Grilled Orange Habanero Marinated Shrimp And Octopus Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the apricot preserves, lime juice, habanero, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Transfer half the sauce to a large zip-top bag and add the shrimp. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Heat a grill to high or heat a large grill pan over high heat. Brush the grates or the pan with oil. Soak bamboo skewers in water and a wedge lime.
• Thread 5 shrimp onto a bamboo or metal skewer (discard the sauce in the bag) and grill until charred on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook, please.
• Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping and lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together all marinade ingredients until well blended (remove 3-4 tablespoons to brush on the shrimp while cooking).
• Pour the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add in the shrimp, seal bag and toss to coat the marinade with the shrimp.
• Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Soak the wooden skewers in cold water 30 minutes before threading.
• Set grill heat to medium-low.
• Thread the shrimp onto the skewers piercing once near the tail and once near the head; discard the marinade.
• Grease the grill grate.
• Cook shrimp for about 5 minutes per side or until opaque, brushing frequently with the reserved marinade.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reserve a small amount for basting later. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag with shrimp. Seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add orange concentrate and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook until syrupy and reduced to a scant 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar and jalapeños; cook 1 minute. Let cool 10 minutes. Set aside 1/4 cup glaze for serving.
• If using wooden skewers, first soak in water 30 minutes, then drain (to prevent burning). Lay 6 shrimp side by side; slide a skewer through head ends to secure together. Thread a second skewer through tail ends. Spread shrimp slightly so there are small gaps between them. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Preheat grill to high; brush grates with oil. Grill bread, flipping once, just until lightly charred and crisp in places, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to a platter or board; brush with oil.
• Brush shrimp with half of remaining glaze and grill, turning once, until opaque and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Brush with more glaze, turning a few times to caramelize, until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from grill and brush with some of reserved glaze. Serve over grilled bread, with remaining reserved glaze on the side.

Steps:

• Combine the remaining garlic and 1/4 cup olive oil in a small bowl. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Skewer the shrimp and brush with some of the oil-garlic mixture on both sides; season with salt and pepper. Grill until opaque, about 2 minutes per side, brushing with the remaining oil-garlic mixture. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with the orange-habanero mojo.
