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
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are opaque in the centers, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately — though they still rock at room temperature.
