Mojito Shrimp Street Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the mojito-lime marinade mix, oil, vinegar and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Remove 3 tablespoons of the marinade and reserve for basting. Add the shrimp to the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for high heat.
• Put the coconut in a small flameproof skillet on the grill and cook, shaking frequently, until the coconut is toasted in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the toasted coconut to a clean plate lined with paper towels and allow to cool. Set aside.
• Skewer the shrimp: Thread a skewer through a shrimp, then thread it through a second shrimp, alternating the direction so the tail end of the second shrimp is directly above the head end of the first shrimp. Repeat with 4 additional shrimp on the same skewer, alternating the direction each time. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and skewers so you have 8 skewers of shrimp.
• Tear off 2 large pieces of aluminum foil and fold each into a long rectangle. Arrange on the grill about 12 inches apart. Lay the skewers on the grill so that the exposed wood end tips of the skewers are resting on the foil (this will keep the skewers from burning). Grill until the undersides of the shrimp are pink and charred in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the skewers over and baste with the reserved marinade. Grill until the undersides are pink and charred in spots, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.
• Add the cilantro and peanuts to the coconut and toss to combine. Sprinkle the mixture over the shrimp and serve with the lime wedges.

Steps:

• 1. Mash garlic, pepper and oregano by pulsing in a food processor. Whisk garlic mixture with next 7 ingredients (through olive oil)
• 2. Set aside half the sauce. Add shrimp to the other half of the sauce and marinade in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• 3. Drain shrimp, reserving marinade. Heat 2 Tbs olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with salt. Toss for 30 seconds
• 4. Lower the heat to medium and cook shrimp, turning at least once until they are pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp to a warm platter.
• 5. Increase the heat to high add the reserved marinade and the other half of the sauce reserved earlier. Boil sauce until reduces by half and thickens. Pour it over the shrimp and serve.
