Broiled Sesame Shrimp With Cilantro Recipes

BROILED MEXICAN-STYLE SHRIMP WITH GARLIC AND LIMES

Steps:

• To prepare the shrimp, with a very sharp paring knife, split each shrimp down the back through the shell.
• Leave the legs intact.
• Open the shrimp (like butterflies) and flatten them; the legs will be on the bottom side.
• Arrange the split shrimp in a single layer on a sheet pan.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready.
• Place the garlic in a small saucepot with enough water to cover them.
• Bring the water to a boil, and then lower to a simmer until the garlic cloves are soft (about 20 minutes).
• Drain the water and refresh the garlic cloves with cold water.
• Allow to cool.
• Mince the cooked garlic.
• Just before broiling the shrimp, combine the minced garlic with the minced serrano chiles, minced cilantro, lime juice and hot melted butter.
• Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator.
• Brush the shrimp with the melted garlic/cilantro butter.
• Place the shrimp under a hot broiler and cook just until the shrimp are done (about 5 minutes depending on the broiler and height of the rack).
• Transfer the shrimp to a platter and drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the shrimp.
• Serve with lots of paper napkins and an empty bowl for the shells.

SESAME SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic powder and lemon-pepper; add shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes., Drain and discard marinade. In a skillet, saute shrimp in remaining sesame oil until shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Serve with rice if desired. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

SESAME CRUSTED SHRIMP WITH CILANTRO-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Toss the shrimp with the vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Dip one side of each shrimp in the toasted sesame seeds. Skewer with a toothpick. I actually threaded several on a metal skewer and dipped one side of that group of shrimp in the toasted sesame seeds at the same time. Much easier and you don't lose seeds while threading since you're doing that part last.
• When the oven is heated, place the skewered shrimp (sesame seeds on top) on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 6 to 10 minutes (depending on your oven), until the shrimp are firm to the touch.
• For the dipping sauce, put the remaining ingredients into bowl and mix until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with the warm shrimp.

BROILED SHRIMP WITH HONEY-SESAME SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for sauce together in a bowl and whisk until the honey dissolves.
• Stir in the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat a broiler to high.
• Thread shrimp onto skewers, reserving the marinade in a saucepan.
• Stir in 1 tbsp cornstarch and boil the marinade until thick and syrupy.
• Baste the shrimp with the sauce and save any extra sauce for serving time.
• Place the shrimp under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes per side.

SUMMER GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, maple seasoning, and lemon juice in a glass bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
• Whisk olive oil, honey, lime juice, cilantro, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Set vinaigrette aside.
• Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Grill until shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from skewers and set aside.
• Place mixed greens in the bottom of a large salad bowl. Lay cucumber, corn, tomato, red onion, and avocado in sections on top of the greens. Pile the grilled shrimp in the center of the salad. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
