CHILI LIME GARLIC GRILLED SHRIMP MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk the garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, chili powder, lime juice, red pepper flakes and olive oil together in a large mixing bowl.
• Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat.
• Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
• Grill the shrimp for 3 minutes per side.
• Heat a grill over medium-high heat, approximately 450°F.
• Use tongs to remove the shrimp from the marinade and place the shrimp directly on the grill.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp starts to turn opaque white with some pink highlights.
• Place a grill pan, or cast iron skillet, on the stove top over medium high heat.
• When the pan or skillet is hot, use tongs to remove the shrimp from the marinade and place it in the skillet, making sure not to crowd the skillet.
• Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, adding or removing 1-2 minutes if the shrimp are smaller or larger in size.

GRILLED CHILE-LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except shrimp and stir well.
• Peel shrimp except for tail, and devein. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place shrimp in large resealable bag. Add marinade. Through bag, rub marinade into shrimp. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Halfway through, turn bag and give shrimp another marinade massage. (Do not marinate longer than 20 minutes, or the acidic lime juice will cook the shrimp).
• Place shrimp on cutting board and nestle them together in groups of six. Using 2 bamboo skewers for each group, skewer the shrimp together (this is for nice presentation, keeps shrimp from falling into the grill and makes them easier to turn). NOTE: Soak bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes prior to use, to keep them from burning.
• Grill shrimp on an oiled grill rack 2 minutes per side, or until opaque.
• (Serve with Toasted Couscous with Grilled Mango and Zucchini).
