Delicious Grilled Seafood Recipes Recipe For Shrimp

DELICIOUS GRILLED SEAFOOD

Steps:

• Note: I typically do this recipe with just shrimp (I try to use big ones), but a combination of shrimp and scallops looks very attractive on the skewers.
• First, marinate seafood: in a mixing bowl, combine soy, lime juice, sugar, oil, ketchup, garlic and spices.
• Place shrimp and/or scallops in a glass dish or in a heavy resealable bag and cover with all the marinade.
• Cover/seal tightly and refrigerate for one hour.
• Remove seafood from marinade after one hour and thread onto skewers (if using wooden ones, you'll need to soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes before using to ensure they won't burn).
• Over a medium-hot grill, cook until seafood is done; this won't take long, only about 3 or 4 minutes per side.
• I have never broiled them, but I'm sure that would work well, too.
• Use reserved marinade to baste skewered seafood while it cooks.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH PONZU SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
• Whisk soy sauce, mirin, sugar lemon juice, oil, ginger, and lemon zest in a shallow glass bowl to blend.
• Add shrimp and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drain marinade into small saucepan and bring to boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove sauce from heat and let cool slightly.
• Preheat grill. Grill shrimp until just opaque in center (shrimp should be pink and firm to the touch), turning occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide bok choy or napa cabbage between 2 plates, top each with 5 shrimp, and drizzle with a liberal amount of warm sauce and serve. You can also serve the sauce on the side if you'd prefer.
