Shrimp Glazed with Cherry Habanero Sauce(Entree Recipe)

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1/3 cup of Cherrywood Cherry Habanero Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with salt and pepper, ensuring they are well-seasoned.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the shrimp and mix well to coat.
4. Place the seasoned shrimp on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as shrimp can become rubbery if left on the grill for too long. Remove the cooked shrimp from the grill and set aside.
5. In a small saucepan, warm the Cherry Habanero Sauce over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Once the Marinade has thickened, brush it generously over the cooked shrimp. Ensure that each piece is coated with a flavorful glaze.
7. If desired, return the glazed shrimp to the grill for a minute or two to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly. This step is optional but adds an extra level of flavor.
8. Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves to add a touch of freshness.
9. Serve the shrimp immediately, accompanied by lime wedges that can be squeezed over the shrimp for a tangy kick. The combination of the sweet Cherry Habanero Sauce, succulent shrimp, and zesty lime creates a harmonious blend of flavors.

Note:

Let your creativity run wild by adjusting the sauce's spiciness and sweetness to suit your taste preferences.

Cherry Habanero Shrimp (Entree Recipe)

Prep time: 20 minutes
Marinating time: 1 to 2 hours
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 cup of Cherry Habanero Sauce

  • Juice from 1 lime

  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon of honey

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the cherry habanero sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
2. Take the peeled and deveined shrimp and place them in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the shrimp, making sure all the shrimp are coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
3. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 1 to 2 hours. The longer you marinate, the more flavorful the shrimp will be. Make sure to flip the shrimp halfway through marinating to ensure even coating.
4. After the marinating time, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, a grill pan or skillet can also be used.
5. Once the grill is hot, remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto skewers, if desired. This will make flipping them on the grill easier. Discard the remaining marinade.
6. Place the shrimp on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and become opaque in the center. Be careful not to overcook them, as shrimp can become rubbery.
7. Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor and color.
8. Serve Cherry Habanero Sauce Shrimp as an appetizer, or with a side of your choice such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
