Jerk Shrimp Kebabs With Tomatoes Onions And Peppers Recipes

JAMAICAN JERK SHRIMP IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Combine soy sauce, vinegar, onion, olive oil, green onions, thyme, habanero peppers, sugar, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a food processor; blend for about 15 seconds to make the jerk seasoning.
• Shape foil into a bowl. Add shrimp and pour in enough jerk seasoning to cover. Place the foil bowl on the grill. Seal the top, leaving a small opening. Grill until pink, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Pour shrimp into a medium bowl.
• Heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over shrimp.

JERK SHRIMP KABOBS

Steps:

• Heat coal or gas grill for direct heat.
• Mix oil, jerk seasoning and salt in large bowl. Add shrimp, pineapple and bell pepper; toss to coat.
• Thread shrimp, pineapple, and bell pepper alternately on each of four 12 to 15 inch meat skewers, leaving 1/4 inch space between each piece.
• Mix the preserves and lime juice; set aside.
• Cover and grill kabobs 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 4 minutes. Turn kabobs and brush with the preserve mixture. Cover and grill 4 to 8 minutes longer or until shrimp are pink and firm.

JERK SHRIMP KEBABS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS, AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes. Preheat the broiler or prepare the grill.
• To make the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the jerk sauce, 1/2 cup of the olive oil, the ginger, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, toss the tomatoes and onion with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the vegetables out on a large plate and microwave them for 2 minutes. Let the vegetables cool slightly, then thread them onto skewers along with the shrimp.
• Place the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, or, if grilling, place on the grill. Cook, turning once, for 5 to 6 minutes more, or until the vegetables are tender and the shrimp are opaque. Garnish with the parsley before serving.
• If you can't find jerk sauce, you can skip it and make this even simpler. Just brush the shrimp and veggies with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill as directed. The shrimp won't be spicy, but their sweet flavor will really shine.
