Rum Glazed Shrimp Recipes

HONEY, GINGER, LIME, AND RUM GLAZED SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the lime zest and juice, honey, rum, ginger, garlic, and cayenne in a saucepan and whisk until thoroughly blended.
• Bring the marinade to a boil over medium heat, cook 1 minute and let cool completely.
• Place the shrimp in a flat dish and pour half of the marinade onto them along with the olive oil. Cover and marinate in the refrigerate for at least one hour or as long as 8 hours.
• Preheat grill or set the top rack of your broiler. If you are broiling the shrimp, line a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup.
• If you are skewering the shrimp, choose fast cooking veggies like 2-inch lengths of scallion, 1/2 inch slices of small zucchini or yellow squash, baby tomatoes, or bite-sized pieces of yellow pepper, and alternate them with the shrimp.
• Cook the kebabs for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Toss shrimp with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Grill or broil the shrimp for 1 minute, brush with the marinade and turn.
• Cook for an additional two minutes, basting generously with more marinade. The shrimp will be bright pink on the outside and white on the inside.
• Stir the chopped cilantro into the remaining glaze and pour over the shrimp while they are still hot, passing lime wedges on the side.

'BUT WHY IS THE RUM GONE?' GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine mint leaves, sugar, and shallot in a bowl; pound with a spoon to crush coarsely. Whisk rum and 1/4 cup lime juice into mint mixture to make a marinade. Stir lime zest into the marinade; season with salt and black pepper.
• Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add the shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto 6 bamboo or metal skewers, all facing the same way. Discard marinade.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until nicely browned on all sides, and the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice over the skewers to serve.

RUM-GLAZED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Mix the pineapple juice, lime juice, spiced rum, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. When the juice mixture comes to a boil, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and whisk until thickened, a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place on each skewer 2 pieces of pineapple, 2 shrimp, 2 pieces of red bell pepper, 2 pieces of yellow bell pepper, 2 pieces of onion and 3 mushrooms. Season the skewers with salt and pepper.
• Oil the grill. Place the skewers on the grill and brush with the glaze. Grill the skewers on each side until the shrimp is pink, 3 to 4 minutes, brushing with the glaze halfway through.
• For the mint chimichurri: Add the mint, olive oil, rice wine vinegar and red onion to a bowl; mix well. Season with salt and pepper (heavy on the pepper). Serve with the shrimp skewers.

RUM-GLAZED SHRIMP AND MANGO

Steps:

• Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, rum, sugar, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; stir into lime-juice mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; let cool.
• Thread shrimp onto 8 skewers, using 4 shrimp per skewer. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Thread mango slivers onto 4 skewers, using 2 pieces per skewer. Brush shrimp and mango all over with glaze.
• Heat grill to medium-high; oil grates. Place shrimp and mango skewers on grill; cook, turning once, until blackened in spots and shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining tablespoon lime juice with the oil; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress; toss to coat.
• To serve, divide watercress among four plates; top each with 2 shrimp skewers and 1 mango skewer.

RUM GLAZED GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix together the honey, lime juice, spiced rum, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, cilantro, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch in a large bowl until the glaze is smooth and the cornstarch is thoroughly blended with the rest of the ingredients. Pour half the glaze into a smaller bowl for basting. Rinse and pat the shrimp dry, and gently stir into the large bowl to thoroughly coat the shrimp with the glaze.
• Remove from the glaze, and discard the used glaze. Thread 5 shrimp onto each skewer, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Grill the shrimp until bright pink and opaque and the glaze has cooked onto the shrimp, about 4 minutes per side. Baste with additional unused glaze before turning the shrimp over.

TAMARIND RUM GLAZED SHRIMP MARTINI

Steps:

• Mix the olive oil, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Add peeled boniato to cold water and cook until just tender. Drain and mash with heavy cream, butter, salt, and Parmesan cheese. Reserve for later and keep warm.
• Combine the rum, tamarind, brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, ginger, and scotch bonnet pepper in a large saucepan and simmer on medium low heat for 15 minutes.
• Mix cornstarch with the water until smooth and add to the sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes.
• In saute pan, heat olive oil on medium heat and add shrimp. Cook for about 1 minute on each side or to when shrimp turns pink.
• Add 1/4 of the rum sauce to the pan with shrimp and toss; cook for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
• Saute vegetables in olive oil and allow them to be crisp, but tender.
• To serve, pipe 2 to 3 ounces of the boniato mash in a martini glass, then arrange 4 shrimp around the rim of the glass with the tail out. Pile some of the sauted vegetables on top of the mash like a nest, then drizzle some of the sauce over. Garnish with a sprig of parsley.

RUM PUNCH

Steps:

• Make a brown sugar simple syrup: Add the brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a small saucepan. Stir to combine, then heat over medium and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. (Makes about 2 1/2 cups.)
• While the simple syrup is simmering, juice the limes into a large bowl until you have 2 cups lime juice and pulp. Add 1 3/4 cups of the simple syrup, plus the rum, bitters and nutmeg; stir to combine.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the punch into a large pitcher. Add 3 cups ice and stir until most, if not all, of the ice has melted and the pitcher is cool to the touch. (Taste the punch at this point and, if desired, add more simple syrup or lime juice.) If not serving right away, refrigerate up to 2 days.
• Serve in ice-filled rocks glasses. Garnish with grated nutmeg or a lime slice, or both.
