Rum Glazed Shrimp Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• Trim off the ends of the sugarcane and cut them into skewers. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and then drain and blot dry with paper towels. Skewer the shrimp on the sugarcane.
• Place the brown sugar, butter, rum, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and salt in a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook until the mixture is thick and syrupy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as necessary. Set aside a small amount of the glaze to be used for dipping the cooked shrimp. The recipe can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead to this stage; keep the shrimp in the refrigerator, covered. The glaze can be kept at room temperature.
• Preheat the grill to high. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the shrimp kebabs on the hot grate and grill until cooked, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Generously baste each with glaze once before turning and once before removing from the grill. The shrimp will be firm and white when cooked through. Serve the reserved glaze as a sauce on the side.

Steps:

• 1. Peel shrimp, leaving tails intact. Place shrimp in a bowl with 4 tbsp. rum along with lemon or lime juice, oil, garlic, salt, pepper; toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for up to 1 hour.
• 2. Combine brown sugar, vinegar, and remaining 2 tbsp. rum. Thread shrimp onto skewers and lightly brush with brown sugar glaze.
• 3. Grill over medium hot fire, brushing with additional glaze until shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes on each side or until done.

Steps:

• Skewer shrimp, season with salt and pepper and grill about 5 minutes, or until just cooked through. Combine pepper, mango, vinegar, rum, cilantro and garlic in a saucepan and simmer 5 minutes. Serve as dipping sauce for shrimp.

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine rum, molasses, lemon rind, cinnamon, anise and peppercorns. Reduce until it becomes a glaze and set aside for later use. Brush the shrimps with olive oil on both sides. Then rub and season with garlic and salt and pepper to taste and grill. Arrange shrimps on a serving platter and drizzle with the rum glaze.

Steps:

• Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, rum, sugar, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; stir into lime-juice mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; let cool.
• Thread shrimp onto 8 skewers, using 4 shrimp per skewer. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Thread mango slivers onto 4 skewers, using 2 pieces per skewer. Brush shrimp and mango all over with glaze.
• Heat grill to medium-high; oil grates. Place shrimp and mango skewers on grill; cook, turning once, until blackened in spots and shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining tablespoon lime juice with the oil; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress; toss to coat.
• To serve, divide watercress among four plates; top each with 2 shrimp skewers and 1 mango skewer.
