Bbq Shrimp Cocktails Recipes

BBQ SHRIMP WITH COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse shrimp thoroughly in cold water and place in large bowl. Mix cloves, seasoned salt, thyme, mustard, celery salt, pepper, and Neelys seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle shrimp with the seasoning mixture and toss. Add lemon juice and the BBQ sauce and mix thoroughly. Cover and let marinate for 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill to a medium heat. Place shrimp on grill, directly over heat. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side and fully cooked. Serve with cocktail sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
• Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir until combined. Keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
• In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Serve chilled.

GRILLED CHIPOTLE SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak in cold water while shrimp marinates.
• To marinate the shrimp: Put the cilanto, garlic and chipotle with sauce in to a glass or plastic bowl.
• Stir in the olive oil and lime juice.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the shrimp and toss to coat with marinade.
• Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• For the sauce: Whisk together in a glass bowl the ketchup, orange juice, lime juice, worcestershire sauce and chipotles with sauce.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Set aside.
• To cook shrimp: Remove shrimp from marinade.
• Discard marinade.
• The original recipe called for threading one shrimp on each skewer.
• This makes a nice presentation but takes a little longer to prepare!
• I Thread several shrimp, about 4 or 5 depending on the size of the shrimp, on each skewer.
• Place on an oiled grill that has been preheated to medium high.
• Cook for about 2 minutes per side.
• They will turn pink when done.
• DO NOT OVERCOOK!
• I have also done these on my George Foreman Grill without using the skewers.
• (actually, this is how I do it most of the time!) Just throw the shrimp on and cook a couple of minutes.
• Place bowl of sauce in the center of a round platter and arrange shrimp around the sauce.
• Sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
• Enjoy!

LEMON GRILLED SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• 1. Soak 24 10-inch wooden skewers in water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. (This helps prevent their burning on the grill.)
• 2. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
• 3. Rinse the shrimp under cold water. Drain and pat dry. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let rest for 30 minutes.
• 4. Prepare hot coals for grilling or preheat the broiler.
• 5. Thread 16 skewers with 3 shrimp each and 8 skewers with 2 shrimp each. Grill or broil 4 inches from the heat source for 3 minutes per side, brushing once on each side with extra marinade.
• 6. To serve, place a lemon half in the bottom of 8 wine glasses, cut-side down. Into each lemon half, stick 2 skewers with 3 shrimp and 1 skewer with 2 shrimp, balancing them. Insert a rosemary sprig into each lemon half (using an extra skewer to jab a hole, if necessary). Serve the glasses atop small plates with a bowl of my Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise for dipping.
