Rum Glazed Spicy Shrimp Food

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.

SHRIMP ON SUGARCANE WITH RUM GLAZE

Steps:

• Trim off the ends of the sugarcane and cut them into skewers. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and then drain and blot dry with paper towels. Skewer the shrimp on the sugarcane.
• Place the brown sugar, butter, rum, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and salt in a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook until the mixture is thick and syrupy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as necessary. Set aside a small amount of the glaze to be used for dipping the cooked shrimp. The recipe can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead to this stage; keep the shrimp in the refrigerator, covered. The glaze can be kept at room temperature.
• Preheat the grill to high. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the shrimp kebabs on the hot grate and grill until cooked, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Generously baste each with glaze once before turning and once before removing from the grill. The shrimp will be firm and white when cooked through. Serve the reserved glaze as a sauce on the side.

RUM-GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. Peel shrimp, leaving tails intact. Place shrimp in a bowl with 4 tbsp. rum along with lemon or lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, pepper; toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for up to 1 hour.
• 2. Combine brown sugar, vinegar, and remaining 2 tbsp. rum. Thread shrimp onto skewers and lightly brush with brown sugar glaze.
• 3. Grill over medium hot fire, brushing with additional glaze until shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes on each side or until done.

SPICY GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Glaze: Place all ingredients in a bowl and place over boiling water until butter is melted. In a blender of a food processor, blend on high speed until the mixture becomes a smooth paste. Refrigerate overnight before use.
• For the shrimp: Make a small incision in the outside of the backside of the shrimp. Working with the shrimp's natural curvature, poke the tail of the shrimp up through the incision to expose the tail. Pull the tail completely through the whole so that the tail can easily serve as a toothpick.
• To assemble: Heat cooking oil in a large saute pan over high heat - cooking oil should coat the bottom of the pan. Add half the shrimp to the pan to cook. Move them around constantly so they will cook completely and evenly. Once the shrimp are fully cooked, add 2 heaping tablespoons of the glaze to the pan while moving the shrimp. Allow the glaze to evenly coat all the shrimp and lightly caramelize on the shrimp. Remove the shrimp from the pan. Wash the pan and repeat the process with the next 8 shrimp. Once all the shrimp have been cooked and glazed, garnish them individually with a basil leaf by sticking the leaf in through the incision made for the tail. Serve the shrimp warm or at room temperature.

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.

RUM GLAZED SHRIMPS

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.
