GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add orange concentrate and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook until syrupy and reduced to a scant 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar and jalapeños; cook 1 minute. Let cool 10 minutes. Set aside 1/4 cup glaze for serving.
• If using wooden skewers, first soak in water 30 minutes, then drain (to prevent burning). Lay 6 shrimp side by side; slide a skewer through head ends to secure together. Thread a second skewer through tail ends. Spread shrimp slightly so there are small gaps between them. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Preheat grill to high; brush grates with oil. Grill bread, flipping once, just until lightly charred and crisp in places, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to a platter or board; brush with oil.
• Brush shrimp with half of remaining glaze and grill, turning once, until opaque and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Brush with more glaze, turning a few times to caramelize, until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from grill and brush with some of reserved glaze. Serve over grilled bread, with remaining reserved glaze on the side.

CURRIED-SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat grill until very hot. Place rice and 1 3/4 cups water in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, about 20 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes, fluff with a fork, and let cool.
• Grate zest from 1 lemon into a large bowl; squeeze both lemons to yield 6 tablespoons juice. Add to the bowl, then add rice, mint, cilantro, parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss to combine.
• Leaving tails intact, peel and devein shrimp; transfer to a medium bowl. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and curry powder. Toss until shrimp are well coated. Thread shrimp onto skewers, and place on hot grill. Cook until pink and opaque; serve over rice.

GARLIC SHRIMP KABOBS

Steps:

• Rinse and dry shrimp.
• Whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, pepper, and parsley together in a bowl and pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Lightly coat metal skewers with cooking spray.
• Remove shrimp from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place about 5 shrimp on each skewer.
• Cook on the preheated grill until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes; do not overcook.
