GARLIC GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Chop garlic on a cutting board. Sprinkle kosher salt over salt and with the back of a large knife, smash the garlic on the cutting board to form a paste.
• Heat garlic paste and olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat until garlic begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Skewer about 5 shrimp on each wooden skewer by piercing shrimp through the tail and the upper body. Season shrimp with kosher salt and pepper. Brush one side of the shrimp with garlic-infused olive oil.
• Place shrimp oil-side down on the preheated grill and brush with more olive oil; cook until shrimp begins to turn pink and curl, about 4 minutes. Turn shrimp over and brush with olive oil again. Continue grilling until shrimp is opaque and pink all over, about 4 minutes more.

HONEY GINGER SHRIMP

SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI IN GINGER GARLIC SAUCE (PALEO, WHOLE30, KETO)

Steps:

• Place the broccoli florets in a large microwave safe bowl with 1 tbsp water. Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Toss the florets and microwave for 1 additional minute. Rinse in cold water and set aside to drain.
• Chop the garlic but do not overly mince or it will get burnt easily in the wok. Chop the green scallion parts for garnish, if using.
• Pat dry the shrimp with clean paper towels. Butterfly with a small paring knife. Make a slice on the top (the back) of a shrimp down the middle, cutting almost but not all the way through to expose the vein. The butterfly step is optional but will help the shrimp cook evenly and more beautiful looking in presentation.
• Combine the ingredients in the ginger garlic sauce from coconut aminos to arrowroot starch. Stir-well.
• Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium heat until it's too hot to place your palm near the surface, about 2-3 minutes away. Add 1.5 tbsp oil. Quickly place the shrimp one-by-one to the skillet and fry them in a single layer (try not to overlap them) over medium-high heat about 2-3 minutes first side. Do not flip or move around the shrimp. Then quickly flip them with a tong or chopsticks to fry the second side for about 1-2 minutes. Scoop them out along with pan juice and scrape off any brown bits into a bowl and set aside to keep warm.
• Use the same skillet/work, add the rest of oil. Fry garlic with a pinch of salt over medium heat, about 5 seconds. Toss and scoop often so as not to burn the garlic. Add broccoli and season with 2 pinches of salt. Stir-fry and toss for 30 seconds over medium-high heat.
• Stir the sauce one more time. Add the shrimp and sauce back to the wok, scoop and toss for another 30 seconds.
• Off heat, garnish with green scallions, if using, and drizzle with more toasted sesame oil if desired. Serve warm or in room temperature.

GARLIC GINGER TERIYAKI SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel shrimp leaving the final tail section intact. Devein and partially butterfly shrimp (only butterfly the area furthest from the tail, so the shrimp will stand properly in a casserole dish). Set shrimp aside.
• Place all remaining ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add shrimp to bowl and marinate for about 1/2 an hour, any longer may toughen the shrimp. Remove shrimp from marinade and stand each one individually in casserole dish, one behind the other, with each tail resting on the shrimp in front of it. Pour marinade into casserole dish covering shrimp approximately 1/2 way. Place shrimp in oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

CHILI-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH GINGER RICE

• Bring 2 1/4 cups water and the ginger slices to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Stir in the rice and return to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover and set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix the chicken broth, ketchup, chili-garlic sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch and 1/2 cup water in a measuring cup; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in two batches and cook until no longer translucent, 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove to a large bowl.
• Add the broccoli and 1/2 cup water to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and the water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add to the bowl with the shrimp.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced ginger and stir-fry until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in the prepared sauce and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and broccoli and toss to coat, adding a splash of water to loosen, if needed. Serve with the rice.
