Best Recipe for Monster Shrimp with Orange Chili Glaze

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 2 oranges)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon Asian red chili paste
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 scallions, green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds extra-large shrimp (16 to 20-count size), shelled and deveined

Instructions

  1. Put the orange juice, cilantro, chili paste, olive oil, garlic, scallion, chipotle, and salt in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade and blend until smooth.
  2. Place the shrimp in a resealable freezer bag and pour the orange juice mixture over the shrimp. Chill in a refrigerator or ice-filled cooler for 2 to 3 hours but no longer.
  3. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are opaque in the centers, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately — though they still rock at room temperature.
