Grilled Jalapeño and Lime Shrimp - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Addigal
The great thing about this recipe is that your jalapeño-lime mixture does double-duty as a marinade and a finishing sauce. You blend it in the food processor and then separate it into two bowls – one for marinating your raw shrimp, the other for tossing your cooked shrimp in the rest of the sauce.
Even with the double-dose of jalapeño, the shrimp really doesn’t get very spicy, so if you want more heat, be sure to add another pepper or some extra cayenne.

Ingredients
Marinade:
1 to 2 jalapeño chiles, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons juice (from 3 limes)
6 cloves garlic, minced (1 to 2 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Shrimp:
1/2 pounds extra-large shrimp (21 to 25 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
1.For the Marinade: Measure the marinade ingredients into the food processor, and process until smooth. Set aside 2 tablespoons of marinade. Transfer the rest to a large bowl.
2.For the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, and butterfly them. (Make a shallow cut along the outside curve of the shrimp to open them up a little.) 3.Toss the shrimp into the large bowl with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. 4.To Prep the Grill: Fill a chimney grill starter with charcoal briquettes. Light them, and let them burn until the coals are gray. Pour the coals into a pile on one side of grill. Set your cooking grate in place, close the grill, and let it heat for 5 minutes. 5.Meanwhile, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, alternating the direction of each shrimp. (You should get 10 to 12 shrimp on each skewer.) 6.Sprinkle sugar on one side of the shrimp skewers. 7. Grill the shrimp sugar-side down over the hot part of the grill until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. 8.Flip skewers, and move them to cool side of grill. Close lid and let rest until other side of shrimp is no longer translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. 9.Using tongs, slide shrimp into a clean bowl, and toss with the 2 tablespoons of reserved marinade. (Or, if you want to serve the shrimp on the skewers, brush on the marinade.) Serve immediately.Similar recipes
