SHRIMP EMBROCHETTE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the 6 chopped shrimp, bread crumbs, crabmeat, jalapeno pepper, pepperjack cheese, Cheddar cheese, olive oil and garlic salt. You can experiment with the amounts of shrimp and crab, just make sure the mixture holds together firmly when squeezed in your hand.
• Preheat the oven's broiler.
• Lay the bacon strips out on a clean work surface. Squeeze a small handful of the crab mixture tightly. Stuff it into a butterflied shrimp, and wrap with bacon. Secure with two toothpicks - I like to make an X out of toothpicks, it holds better. Place the shrimp on a roasting pan, or cookie sheet.
• Broil shrimp for about 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crisped, then turn and broil on the other side.

SHRIMP BROCHETTE

• Sautee butter, lemon juice and garlic in sauce pan until bubbling, then remove from heat. Preheat oven to broil Lightly cook bacon so it is somewhat pre-cooked but not crispy. Peel, de-vein and butterfly shrimp Cut jalapenos into quarters length-wise and remove seeds. Cut bacon strips in half For each shrimp, put stip of jalapeno down the center, then wrap in bacon, and secure with toothpick or small wooden skewer. Place shrimp in 9x9 Pyrex baking dish Pour butter over shrimp, ensuring each shrimp is fully coated with butter. Broil for 15-20 minutes. Turn shrimp after 7 minutes and brush again with butter at bottom of dish.

MARINATED TUNA AND SHRIMP BROCHETTE

Steps:

• Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't burn when grilling. Cut the tuna into 2-ounce portions, then peel and devein the shrimp. Place 1 shrimp on each skewer, and then place the skewer through a piece of tuna long-ways and "cap" off with 1 more shrimp. In a medium bowl, combine all of the dry herbs and the garlic. Next, add the vinegar and citrus. Finally, slowly whisk in the oil to create a "vinaigrette" consistency. In a deep dish, add the tuna/shrimp skewer and top with half of the marinade. Marinate for no more than 25 minutes, or else the acids will cook the fish. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Preheat a grill or a grill pan.
• Place the marinated skewers on the grill and cook to desired temperature (1 minute per side will cook the shrimp and make the tuna medium rare).

• Place the kabobs on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill and serve immediately with the lemon wedges.

CHUCK'S SHRIMP BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Make a deep slit along the back of each shrimp and spread to butterfly. Stuff each shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon queso fresco and some jalapeno. Close the shrimp around the cheese and jalapeno. Wrap the stuffed shrimp with a half-piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick or small skewer.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the adobo sauce, garlic powder and lime juice. Pour half of the butter mixture into a bowl for serving and divide the remaining half between 2 bowls for brushing and basting.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat; brush with olive oil. Brush one side of the shrimp with the butter mixture and put the shrimp on the grill buttered-side down. Using the same brush and same butter, brush the second side. Grill for a few minutes, checking to make sure the bacon is not sticking to the grill.
• Flip the shrimp and cook, flipping as needed and frequently basting with the second small bowl of butter and a clean brush, until the bacon is completely cooked and the shrimp are opaque, about 8 minutes total. Serve the shrimp on a platter with the remaining chipotle butter.

SHRIMP BROCHETTE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. Soak skewers in water.
• Place a strip of jalapeno into the opening of butterflied shrimp. Wrap with a piece of the bacon, and thread onto skewers so that the shrimp is pierced once through the head, and once through the tail, and bacon is secure. You can usually fit about 6 shrimp on a skewer. Make sure there is a little space between the shrimp, this will help the bacon cook better. Season both sides of the shrimp generously with Cajun seasoning.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place shrimp skewers on the grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn, and place slices of cheese over the shrimp. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until bacon is browned, and cheese is melted.

SHRIMP AND JALAPEñO BROCHETTES

Steps:

• In a shallow dish let the skewers soak in water to cover for 1 hour. On a cutting board mince and mash the garlic to a paste with the salt. In a bowl combine the garlic paste, the oil, and 1 of the jalapeño peppers minced (wear rubber gloves) and toss them until they are coated with the marinade, and let them marinate for 30 minutes. Cut the remaining jalapeño peppers crosswise into forty-eight 1/4-inch slices and thread 1 shrimp around 1 jalapeño slice on each skewer. The brochettes may be prepared up to this point 2 hours in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Grill the brochettes on a rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals, turning them once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just firm.
• (Alternatively, the brochettes can be broiled on racks set in jelly-roll pans under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat, turning them once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just firm.)
