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.

SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP WITH RUM

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a large glass or ceramic bowl and toss with the salt and Tabasco. In a small glass bowl, combine the rum, lime juice, Worcestershire, and cumin. Whisk together and pour the mixture over the shrimp. Toss the shrimp to coat them evenly, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and preferably 2.
• Preheat a grill or broiler to high heat. In a small saucepan heat the butter and olive oil over low heat. When the mixture is hot and foamy, add the garlic and stir for 1 or 2 minutes, until the aroma of the garlic is released. Do not allow the garlic to burn. Remove 2 tablespoons of the marinade from the shrimp dish and add to the garlic mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Remove the shrimp from the marinade with a slotted spoon and discard the remaining marinade. Place the shrimp in a shallow ovenproof dish that will hold them all in one layer. Or, make a single layer of shrimp in the base of individual gratin dishes. Pour an equal amount of the garlic mixture over each, and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. Broil the shrimp about 4 inches from the heat source until golden and bubbling, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then squeeze a little lime juice over each and sprinkle with the parsley.
