Serve and enjoy.
