Sesameprawnshrimpskewers Recipes

Steps:

• Thread 3 shrimp onto each of eight 6-inch bamboo skewers. Combine soy sauce and vinegar in a shallow dish, and put sesame seeds on a plate. Dip each skewer of shrimp into the soy-vinegar mixture, and then dip both sides in the sesame seeds.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add skewered shrimp, and cook until shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer skewers to a plate. Pour the remaining soy-vinegar mixture into the hot pan, and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 15 seconds. Drizzle sauce over shrimp, and serve warm or at room temperature.

• Prepare 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Spray each with nonstick cooking spray. Scoop 1/2 cup rice into the center of each sheet. Top each with 1 cup spinach, 1/4 cup zucchini and 1/4 cup snap peas. Divide shrimp evenly among the packets. Spoon remaining marinade over each packet. Fold each packet to close (not too tight), leaving the seam side up.
• Place packets, seam-side up, on the grill. Cook until shrimp is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and open packets carefully.

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until fragrant. In a shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons of the sesame seeds with the sesame oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. Thread 3 shrimp onto each skewer, piercing each at the head and tail, and place in the marinade. Turn to coat and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds on a plate. Transfer the skewers to the plate and coat with the sesame seeds. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and sear the skewered shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp and cook until the marinade thickens.
• Place the skewers on a plate and pour the marinade over. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

Steps:

• Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tail intact for presentation.
• Combine all of the remaining marinade ingredients and toss thru the prawns.
• Refrigerate 30 minutes only. (do not allow to marinate longer than the 30 minutes).
• Remove the prawns from the marinade and thread onto the skewers.
• Roll the skewered prawns onto the sesame seeds using a dinner plate or chopping board.
• BBQ or grill on high for approx 2 minutes each side.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Take out 1/4 cup of sauce for basting while grilling. Coat the remainder of the shrimp with the sauce. Remember to keep the shrimp cold while it is marinating.
• Thread shrimp onto metal or soaked wooded skewers.
• Grill, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with the remainder of the sauce.

Steps:

• Remove the leaves from half of each rosemary sprig. Reserve the sprigs to use for skewers. Chop enough of the leaves to make 1 1/2 teaspoons. (Reserve the remaining leaves for another use.) Combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, and chopped rosemary in a medium bowl. Season the marinade with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the shrimp and toss until coated. Let stand for 5 - 10 minutes (not longer or they will be tough). Skewer 2 shrimp onto each rosemary sprig. (I had a lot of extra shrimp not on skewers that I was able to just cook in the grill pan without skewers and it was just as good).
• Heat a large, wide grill pan (or comal) over high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 1 minute per side, or just until the shrimp is cooked through and turns pink. Do not overcook. Transfer to a platter, garnish with the lime wedges and serve immediately.
• *Cook's Note: Make sure to buy rosemary sprigs with thick stems. Some rosemary twigs are very flimsy; you want the kind that are like a small twig, which will be strong enough to hold the shrimp.
• **Cook's Note: Use the exact same marinade on chicken breasts and whole chickens for roasting. It's also great on any white fish fillet; just add a couple of tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings after the fish has been cooked and removed. Drizzle the sauce over the fish and serve!
• ***Cook's Note: The chipotle chile is a smoked, dried jalapeno. They can be found dried, pickled or canned "in adobo" which is a sauce made with ground chiles, herbs, vinegar and spices. For this recipe, we will use the chipotle powder. Both types are sold in most supermarkets.
