Honey Garlic Shrimp Skewers Food

SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak bamboo skewers in boiling water for at least 30 minutes.
• Combine the oil, honey, soy sauce, lemon, chillies, garlic and salt in a blender or food processor (you can use an immersion blender too) and blend until smooth.
• Place the shrimp in a bowl then pour over the marinade. Mix to make sure the prawns are covered then allow to marinade for 10-20 minutes.
• Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, pushing the skewer first through the tail and then through the thicker part to ensure they are secure on the skewers. Brush each skewers with marinade.
• Preheat the grill for 5 minutes on high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until the shrimp are caramelized and opaque.
• Remove from the grill and serve with lemon wedges.

HONEY-GARLIC SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine butter, honey, lemon juice, pineapple juice, garlic, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside 1/2 of the sauce for dipping.
• Thread pineapple, shrimp, and bell pepper alternately onto both skewers and baste with the remaining sauce.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat (400 degrees F (200 degrees C)) and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill until shrimp are cooked through and opaque in color, turning halfway, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce.

HONEY-GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make sure shrimp are fully thawed and well drained. Keep in the refrigerator while you make the marinade.
• Whisk garlic, honey, ginger, soy sauce, and fish sauce together in a bowl.
• Add shrimp and toss thoroughly with a spatula for 2 minutes until completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes; toss occasionally while marinating.
• Brush a large nonstick skillet with oil and heat over high heat until you begin to see small wisps of smoke. Use tongs to immediately transfer shrimp into the hot skillet in a single layer. Set excess marinade aside.
• Sear shrimp for 2 minutes, then flip over. Dump in marinade and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat and flip shrimp once more; let sit for about 1 minute. The marinade in the pan will reduce down to a beautiful glaze just from the residual heat in the pan. Garnish with green onion.
