Grilled Shrimp With Chile Cilantro And Lime Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Put the shrimp into a glass bowl. Whisk the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and pour 1/2 to 2/3 if it over the shrimp. (Reserve the remaining marinade to brush on the shrimp during grilling.) Allow the shrimp to marinate for only 8 to 10 minutes or the lime juice will begin to "cook" the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side while brushing with the reserved marinade. I use a silicone brush. Remove the shrimp from the grill to a platter and serve garnished with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Mix first 9 ingredients; toss with shrimp. Let stand 15 minutes., Thread shrimp and lime slices onto 4 metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill, covered, over medium heat until shrimp turn pink, 2-4 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Zest limes into a bowl. Squeeze in juice from 1 lime, and whisk in fish sauce and sugar.
• Preheat grill to high. Brush shrimp with oil on both sides, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Grill until pink and firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Toss shrimp with fish-sauce mixture, cilantro, peanuts, and scallions. Juice remaining lime over shrimp.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except shrimp and stir well.
• Peel shrimp except for tail, and devein. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place shrimp in large resealable bag. Add marinade. Through bag, rub marinade into shrimp. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Halfway through, turn bag and give shrimp another marinade massage. (Do not marinate longer than 20 minutes, or the acidic lime juice will cook the shrimp).
• Place shrimp on cutting board and nestle them together in groups of six. Using 2 bamboo skewers for each group, skewer the shrimp together (this is for nice presentation, keeps shrimp from falling into the grill and makes them easier to turn). NOTE: Soak bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes prior to use, to keep them from burning.
• Grill shrimp on an oiled grill rack 2 minutes per side, or until opaque.
• (Serve with Toasted Couscous with Grilled Mango and Zucchini).

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor place the cilantro leaves and stems, scallions, chilies, garlic, lime juice, cumin, and turmeric.
• Puree, adding a little water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
• Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail intact.
• Devein them, place them in a bowl, and toss with the cilantro puree.
• Marinate for 8-12 hours.
• Prepare a moderately hot charcoal fire.
• When ready to cook, scoop up the shrimp so that more of the marinade remains on one side of each one.
• Place the shrimp marinade-side up pon the grill.
• Cook until almost done, about 2 minutes.
• Turn shrimp over and cook quickly on marinade side, about 1 minute.
• Remove shrimp from grill.
• Divide shrimp among serving plates.
• Pass garnishes at table.
• Each guest should sprinkle the shrimp with coarse salt, pepper, chili powder, a squeeze of lime juice, and a few cilantro leaves.
