Firecracker Marinade For Seafood Or Poultry Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper, garlic, vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a mini food processor or small blender jar; blend until smooth.
• Place salmon fillets in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade on top, seal, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and let the bag sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry. Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet and season with additional salt and pepper. Slice remaining jalapeno pepper thinly and place on top of salmon.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Brush 2 teaspoons maple syrup onto the fillets and return to the hot oven. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together in bowl; place in large resealable bag.
• Add seafood (or poultry), seal bag, and turn several times to coat.
• Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix barbecue sauce, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons oil, the white wine vinegar, soy sauce, pepper sauce and 1 clove garlic. Add pork; turn to coat. Seal bag and refrigerate, turning pork occasionally, at least 2 hours but no longer than 12 hours.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. In large bowl, mix bell peppers, 2 tablespoons oil, the balsamic vinegar, salt and 2 cloves garlic. Remove pork from marinade; reserve marinade.
• Cover and grill pork over medium heat 20 to 25 minutes, brushing occasionally with marinade and turning once, until pork has slight blush of pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Cut pork into slices; arrange on platter with bell pepper mixture.

• Slice partway through each sandwich roll, splitting it open. Scoop out some bread from the top to make room for the filling.
• Toast rolls in the preheated oven until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Soak shrimp in the buttermilk mixture for about 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Spread crab aioli generously over both sides of each roll; top with sliced lettuce.
• Toss shrimp in the breading to coat; shake off any excess. Fry shrimp in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and immediately transfer shrimp onto the rolls. Sprinkle cayenne pepper on top.
