Garlic Skewered Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and a large skillet over medium heat.
• For the shrimp: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, sriracha, crushed red pepper, garlic, lime zest and juice and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Set the glaze aside.
• Thread the shrimp onto 4 metal skewers, 5 shrimp per skewer. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place on the grill pan and cook for 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, brush the top with the glaze and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Flip the glazed side down, brush the top with the glaze and cook for an additional minute. Flip, glaze and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, up to an additional minute per side. Remove from the grill and drizzle with any remaining glaze.
• For the spinach: Meanwhile, heat the oil in the skillet and add the spinach and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Make a bed with the spinach on a serving platter. Top with the shrimp skewers and garnish with the remaining parsley.

Steps:

• Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
• Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.

Steps:

• Rinse and dry shrimp.
• Whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, pepper, and parsley together in a bowl and pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Lightly coat metal skewers with cooking spray.
• Remove shrimp from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place about 5 shrimp on each skewer.
• Cook on the preheated grill until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes; do not overcook.

Steps:

• Thread the shrimp through the skewers at two points, through the neck and tail portion. If you compare the shape of the shrimp to the letter "C" the skewer should go through both the top and bottom section of the "C". You should have 5 shrimp per skewer. Place into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the roasted garlic salad dressing, lemon juice and Italian seasoning. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the salad dressing mixture. Pour the remaining dressing over the shrimp and, using a brush, make sure all the shrimp are completely coated with the dressing. Let sit in the refrigerator for 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Brush the grill grates with a paper towel that has been soaked in canola oil. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cover. Cook until opaque and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• While the shrimp are grilling, combine the arugula and tomatoes in a large bowl. Pour the reserved dressing over the arugula, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Place 2 of the shrimp skewers on each plate. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side.
