Aquavit Marinated Shrimp Recipes

MARINATED GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a jar with a lid, combine all of the marinade ingredients. Shake until completely combined.
• Place shrimp in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the marinade in the bag with the shrimp. Seal the top of the bag and place shrimp in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes (but not more than 2 or 3 hours).
• Remove shrimp from the bag and discard the marinade. Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill over high heat for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through. If you prefer, you can also broil the shrimp on a sheet pan in the oven for about 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Garnish with fresh lime wedges and additional chopped parsley.

AQUAVIT-MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Stir in 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and 1/4 cup chopped dill. Set marinade aside.
• Place 1/4 cup chopped dill in medium saucepan. Add 4 cups water. Bring to boil. Stir in shrimp. Remove from heat. Let stand until shrimp are opaque in center, about 2 minutes. Drain shrimp; reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Stir reserved cooking liquid into marinade. Add shrimp. Cover; chill 2 hours, tossing occasionally. Drain; reserve 3 tablespoons marinade.
• Mix mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard and 3 tablespoons marinade in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Shrimp and sauce can be made 6 hours ahead. Chill separately.)
• Arrange dill sprigs on platter. Arrange shrimp and tomatoes atop dill. Serve with sauce.

OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
• Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.
